Press device, control method for press device, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing control program

A control method for a press device which causes a slide to advance and retreat to forge a forming object by using a die heated to a predetermined temperature, the control method comprising:

• determining whether or not a press operation enters a stable forging period during which a mechanical load acting on the slide in a press direction is stable;
• and
• adjusting a force acting on the forming object from the die to deform the forming object, based on a predetermined measurement value, when the determination process determines that the press operation enters the stable forging period.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a control program for a press device which causes a slide to advance and retreat to forge a forming object by using a die heated to a predetermined temperature, the control program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

• determining whether or not a press operation enters a stable forging period during which a mechanical load acting on the slide in a press direction is stable;
• and
• adjusting a force acting on the forming object from the die to deform the forming object, based on a predetermined measurement value, when the determination unit determines that the press operation enters the stable forging period.
