Abstract: In a conventional CAM apparatus, cutting regions and a tool axis angle by which the cutting time is minimized cannot be automatically set for a finish shape having a free formed surface shape. Accordingly, the CAM apparatus generates quadrangle-shaped patterns of cutting regions using coordinate data of a finish shape and an initial shape. Triangle-shaped cutting regions are generated for concave-convex faces of the finish shape. For cutting regions generated by subtraction by boolean operation with a subtract shape calculated by subtraction by boolean operation between the initial shape and the finish shape, the tool axis angle is set so that the tool does not interfere and the face is maximized. For other regions, the tool axis is set so as to satisfy a remainder standard and to minimize a tool path length.

Abstract: A self-hold type solenoid pulls a plunger by passage of electric current, and attracts and holds with permanent magnets also after interruption of the passage of electric current. A stopper member shifts between a regulation position for striking a front end of a transported sheet and a retracted position retracted from the regulation position by operation of the plunger. The self-hold type solenoid enhances the pull force of the plunger by being supplied with an electric current corresponding to one pulse at timing at which the transported sheet strikes the stopper member existing in the regulation position, and the stopper member is prevented from retracting by receiving an impact in striking the sheet.
