Numerical control device having machine tool setup function and storage medium

Abstract

A device that creates information related to a machining program includes a numerical control device, a PC in which machining program creation software is installed, and a dedicated device that is an emulator for the numerical control device. The numerical control device acquires setup information required for a setup operation from the information related to the machining program of a machine tool controlled by the numerical control device and acquires setup basic information from information registered in a device configured to execute the machining program of the machine tool. Setup support information is then generated from the setup information and the setup basic information. Accordingly, the numerical control device supports a setup operation of the machining program by using the acquired setup information and the generated setup support information.
