Abstract
An automatic programming apparatuscomprises: a tool path data generating sectionwhich generates movement path data for a semifinishing tool by analyzing an NC program; a work shape data generating sectionwhich computes areas over which blank is to be machined on the basis of the movement path data, and which generates shape data of a semifinished workpiece by deleting the machined areas from the shape of the blank and also generates attribute data indicating that the faces newly generated by the deletion processing are machined faces; a CL data generating sectionwhich generates CL data by setting the edges of the machined faces as machining portions on the basis of the shape data of the semifinished workpiece and attribute data; and an NC program generating sectionwhich converts the CL data into the NC program for performing the chamfering.
