Abstract

This invention relates to a numerical control method for a press brake or the like. The back stopper is positioned by driving the motor. In the case where it is impossible to bend a working piece because the back stopper interferes with the working piece, the back stopper is retracted with the lid of a retraction instruction and a back stopper position data. Before the back stopper is retracted, the working piece is held by the punch. The program data of each process can be confirmed by using suitable display units.
