[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, to process a round hole or a long hole in a long object such as an aluminum sash frame or wood, manually set the long object on a general-purpose processing machine and a skilled worker observes the processing state. These processes were performed. However, in such a processing device, it is necessary to move the long object and set the long object to the predetermined position again after each processing, and perform the next processing operation, resulting in poor work efficiency. In addition, there were problems such as poor processing accuracy.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to solve these problems, recently, NC processing machines have been introduced in many factories so that various kinds of processing can be performed accurately. However, this NC processing machine is a very convenient device for performing various processing operations accurately and efficiently. However, before processing, a complicated program containing processing patterns, processing dimensions, tool information, etc. is created in advance. It was necessary to input the data to the NC processing machine, and it took at least two weeks to one month for the proficiency period for the workers on site to become proficient at the NC processing machine and to perform work efficiently. In addition, the device is too large to be used for relatively simple machining in a short time, and NC machining requires complicated input procedures because of the large number of computer denials among workers over the middle age. The machine was shunned and won. Therefore, even if an expensive NC processing machine is introduced, there are many sites that have not fully utilized its capacity.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention enables even an inexperienced person to master a machine in a short time and to process a long object with relatively simple operation by an extremely simple operation. It is an object of the present invention to propose an automatic processing device exclusively for long products that is capable of performing.
