Abstract
Provided is a program creation device capable of creating an operation program for a robot for removal machining of a workpiece even when a sufficient amount of displacement does not exist between a machined surface and a reference surface of the workpiece or even when the amount of displacement changes. The present disclosure pertains to a program creation device for creating an operating program for a robot for removal machining a workpiece having a machining surface, and a reference surface displaced from the machining surface. The robot for removal machining comprises a removal machining tool. The program creation device comprises: a positional information acquisition unit for acquiring positional information about a positional relationship between the machining surface and the reference surface of the workpiece; a tool information storage unit for storing tool information about the removal machining tool; and a program creation unit for creating, on the basis of the positional information about the workpiece and the tool information about the removal machining tool, the operating program for the robot for removal machining. The program creation unit selects a portion to be used of the removal machining tool so as to avoid interference between the removal machining tool and the reference surface of the workpiece.
