Abstract: A press system includes a press portion and a controller configured to control the press portion. The controller includes a load pattern generator, an evaluation input unit, and an optimum load pattern setting unit configured to set an optimum load pattern based on a plurality of evaluations of the quality input by the evaluation input unit. The optimum load pattern setting unit includes a response surface generator configured to create from evaluation value data based on the plurality of load patterns and the plurality of evaluations of the quality, by using as an objective function, the evaluation value data with the load pattern being defined as a design variable, a response surface of the objective function, and an optimization calculator configured to find an optimum solution of the objective function of the response surface by optimization.

Abstract: A motion generation device generates motion of a slide in a press device configured to perform press molding by driving the slide up and down using a servo motor as a drive source. The motion generation device includes an acquisition component and a second motion generator. The acquisition component acquires data related to a change in a load exerted on the slide in press molding using a first motion. The second motion generator generates a second motion from the first motion based on the change in the load.
