A control apparatus for an automatic lathe includes a numerical controller, and comprises an input device, a readout section, and a machining program storage section. The input device inputs a machining program expressed by a predetermined language. The readout section reads out the machining program from the input device and digitizes it. The machining program storage section stores the digitized machining program into a timing table form in the order of execution. From the machining program storage section, various kinds of data such as the positional data of tools stated in the stored machining program, rotational data and movement data of a workpiece, and the like are sent out to an editing section. In the editing section, these various kinds of data are reedited and stored by a movement data editing portion. The movement data editing portion determines the movement starting timing of tools such that the tool chosen in a later machining process reaches its machining operation starting position at a machining operation timing instructed by the machining program and at a predetermined speed lower than a speed instructed by the machining program. <IMAGE> |
