Abstract:
A numerical controller has a tool retraction function for retracting a tool so as not to damage the machined surface of a workpiece when machining of the workpiece by a machine tool is interrupted. The numerical controller identifies a machining method for the machining to be interrupted when a command to interrupt the machining is detected, determines the direction of the retraction of the tool, based on the identified machining method and the feed direction and the rotation direction of a spindle in the machining to be interrupted, and generates a movement path of the tool in the determined retraction direction.

Claim (Index 3):
The numerical controller according to  claim 2 , wherein the retraction path generation unit is configured to\n assume, in a case where the machining method is down-cut, a leftward direction relative to the feed direction of the spindle to be the tool retraction direction if the rotation direction of the spindle is clockwise as viewed from the base of the spindle, or assume a rightward direction relative to the spindle feed direction to be the tool retraction direction if the spindle rotation direction is counterclockwise, or assume, in a case where the machining method is up-cut, the rightward direction relative to the spindle feed direction to be the tool retraction direction if the spindle rotation direction is clockwise as viewed from the base of the spindle or assume the leftward direction relative to the spindle feed direction to be the tool retraction direction if the spindle rotation direction is counterclockwise.
