NUMERICAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND ROBOT CONTROL DEVICE

Abstract: a numerical control system that controls the operation of a machine tool and the operation a robot in a linked manner, comprising a numerical control device that controls the operation of the machine tool on the basis of a numerical control program, a robot control device that controls the operation of the robot on the basis of a robot control program, a variable storage unit that stores the value of a variable that is readable and writable by the numerical control device, and a signal variable converter that converts the value of the variable of the numerical control device to a signal or a variable for the robot control device, wherein: the robot control device reads out the value of the variable of the numerical control device stored in the variable storage unit; the signal variable converter converts the value of the read-out variable of the numerical control device to the signal or the variable for the robot control device; and the robot control device controls the operation of the robot on the basis of the converted signal or variable for the robot control device.
