Abstract:
1. An automatic programming method of creating a multi-tool program for a machine having a plurality of tools and performing one or more machining processes of a machining program for machining a workpiece, the automatic programming method comprising: a first step of creating the machining processes for machining the workpiece; a second step of calculating a machining time of each of the machining processes; a third step of selecting a workable tool for each of the machining processes created in the first step; a fourth step of inputting a workable order of the machining processes; a fifth step of inputting, for each of the machining processes, a simultaneously workable machining process if any among the machining processes; and a sixth step of selecting a machining program that provides a shortest machining time from a plurality of programs, based on the machining processes created in the first step, the machining time calculated in the second step, the workable tool selected in the third step, the workable order input in the fourth step, and the simultaneously workable machining process input in the fifth step, the sixth step including
