  • Patent number: 9409740
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sheet bundle binding processing apparatus capable of providing relatively strong bonding when a plurality of sheets are bound by corrugation-shaped pressurizing faces with nip-pressure deformation and causing less frictional damage on a sheet face when a sheet bundle is introduced to and discharged from the binding unit. The present invention comprises a sheet bundle binding processing apparatus including a processing tray which includes a sheet placement face on which sheets are stacked, a press binding device which bonds mutually overlapped sheets stacked on the processing tray with pressure-bonding deformation, a taking-off device which applies a taking-off force to sheets bound by the press binding device along the sheet placement face for taking off the sheets from the press binding device, and a sheet bundle discharging device by which the sheets taken off from the press binding device by the taking-off device is discharged from the processing tray.

  • Publication number: 20160154404
    Abstract: A numerical controller operates a machine tool based on a plurality of parameters and a machining program. A user is allowed to refer to a parameter that has not been set, in other words, a parameter not falling within the range of recommended setting values, among parameters that may influence the shortening of a cycle time of the operation of the machining program on a display screen. For this reason, the user can use the parameter as a reference for reviewing the parameter setting for the purpose of shortening the cycle time or the like.

  • Publication number: 20160011582
    Abstract: A numerical controller includes a storage area for storing startable start-up settings and a database for storing start-up setting values that inhibit the completion of a start-up. If a start-up has been completed at the time of start-up, current start-up settings are stored in the storage area as startable settings. If the start-up has not been completed, start-up setting values that inhibit the completion are registered in the database, the current settings are reconstructed to startable settings, and the numerical controller is restarted. After start-up settings are changed, the database is searched. If the same start-up settings as the changed start-up setting are found, the found start-up settings are outputted.

  • Publication number: 20150022004
    Abstract: A detection unit determines whether a commercial power supply is in a power failure state or a power distribution state. A power source connection management unit controls whether a solar cell is to be connected to a first power conditioner connected to a storage battery or to be connected to the commercial power supply via a second power conditioner. A load connection controller controls connection of the first power conditioner, commercial power supply, and a load. When the commercial power supply is in a power distribution state, the power source connection management unit does not cause the solar cell to be connected to the first power conditioner but connected to the commercial power supply via the second power conditioner, and the load connection controller causes the first power conditioner and the commercial power supply to be connected to the load.
