Abstract
In a method of operating a press machine having a servomotor (20) and a servo controller therefor, the tool stays substantially still immediately after the completion of working a workpiece for a period of from 0.05 to 2 seconds and also the speed of the tool applying an impact to the workpiece for working is decelerated immediately before the tool strikes against the workpiece in order to reduce the noise generated when the impact is applied. The speed and positional locus of the ram (36) are set for each step using respective setting switches provided on a panel. The servomotor (20) is program-controlled according to the data input through the respective setting switches.
Claims6
A servo controller for a press machine having a frame, a servomotor provided on said frame, a power transmission means for transmitting the rotational driving force of said servomotor, and a reciprocating motion conversion means for converting power received from said power transmission mechanism into a reciprocating motion of a ram holding a tool, said servo controller comprising a control-and-display means comprised of a plurality of switches for determining a locus of motion of said ram by controlling the rotation of said servomotor, a servo control means for controlling the motion of said servomotor, and a central processing means for giving commands to said servo control means based on input commands signals from said control-and-display means in that a tool held by said ram stays substantially still for a period of from 0.05 to 2 seconds immediately after the completion of pressing a workpiece so that an air flows into a space between said tool and said pressed workpiece to separate smoothly thereby preventing said workpiece from being damaged.
