Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A prediction device to which one or more wire electrical discharge machines are connected, the one or more wire electrical discharge machines each being configured to perform machining on an object to be machined according to a predetermined machining condition while moving a wire electrode relatively with respect to the object to be machined along a machining path, the prediction device comprising:
one or more processors that execute computer executable instructions stored in a memory; and
a display unit which includes a screen,
wherein the one or more processors execute the computer executable instructions to cause the prediction device:
to predict, for a predetermined consumable component constituting the wire electrical discharge machine and being consumed as the machining is performed, a predicted rate of consumption indicative of a rate of consumption indicative of a degree of consumption based on the machining condition when the wire electrode is moved relatively by a unit distance; and
to display the predicted rate of consumption of the component on the screen,

the memory stores a table in which the machining condition and the predicted rate of consumption of the component are associated with each other, and
the processors cause the prediction device to predict the predicted rate of consumption by referring to the table.
