Abstract
A bending angle detecting device for a workpiece used in a bending machine that bends the workpiece in cooperation of upper and lower tools. The bending angle detecting device has a detector which includes a casing and which can detect a bending angle of the workpiece with the casing fixed in contact with a contact portion of the lower tool.
Claims9
A workpiece bending angle detecting device used in a bending machine which bends a workpiece in cooperation of upper and lower tools, the workpiece bending angle detecting device comprising:
- a casing;
- and
- a detect capable of detecting a bending angle of the workpiece with the casing fixed in contact with a contact portion of any one of the upper and lower tools.
A workpiece bending machine, comprising:
- a bending sequence determination unit that determines a bending sequence of a workpiece on the basis of product information;
- a tool determination unit that determines tools used for bending of the workpiece on the basis of the product information;
- a tool layout determination unit that determines a layout of the tools used for bending of the workpiece on the basis of the product information
- a workpiece position calculation unit that calculates, as workpiece position information, a position of the workpiece with respect to setting positions of the tools determined by the tool layout determination unit for each step of the bending sequence of the workpiece determined by the bending sequence determination unit;
- and
- an angle detection position determination unit that determines a position where the bending angle of the workpiece is detected for each step of the bending sequence of the workpiece determined by the bending sequence determination unit.
