Abstract

A numerical controller that machines a workpiece to create multiple machined holes with a predetermined machining position and a predetermined machining shape in the workpiece includes a thermal influence calculation unit that determines a temporal change in a heat distribution of the workpiece for each of the machined holes when the machined hole having the machining shape is created at the machining position, a machining position determination unit that determines a next machined hole that does not cause thermal deformation of the workpiece on the basis of an elapsed time that elapses from creation of a previously machined hole to creation of a next machined hole and a heat distribution resulting from creation of the previously machined hole and the next machined hole, and a machining unit that creates the machined holes. The numerical controller can determine the machining positions taking the thermal deformation into account.
