Abstract
In order to easily verify an operation of the machine tool, a machining support apparatus includes a machining monitoring unit 112, a simulation processing unit 113, and a display unit 150. The machining monitoring unit 112, upon receiving a notification indicating detection of a simulation start code programmed in a machining program from a machine tool controller controlling a machine tool via a communication device 130, renders the machine tool controller to stop the machine tool. The simulation processing unit 113 simulates instructions from the simulation start code to a simulation end code in the machining program, while the machine tool is stopped. And the display unit 150 displays a simulation performed in the simulation processing unit.
