Abstract
A wire electrical discharge machine controls a second motor unit including motors for feeding a wire electrode in a wire running direction in which the wire electrode extends, so as to feed the wire electrode at a set feed rate during a machining period from a first time point at which the wire electrode moving relative to a workpiece in a direction intersecting the wire running direction is estimated to enter the workpiece, to a second time point at which the wire electrode is estimated to exit the workpiece. The second motor unit is controlled so as to feed the wire electrode at a feed rate lower than the set feed rate during at least one of a first non-machining period from a processing start time point to the first time point and a second non-machining period from the second time point to a processing end time point.
