Patent number: 6952811Abstract: A ladder circuit editing system inputs and edits a sequence program for a program controller in the form of a ladder diagram. The ladder circuit editing system has an unavailable area storing at least one inputted circuit pattern and an available area storing a new circuit pattern, and successively inputs circuit patterns from the available area. The ladder circuit editing system includes a circuit pattern extracting means, a display means, and a copying means. The circuit pattern extracting means compares a circuit element from a circuit pattern stored in the available area with a circuit element from a circuit pattern already stored in the unavailable area, and extracts a circuit pattern containing a circuit element that agrees with a stored one. The display means displays the extracted circuit pattern on an input screen. The copying means copies the extracted circuit pattern into the available area according to an operator's entry.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasunobu Iwata, Taku Watanabe, Shigeki Yamada, Hiroyasu Kimura, Teruyuki Harada, Tomoko Nakamura

Patent number: 5360156Abstract: A welding management apparatus for use with a tube production machine. A workpiece fed from a roll of metal strip is formed in a tubular formation having side surfaces opposite to each other. An upsetting pressure is applied to joint the opposite side surfaces of the workpiece at a jointing point. A high frequency power is supplied to the workpiece to weld the opposite side surfaces at the jointing point so as to produce a metal tube member. The welding management apparatus comprises a camera positioned to have a visual field including the jointing point for producing a video signal indicative of an image including an area luminous with a pre-arc produced in the visual field. An image processor converts the video signal into a luminance distribution pattern. An inference unit is provided for inferring a defective welding condition based upon the luminance distribution pattern. The inference unit includes an alarm unit for producing an alarm when a defective welding condition is inferred.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1993Date of Patent: November 1, 1994Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha MeidenshaInventors: Yuji Ishizaka, Takashi Katanosaka, Osamu Masuda, Hiroyasu Kimura
