WIRE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINE, MACHINING PROGRAM EDITOR, WIRE ELECTRODE MOVING METHOD AND MACHINING PROGRAM EDITING METHOD

A wire electrical discharge machine (10) includes: a determination unit (54) that determines whether or not a first route (64) and a second route (66), each including an approach path (60), a machining path (58) and an escape path (62) in this order, are set in this order as a movement route of a wire electrode (16); and a wire movement control unit (56) that, when the first route (64) and the second route (66) are determined to be set in a machining program (A) in this order as the movement route of the wire electrode (16), causes the wire electrode (16) to transition from the machining path (58) of the first route (64) to the machining path (58') of the second route (66) without moving the wire electrode (16) along the escape path (62) of the first route (64) and the approach path (60') of the second route (66).
