Machine tool, method for editing machining program for machine tool, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A machine tool comprising:

• a memory to store tool information specifying a tool mountable on a machine tool;
• at least one display configured to display a program editing window and at least one assistance window, the program editing window showing a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool, each of the at least one assistance window selectively showing the tool information and a control method, the tool being to be controlled according to the control method;
• an interface via which an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code is input;
• and
• circuitry configured to insert a command into the program code at the insertion position, the command corresponding to selected information that is selected from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a machining program, the machining program causing a computer to execute processing comprising:

• obtaining tool information specifying a tool mountable on a machine tool;
• displaying a program editing window and at least one assistance window side by side, the program editing window showing a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool, each of the at least one assistance window selectively showing the tool information and a control method, the tool being to be controlled according to the control method;
• specifying, in the program code, an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code;
• and
• selecting selected information from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window;
• and
• inserting a command into the program code at the insertion position, the command corresponding to the selected information.
