Abstract: Provided is a numerical controller having a machining curve creating function. A command point sequence is divided into a plurality of segments and a segment curve corresponding to each segment command point sequence is created. The segment curve is created so that a distance of the segment curve from the segment command point sequence is within a permissible value set in advance, and the maximum number of command points are included between a starting point and an ending point of the segment command point sequence. This process of segment curve creation is repetitively executed from the starting point to the ending point of the command point sequence to create a machining curve. Subsequently, the machining curve is interpolated and drive axes of a machine tool are moved to the interpolated positions on the machining curve.
