Abstract: A control device, for a servo die cushion, by which the speed of a die cushion is prevented from largely deviating from the speed of a slide, whereby the press force between the slide and the die cushion is not significantly reduced. The control device includes a slide speed detector for detecting the speed of the slide, a die cushion speed detector for detecting the speed of the die cushion, and a die cushion speed commanding part for controlling the speed of the die cushion. When a tentative speed command of the die cushion is largely deviated from the detected slide speed, the command of the die cushion is corrected such that the absolute value thereof does not exceed the value calculated by adding the absolute value of the detected slide speed to a positive constant.

Abstract: First and second screens are set for a tool path display apparatus for displaying a path of the tip of a tool attached to a machine tool. The first screen displays the three-dimensional path of the tip of the tool obtained by synthesizing the position information of the drive axes of a 5-axis machine tool.

Abstract: An acceleration detection unit for detecting acceleration is mounted on a driven body. When a previous block is a positioning command, the system waits till the detected value of acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit becomes equal to or less than a set value ?s after the distribution of the movement command of the positioning command is ended. If the detected value of acceleration becomes equal to or less than the set value ?s, the distribution of the movement command of the next block is started. Because the cutting feed, etc., is started after the detected value of acceleration has become equal to or less than the set value ?s and the vibrations stopped, machining can be conducted with high accuracy.

Abstract: A speed region of a motor is divided into a region lower than a first switch speed VS1, a region higher than a second switch speed VS2 and a region between the first and second switch speeds. An abnormal load determination level to be compared with an estimated load obtained by an observer is set for each of the regions. An abnormal load determination level AL4 applied when an acceleration exceeds a threshold value is set. The abnormal load determination level AL4 is used for comparison with the estimated load until a predetermined period of time elapses after the acceleration to be commanded to the motor, which once exceeded the threshold level, drops. In other cases, the estimated load is compared with the abnormal load determination level having a value according to the speed. If the estimated load exceeds the compared abnormal load determination level, it is judged that a collision is detected.

Abstract: A controller for a die cushion mechanism includes: a spring element that is displaced according to force between the die cushion mechanism and a slide; a force instructor that instructs force; a force detector that detects force; and a speed instruction generator that generates a speed instruction of the servo motor, based on a force instruction value instructed by the force instructor and a force detection value detected by the force detector. The speed instruction generator generates the speed instruction by multiplying a force gain by a force difference determined from a difference between the force instruction value and the force detection value. The speed instruction generator changes the force gain, based on a spring constant corresponding value of the spring element determined from a force indicator that works between the slide and the die cushion.
