Abstract

In the wire electric-discharge machining apparatus, when a measured voltage exceeds a proportional constant switching voltage that is set higher than a short circuit reference voltage, a relative feed rate determining unit outputs a relative feed rate based on a preliminarily set proportional constant A according to an increase in the measured voltage. When the measured voltage is equal to a reference voltage, the relative feed rate determining unit outputs a target feed rate that becomes a target value, and also outputs a relative feed rate that follows a preset proportional constant B (<A) and that is a positive value when the measured voltage exceeds the short circuit reference voltage but is below the proportional constant switching voltage.
