  • Patent number: 7769484
    Abstract: A setup information generating device for a punch press which can generate setup information on replacement of a punch and a die with compatible tools, that is, replacement among punches and dies identified by the same tool number and used for processing for the same shape and the same size and which can also generate setup information according to processing know-how or the like. The device has a setup information generating device 48 for comparing a processing schedule with tool numbers in a mounted tool information storage device 45 to generate setup information. The device has a compatible tool registering device 38 for registering processing conditions such as material quality and board thickness and information on which of plural types of punches 81 and dies 82 identified by the same tool number are compatible as a punch 81 and a die 82 which meet the processing conditions are registered in accordance with inputs from an operation panel 46.

  • Patent number: 7460928
    Abstract: The present invention provides a setup information display device for a processing machine which enables required setup information to be easily displayed. The present invention is applied to a multi-turret type punch press or the like. A setup information display device is used for a processing machine 1 in which a plurality of tools 7 can be installed. The device includes information generating means 48 for generating setup information on the basis of a processing schedule SH and information on the tools 7 installed in the processing machine 1. The device also includes display information generating means 71 for generating information to be displayed in an information display section 47a of a display device 47. The display information generating means 71 generates, in the information display section 47a, a setup information display 81 that shows the setup information and a guide display 82 that prompts an operator to perform an operation required to show the setup information display 81.

  • Patent number: 7324869
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tool information display device for a processing machine which can display information on tools installed in appropriate parts of the processing machine, in an easy-to-understand manner. The present invention allows even the identification numbers of installed tools to be checked in an easy-to-understand manner. The present invention provides a tool information display device for a processing machine 101 having tool magazines 5, 6 on each of which a plurality of tools can be installed. The tool information display device includes tool information managing means 33 for managing information on the tools 7 installed on the tool magazines 5, 6. The tool information display device also includes installation status display means 33 for providing a display 50 of installation status of the tools which reproduces installation and arrangement of the tools on the tool magazine 5, 6 in a pseudo manner, in accordance with the information managed by the tool information managing means 33.
