Abstract:
In order to prevent a reduction in the rate of operation and malfunction due to dirt in a machining tank, a wire electric discharge machine configured to perform electric discharge machining in the machining tank is provided with a camera for capturing an image of the inside of the machining tank and determining unit for detecting dirt in the machining tank based on the image captured by the camera. The dirt in the machining tank is detected by the determining unit.
