Abstract
A wire discharge machining apparatus includes a numerical control unit carrying out numerical control of the wire discharge machining apparatus according to a machining program and a display unit displaying information concerning machining of the workpiece by the wire discharge machining apparatus. The numerical control unit includes a wire-remaining-length calculating unit calculating a length of the wire remaining in a wire bobbin attached to the wire discharge machining apparatus and a wire-consumed-length calculating unit calculating an estimated length of the wire used for machining of the workpiece. The display unit displays, as a graphic, information concerning a remaining length that is a calculation result in the wire-remaining-length calculating unit and information concerning an estimated consumed length that is a calculation result in the wire-consumed-length calculating unit, and adds information representing a progress of a machining stage to the information concerning the estimated consumed length.
