Abstract

A press machine includes a display that displays a plurality of images, and a processor that generates a plurality of images corresponding to a slide operation and a movement operation. The plurality of images include a first image having an annular shape, a second image having an arc shape, and a third image. A first region of the second image represents a movement time required for the movement operation, a third region represents a stop time required for a slide stop process, and a second region represents a delay time until the slide stop process starts after the movement time elapses. The processor displays the third image on the display as a determination element for determining whether the slide operation and the movement operation are settable in a relationship between the slide operation and the movement operation based on an input from the user interface.

Claims (39)

1. A press machine configured to perform press processing by converting rotation of an electric motor into reciprocating linear motion of a slide by an eccentric mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion, the press machine comprising:

a user interface configured to accept an input operation;

a display configured to display a plurality of images; and

a processor configured to generate the plurality of images corresponding to a slide operation of the slide and a movement operation of a workpiece material input from the user interface,

the plurality of images displayed on the display including: a first image which has an annular shape, corresponds to a rotational operation of the eccentric mechanism and represents one stroke of the slide operation; a second image which has an arc shape and is concentric with the first image; and a third image displayed on the second image or on an extension line of the second image near a starting end and a terminating end of the second image,

the first image including at least one slide operation region,

the second image including a first region corresponding to the movement operation linked with the press machine, a second region coupled to a terminating end of the first region, and a third region coupled to a terminating end of the second region,

the first region representing a movement time required for the movement operation,

the third region representing a stop time required for a slide stop process for stopping the slide when the movement operation is defective,

the second region representing a delay time until the slide stop process starts after the movement time elapses, and

the processor is configured to display the third image on the display as a determination element for determining whether the slide operation and the movement operation are settable in a relationship between the slide operation and the movement operation based on an input from the user interface.

2. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the third image includes at least one straight line extending in a horizontal direction, and

the display is configured to indicate that the slide operation and the movement operation are settable by displaying the third region above the straight line, and indicate that the slide operation and the movement operation are not settable by displaying at least a portion of the third region below the straight line.

3. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the user interface is configured to be capable of changing a movement start position of the movement operation by moving a starting end of the first region in accordance with the input operation, and

the processor is configured to, when the movement start position is changed, execute a determination process for determining whether the movement operation after the change is settable with respect to the slide operation, and execute a display process for displaying the second image and the third image after the change on the display as a determination result of the determination process.

4. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the user interface is configured to be capable of moving a display position of the third image in accordance with the input operation, and

the processor is configured to, when the display position of the third image is changed by the input operation to the user interface, execute a determination process for determining whether the movement operation is settable with respect to the slide operation after the change, and execute a display process for displaying the third image and the second image after the change on the display as a determination result of the determination process.

5. The press machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the slide operation region is a pendulum-type slide operation region corresponding to a pendulum operation of the eccentric mechanism,

the user interface is configured to change an inverted position of the pendulum operation by moving at least one end of the pendulum-type slide operation region in accordance with the input operation, and

the processor is configured to, when the inverted position is changed, execute a determination process for determining whether the movement operation is settable with respect to the slide operation after the change, and execute a display process for displaying the first image, the second image and the third image after the change on the display as a determination result of the determination process.

6. The press machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the display process includes further displaying at least one of distance information and time information on the display as the determination element.

7. The press machine according to claim 4 , wherein

the display process includes further displaying at least one of distance information and time information on the display as the determination element.

8. The press machine according to claim 5 , wherein

the display process includes further displaying at least one of distance information and time information on the display as the determination element.

9. An operation setting method of a press machine which performs press processing by converting rotation of an electric motor into reciprocating linear motion of a slide by an eccentric mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion,

a processor of the press machine displaying on a display: a first image which has an annular shape, corresponds to a rotational operation of the eccentric mechanism and represents one stroke of a slide operation; a second image which has an arc shape, and is concentric with the first image; and a third image displayed on the second image or on an extension line of the second image near a starting end and a terminating end of the second image,

the processor determining whether the slide operation and a movement operation are settable in a relationship between the slide operation and the movement operation of a workpiece material based on an input operation from a user interface,

the processor executing a process for displaying the first image, the second image and the third image on the display after a change as a result of the determination,

the first image including at least one slide operation region,

the second image including a first region corresponding to the movement operation linked with the press machine, a second region coupled to a terminating end of the first region, and a third region coupled to a terminating end of the second region,

the first region representing a movement time required for the movement operation,

the third region representing a stop time required for a slide stop process for stopping the slide when the movement operation is defective, and

the second region representing a delay time until the slide stop process starts after the movement time elapses.
