Abstract

In order to permit manual operation under a condition where the axial direction of a tool and the direction of a hole to be machined in a workpiece are held in agreement, the tool of a radius .gamma. is rotated by .theta. in the vertical rotational direction and by .rho. in the horizontal rotational direction in a orthogonal coordinate system and in a spherical coordinate system the origins of which coincide with the center of rotation of the tool. Upon doing so, in the orthogonal coordinates, the position of the front end of the tool becomes X.sub.0 =.gamma. sin .theta..multidot.cos .rho., Y.sub.0 =.gamma. sin .theta..multidot.sin .rho. and Z.sub.0 =.gamma. cos .theta.. Therefore, a train of pulses (Hp) from a manual pulse generator are distributed as X-, Y- and Z-axial components in the proportion to the above values by a manual pulse distribution circuit, and motors for the respective axes are driven through servo circuits by the pulses.
