WORKING PROGRAM GENERATION DEVICE WORKING PROGRAM GENERATION METHOD AND WORKING PROGRAM GENERATION PROGRAM

摘要

To create an NC working program (13) with which a text character embossing work is executed in as short a working time as possible a working program generation device (1) comprises: a text character embossing instrument path generation unit (6) which with a terminus of a set instrument path being an end point of interest executes a process which sequentially sets a line segment which is linked to the end point of interest to the next instrument path for each line segment which is segmented at an intersection point; and an NC working program generation processing unit (7) which generates an NC working program which moves an instrument upon the set instrument path. When a line segment among the line segments which are linked to the end point of interest is a line segment which is not set in the instrument path the text character embossing instrument path generation unit (6) sets the line segment which is not set in the instrument path in the next instrument path. If there are no line segments which are still not set in the instrument path the text character embossing instrument path generation unit (6) overlaps and sets in the instrument path a line segment which is already set in the instrument path from the end point of interest to an end point which configures a line segment which is still not set in the instrument path.
