A numerical control (NC) program generating apparatus includes a standby state analyzing unitanalyzing an NC program to determine whether a block in which an operation unit is brought into a standby state is present, and when such a block is present, determining whether a power sourcecorresponding to the operation unit can be stopped at the time of execution of the block to specify a stoppable block, and a power operation code inserting unitinserting an operation code for stopping the corresponding power sourceat the time of execution of the stoppable block into the NC program and inserting an operation code for restarting the power sourceafter the execution of the block into the NC program.

An interference checking devicechecks, during machining using an NC machine tool, interference between structures of the NC machine tool, a tool and a workpiece, and includes an interference check processing unitvirtually moving models and checking the occurrence of interference based on a position control signal from a numerical controller, and an operation effect degree evaluating unitevaluating the degree of an effect of an operation on a possibility of the occurrence of interference. When a predetermined operation is performed during machining of a workpiece following a first workpiece, the interference check processing unitmoves the models at intervals determined based on the degree of the effect evaluated by the operation effect degree evaluating unit
