A transmission module for a machine control is designed to process an input program code of a control program, and based thereon, to generate a uniform intermediate code having work instructions for execution by the machine control. The input program code comprises a first program code component and a second program code component, where the first program code component is written in a first programming language and the second program code component is written in a second programming language. The work instructions of the intermediate code comprise a first work instruction and a second work instruction, where the first work instruction is generated on the basis of the first program code component and the second work instruction is generated on the basis of the second program code component.

A program generating apparatus for generating an NC program for controlling a wire electrical discharge machine includes a machining order acquisition unit configured to acquire order in which a plurality of machining paths should be machined, the order being determined based on a predetermined rule, and a program generating unit configured to automatically change the order acquired by the machining order acquisition unit, so as to perform fixing process for fixing a core, which is produced during machining of a workpiece, to the workpiece by depositing a component of a wire electrode, prior to performing uncut process for leaving part of the core uncut, and generate an NC program for machining the machining paths in the changed order.

A machining program editing apparatus that enables a machining program to be edited accurately in a short time, and a machine tool having the same, are provided. A machining program editing apparatus 1 for editing a machining program of a machine tool 10 includes a control means 5 for controlling the display content of a display means 3 for displaying the machining program. When a preset NC code, among the NC codes included in the machining program, is selected on the display means 3, the control means 5 allows an edit window 7 for inputting an editing content, according to the type of the NC code, to be displayed near the display position of the NC code.
