Abstract
A numerical control information generating system evaluates all the factors comprehensively in determination of a machining method simply by comparing a threshold with a sum of evaluation values of plural judgement factors. The evaluation values of the judgement factors may be obtained by an evaluation function assigned to each of the factors. If the evaluation values are defined to be varying continuously, they become close to dimensions which are approximate to each other. This may minimize the inconveniences heretofore caused in determination of a machining method such that an extremely small dimensional difference in a step distinguishes a face machining from a longitudinal machining. If the weight which is to be multiplied on each of the judgement factors is suitably varied, the factors may easily be selected or prioritized according to the intent of an operator. Moreover, the ratio of the face machining against the longitudinal machining may be adjusted by suitably setting a threshold.
