Abstract

A press machine includes a display unit which displays a first image in a circular shape corresponding to a rotation of an eccentric mechanism and representing one stroke of slide operation and a second image in a circular-arc shape corresponding to an operation of an attachment device interlocked with the press machine, and an operation unit which receives an input operation. The first image indicates at least one slide operation region. The second image is placed concentrically with the first image in relation to the slide operation region. The second image has opposed ends each allowed to move in response to the input operation in a direction in which the second image extends.

Claims (70)

1. A press machine performing press working by transforming a rotation of an electric motor into a reciprocating linear motion of a slide by using an eccentric mechanism which transforms a rotational motion into a linear motion, the press machine comprising:

a display which displays a first image in a circular shape corresponding to a rotation of the eccentric mechanism and representing one stroke of slide operation and a second image in a circular-arc shape corresponding to an operation of an attachment interlocked with the press machine; and

a touch panel type user interface which is integrated with the display and receives an input operation formed by touching operation,

the first image indicating at least one slide operation region,

the second image being placed concentrically with the first image in relation to the at least one slide operation region, and

the second image having opposed ends each allowed to move in response to the input operation in a direction in which the second image extends.

2. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays a plurality of the second images arranged concentrically with the first image, and

each of the plurality of second images correspond to other operations of the attachment or another attachment.

3. The press machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the second image is displayed in an arrow shape directed from a starting end to a terminal end, and

the arrow indicates a rotation direction which is identical to a direction in which the eccentric mechanism rotates in the first image.

4. The press machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the display further displays a third image in a circular shape, and

the press machine is a servo press machine,

a slide motion is input from the touch panel type user interface to the third image, so that the slide motion is reflected on the at least one slide operation region in the first image.

5. The press machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the display displays a fourth image representing an operation range by an advance angle at the starting end of the second image and

the advance angle is a correction angle which is set to compensate for an operation time delay by the attachment operated by an output from the press machine and keep the attachment to operate at a constant angle.

6. The press machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the display displays a fifth image representing an operation range by an advance angle side by side with the second image.

7. The press machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the press machine is a servo press machine,

the first image includes a pendulum slide operation region corresponding to a pendulum motion of the eccentric mechanism, and

in response to at least one of the opposed ends of the second image being set in a region other than the pendulum slide operation region, the display indicates that the attachment corresponding to the second image is in an erroneous state.

8. The press machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the display further displays a third image in a circular shape, and

the press machine is a servo press machine,

a slide motion is input from the touch panel type user interface to the third image, so that the slide motion is reflected on the at least one slide operation region in the first image.

9. The press machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the display displays a fourth image representing an operation range by an advance angle at a starting end of the second image and

the advance angle is a correction angle which is set to compensate for an operation time delay by the attachment operated by an output from the press machine and keep the attachment to operate at a constant angle.

10. The press machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the display displays a fifth image representing an operation range by an advance angle side by side with the second image.

11. The press machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the press machine is a servo press machine,

the first image includes a pendulum slide operation region corresponding to a pendulum motion of the eccentric mechanism, and

in response to at least one of the opposed ends of the second image being set in a region other than the pendulum slide operation region, the display indicates that the attachment corresponding to the second image is in an erroneous state.

12. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the second image is displayed in an arrow shape directed from a starting end to a terminal end, and

the arrow indicates a rotation direction which is identical to a direction in which the eccentric mechanism rotates in the first image.

13. The press machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the display further displays a third image in a circular shape, and

the press machine is a servo press machine,

a slide motion is input from the touch panel type user interface to the third image, so that the slide motion is reflected on the at least one slide operation region in the first image.

14. The press machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the display displays a fourth image representing an operation range by an advance angle at the starting end of the second image and

the advance angle is a correction angle which is set to compensate for an operation time delay by the attachment operated by an output from the press machine and keep the attachment to operate at a constant angle.

15. The press machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the display displays a fifth image representing an operation range by an advance angle side by side with the second image.

16. The press machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the press machine is a servo press machine,

the first image includes a pendulum slide operation region corresponding to a pendulum motion of the eccentric mechanism, and

in response to at least one of the opposed ends of the second image being set in a region other than the pendulum slide operation region, the display indicates that the attachment corresponding to the second image is in an erroneous state.

17. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the display further displays a third image in a circular shape, and

the press machine is a servo press machine,

a slide motion is input from the touch panel type user interface to the third image, so that the slide motion is reflected on the at least one slide operation region in the first image.

18. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays a fourth image representing an operation range by an advance angle at a starting end of the second image, and

the advance angle is a correction angle which is set to compensate for an operation time delay by the attachment operated by an output from the press machine and keep the attachment to operate at a constant angle.

19. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the display displays a fifth image representing an operation range by an advance angle side by side with the second image.

20. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the press machine is a servo press machine,
