Abstract
A numerical controller includes a neighboring point search function that moves a tool controlled by a moving axis and a rotation axis onto a machining path directed by a machining program within the range of a neighboring point distance from a current position of the tool. When searching the neighboring point, the numerical controller determines a neighboring point with consideration for both a tool center point position and a tool attitude. By employing this search method, even when a plurality of block start points are present in the neighboring point distance from the current tool position, a block start point of the block originally desired to be restarted can be determined as a neighboring point.
