Numerical control device

A numerical control device having a processor for executing control processing and controlling a machine tool on the basis of numerical control information, said numerical control device including:

• external storage means for storing machining data corresponding to a plurality of shape patterns;
• input means for inputting a part code identifying a shape pattern, machining conditions, and numerical values;
• editing processor means, operatively connected to said external storage means and to said input means, for reading from said external storage means, machining data in accordance with the part code, and for creating numerical control information based on said machining data, said numerical values and machining conditions entered from said input means;
• and
• internal memory means, operatively connected to said editing processor and to daid processor, for storing said numerical control information created by said editing processor, and for entering said numerical control information into said processor.
