Abstract
A wire electric discharge machine and a wire electric discharge machining method in which a workpiece set posture is compensated for an error. After a workpiece is set and fixed on a workpiece table, an upper guide measures three or more three-dimensional positions that are not situated on one straight line on an upper surface of the workpiece, utilizing detection of contact with the upper surface. A unit normal vector is obtained, and a shift amount for shift from an originally set vertical position to a corrected position is calculated. In machining, the shift amount is added to the position to compensate for an angle error of a machined surface, and a deviation of a machined point position caused by inclination of the workpiece is collaterally compensated for. Thus, the machined shape cannot be distorted, and the workpiece set posture error can be compensated for.
