Abstract
A program generating apparatus for generating an NC program for controlling a wire electrical discharge machine includes a machining order acquisition unit configured to acquire order in which a plurality of machining paths should be machined, the order being determined based on a predetermined rule, and a program generating unit configured to automatically change the order acquired by the machining order acquisition unit, so as to perform fixing process for fixing a core, which is produced during machining of a workpiece, to the workpiece by depositing a component of a wire electrode, prior to performing uncut process for leaving part of the core uncut, and generate an NC program for machining the machining paths in the changed order.
Claims8
A program generating apparatus for generating a numerical control program for controlling a wire electrical discharge machine, comprising:
- a machining order acquisition unit configured to acquire order in which a plurality of machining paths should be machined, the order being determined based on a predetermined rule;
- and
- a program generating unit configured to automatically change the order acquired by the machining order acquisition unit so as to perform an attaching process for attaching a core to a workpiece by depositing a component of a wire electrode, and generate a numerical control program configured to machine the machining paths in the changed order, wherein:
- the core is produced during the machining of the workpiece;
- and
- wherein the depositing the component of the wire electrode is done prior to performing an uncut process for leaving part of the core uncut.
A program generating method for generating a numerical control program for controlling a wire electrical discharge machine, the method comprising:
- a machining order acquisition step of acquiring order in which a plurality of machining paths should be machined, the order being determined based on a predetermined rule;
- and
- a program generating step of automatically changing the order acquired in the machining order acquisition step so as to perform an attaching process for attaching a core to a workpiece by depositing a component of a wire electrode, and generate a numerical control program configured to machine the machining paths in the changed order, wherein:
- the core is produced during the machining of the workpiece;
- and
- wherein the depositing the component of the wire electrode is done prior to performing an uncut process for leaving part of the core uncut.
