A contact detection unit, after executing a first detection operation of contact between the wire electrode and the workpiece at a first relative movement speed and a first pulse cycle, executes a second detection operation of contact between the wire electrode and the workpiece, at a second relative movement speed which is slower than the first relative movement speed, and at a second pulse cycle which is longer than the first pulse cycle, and a movement speed control unit, after execution of the first detection operation, and prior to execution of the second detection operation, causes the wire electrode and the workpiece to relatively move in a distancing direction.

Control device and recording medium encoded with program

A float floating in a liquid has a spherical body having a spherical shape from which parts are cut off so as to form a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from one direction. In addition, the float is shaped so as to form a regular hexagonal shape when viewed from the above-mentioned one direction, and the floats are arranged in a honeycomb geometry to thereby reduce the contact area between the liquid and air.
