A method of controlling a multi-spindle lathe is disclosed in which a workpiece (10) is machined alternately using two different spindles (1,2) of the lathe. A transfer process by which the workpiece (10) is transferred between spindles (1,2) is also included in the automatic programming scheme. Automatic programming apparatus (12) accepts instructions and allows implementation through interpretation of the instructions and processing of data in either the instruction field or in a separate storage, or both. Therefore, machining and transference of the workpiece (10) using two spindles (1,2) is possible by the use of a single program with a straightforward input that can be easily understood. Conventional machining can be effected without the programmer having to be constantly conscious of which head or spindle is being employed. <IMAGE> |
