Abstract
The present invention includes a reference parallel line creation step of creating a pair of parallel lines that are respectively in contact with outer edges of a workpiece cross-section without traversing the workpiece cross-section and that are located on an extension plane of the workpiece cross-section, a first determination step of comparing a width between the pair of parallel lines that have been created in the reference parallel line creation step with a maximum separation threshold of the welding electrodes, and determining whether the maximum separation threshold is larger than the width between the parallel lines, and a pull-out direction determination step of determining a direction of the parallel lines as a pull-out direction, in a case where the maximum separation threshold is larger than the width between the parallel lines in the first determination step.
