Servo press machine and setting method for servo press machine

A control apparatus for a servo press machine that performs press working by using an eccentric mechanism that converts a rotary movement to a linear movement to convert rotation of a servo motor to a reciprocating linear movement of a slide, the control apparatus comprising:

• a display that displays a strip-shaped region for setting a motion of the slide;
• an user interface that receives an input operation;
• and
• a processor programmed to control the display to display the strip-shaped region in accordance with the input operation from the user interface,
• wherein the strip-shaped region has a range that extends from an upper end of the strip-shaped region to a lower end of the strip-shaped region and that represents a movement range of the slide in the linear movement,
• wherein the range of the strip-shaped region is divided into slide operation regions that are consecutive in a direction in which the strip-shaped region extends, the slide operation regions each representing a motion setting of the slide in a corresponding part of the range of the strip-shaped regions,
• wherein when the user interface receives a request for adjusting a speed setting of the slide in one of the slide operation regions, the processor controls the display to vary a visual representation of the one of the slide operation regions based on the adjusted speed setting, and
• wherein the user interface receives a request for adjusting sizes of adjacent two of the slide operation regions when a boundary between the adjacent two of the slide operation regions is specified through the user interface, the processor controls the display to move the boundary along the direction in which the strip-shaped region extends to adjust the sizes of the adjacent two of the slide operation regions.
