  • Publication number: 20210387434
    Abstract: A transfer press includes a press machine that moves a slide up and down in accordance with pressing motion, and a transport device that moves a retainer in accordance with transfer motion to transport a workpiece. The transfer press includes a creation unit, a determination unit, and a phase adjustment unit. The creation unit creates a three-dimensional operating curved surface based on the provisionally set pressing motion and the provisionally set transfer motion. The determination unit compares a standard upper die interference curved surface with the operating curved surface in the same three-dimensional coordinate system to determine whether the operating curved surface is present within an interference region of the standard upper die interference curved surface. The phase adjustment unit changes a relative phase of the transfer motion relative to the pressing motion when the operating curved surface is present within the interference region.

  • Publication number: 20060215205
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus of the present invention includes a control panel for allowing an application mode selector an image quality mode to be selected. A reading unit generates a preselected color image signal by reading a document image. A scanner corrector executes image processing with the color image signal in accordance with the application and the image mode selected by on the control panel to thereby generate color image data. A storage stores the image data generated by the scanner corrector and information representative a processing mode based on the application and image mode selected on the control panel. A data compressor/expander selectively compresses or expands the image data. A data format converts the format of the image data stored in the storage in matching relation to the processing mode.
