WE CLAIM:
1. A processing control device to control a tool for
processing a first workpiece, comprising:
a driving unit to drive the tool;
an output unit; and
a control unit to control the driving unit and the output unit, wherein
processing information obtained by performing preliminary processing on a second workpiece before performing first processing on the first workpiece is transmitted by the control unit to the output unit and accordingly the processing information is outputted from the output unit,
the control unit generates a control command for performing second processing that is performed on the first workpiece after the first processing, and
the control unit controls the driving unit according to the control command.
2. The processing control device according to claim 1, wherein the processing information includes information indicating a burr position expected to occur on the first workpiece.
3. The processing control device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the processing information includes information indicating a cutting error expected to occur on the first workpiece.
4. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the first processing is cutting processing.
5. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the second processing is deburring.
21

6. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the second processing is cutting processing for correcting a cutting error.
7. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 6, further comprising an input unit for inputting the control command to the control unit.
8. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein
the output unit includes at least one of a monitor, a speaker, or a vibration actuator to vibrate, and
the processing information is outputted from the at least one of the monitor, the speaker, or the vibration actuator.
9. The processing control device according to claim 8, wherein the control unit transmits an image of the first workpiece obtained by performing the first processing to the monitor together with the processing information and accordingly the image of the first workpiece and the processing information are displayed on the monitor.
10. The processing control device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein
the control unit includes a storage device, and
the processing information is stored in the storage device.
11. A machine tool comprising:
a tool for processing a first workpiece; and
a processing control device to control the tool,
wherein the processing control device includes:
a driving unit to drive the tool;
an output unit; and
a control unit to control the driving unit and the output
22

unit, wherein
processing information obtained by performing preliminary processing on a second workpiece before performing first processing on the first workpiece is transmitted by the control unit to the output unit and accordingly the processing information is outputted from the output unit,
the control unit generates a control command for performing second processing that is performed on the first workpiece after the first processing, and
the control unit controls the driving unit according to the control command.
12. A processing control method in a processing control device including a driving unit to drive a tool for processing a first workpiece, an output unit, and a control unit to control the driving unit and the output unit, the method comprising:
performing first processing on the first workpiece;
making the output unit output processing information obtained by performing preliminary processing on a second workpiece before performing the first processing;
generating a control command for performing second processing that is performed on the first workpiece after the first processing; and
controlling the driving unit according to the control command.
