Abstract
A discharge frequency per unit time between a wire electrode and a workpiece is detected, and the thickness of the workpiece is estimated on the basis of the discharge frequency, the relative moving speed between the wire electrode and the workpiece and the information on the shape of the workpiece. Thereafter, the optimum discharge period is calculated on the basis of the estimated thickness of the workpiece and the set processing conditions to perform the processing of the workpiece.
