Abstract Disclosed is a machining method of a punch press machine by which a moving time of a workpiece table is excluded in a punch press machining to improve an operation efficiency. When the punch press machine is commanded to execute a machining for punching a multiplicity of products, a custom macro stored in the memory of a numerical control apparatus is read out (S3), if a tool change is commanded (S4), a tool is changed without moving the workpiece table on which a raw material sheet is fixed (S5) and a machining sequence is reversed (S6), an actual machining is executed by a tool in a forward or reverse machining sequence (S7), unless a custom macro is finished a next machining command is executed (S8), and a next custom macro is executed unless all the machinings are finished (S9), and thus a wasteful waiting time arisen when a tool is changed is excluded, whereby an operation efficiency can be improved.
A machining method of a punch press machine for punching a plurality of products from a single piece of a raw material sheet, comprising the steps of: fixing a tool and punching said raw material sheet at grid positions in a particular sequence; executing a tool change when a machining by said tool has been finished; and executing a machining in a sequence opposite to said sequence.
