Abstract
A clamp of less waste instruction method for an addition axis, which omits instructions for clamping and unclamping and working in response to those instructions, includes the steps of, at a stage of working a work piece with a tool, measuring a rotational torque generated by the working with respect to the addition axis coupled to a table which supports the work piece or a pallet having the work piece mounted thereon; and generating a clamp instruction to the addition axis when the rotational torque exceeds a predetermined reference value.
