Abstract
A press machine is a press machine configured to press a workpiece. The press machine includes a display that displays a state display image which extends in a band shape and indicates an operating state of the press machine during a predetermined period of time up to date. The display displays time series variation in the operating state during the predetermined period of time by variation in a color of the state display image in the band shape in an extending direction.
Claims9
A press machine configured to press a workpiece, the press machine comprising:
- a display configured to display a band-shaped state display image having a length and a width, and representing an operating state of the press machine over a predetermined period of time up to a current time in a direction along the length of the band-shaped state display image,
- wherein the band-shaped state display image comprises unit images arranged along the direction, and each unit image indicates the operating state of the press machine at a unit time,
- wherein each of the unit images shows a color that is a mixture of two or more colors corresponding to respective two or more evaluation values for evaluating the operating state of the press machine,
- wherein the two or more evaluation values are calculated based on respective different evaluation criteria,
- wherein the two or more colors in each unit image are set with gradation values corresponding to magnitudes of the respective two or more evaluation values, and
- wherein the display is configured to display time series variation in the operating state during the predetermined period of time based on the color varying in the direction along the length of the band-shaped state display image.
A method of displaying an operating state of a press machine, the method comprising displaying, on a display, a band-shaped state display image having a length and a width, wherein the band-shaped state display image represents an operating state of the press machine over a predetermined period of time up to a current time in a direction along the length of the band-shaped state display image,
- wherein displaying the band-shaped state display image includes arranging unit images along the direction, each unit image indicating the operating state of the press machine at a unit time,
- wherein displaying the band-shaped state display image includes assigning each of the unit images a color that is a mixture of two or more colors corresponding to respective two or more evaluation values for evaluating the operating state of the press machine, wherein the two or more evaluation values are calculated based on respective different evaluation criteria,
- wherein displaying the band-shaped state display image includes setting the two or more colors in each unit image with gradation values corresponding to magnitudes of the respective two or more evaluation values, and
- wherein displaying the band-shaped state display image includes displaying time series variation in the operating state during the predetermined period of time based on the color varying in the direction along the length of the band-shaped state display image.
