Automatic programming method and automatic programming device

摘要

A first machining-program creating unit creates a machining program for a two-spindle machine, including machining programs for a first process performed by using a first main spindle and a second process performed by using a sub-spindle. A second machining-program creating unit creates a machining program for a one-spindle machine, including machining programs for a third process and a fourth process performed by using a second main spindle. A selecting unit determines a type of a machine to use, and selects either one of the first machining-program creating unit and the second machining-program creating unit to start, based on the determined type of the machine.
