  • Patent number: 9442479
    Abstract: A wire electric discharge machining program is analyzed and a target shape for a workpiece is created. Multiple amounts of adjustment by which the amount of wire radius compensation for a wire electrode is adjusted are set. One or more desired ones are selected from the amounts of adjustment, and the amount of wire radius compensation is calculated by adding the selected amount(s) of adjustment to the amount of wire radius compensation. A machining route which is offset from the created target shape by the calculated amount of wire radius compensation is created.
