Abstract
A support medium is capable of being read by a numerical control system of a bending machine. The support medium stores program instructions for searching, in a memory region storing at least one group of data, each containing bending conditions, a bend angle and at least one penetration depth, whether input data including a desired bend angle and bending conditions are stored in the memory region, in a same group of data. The support medium sends a signal to the bending machine so that the bending machine executes a bending according to the penetration depth included in the same group of data.
Claims21
A support medium, capable of being read by a numerical control system of a bending machine, said support medium storing program instructions for searching, in a memory region storing at least one group of data, each containing bending conditions, a bend angle and at least one penetration depth, whether input data comprising a desired bend angle and bending conditions are stored in said memory region, in a same group of data, and for sending a signal to said bending machine so that the bending machine executes a bending according to the penetration depth included in said same group of data.
A support medium, capable of being read by a numerical control system of a bending machine, said support medium storing program instructions for searching, in a memory region storing at least one group of data, each group of data containing bending conditions, a bend angle and at least one penetration depth, whether input data comprising a desired bend angle and bending conditions are stored in said memory region, in a same group of data, and for sending a signal to said bending machine so that the bending machine executes a bending according to the penetration depth included in said same group of data, said support medium further storing instructions for searching, when said input data is not stored in said memory region in a same group of data, whether there exists, in said memory region, two groups of data having the same bending conditions as the input data, and respective bend angles between which the desired bend angle lies, and for calculating a penetration depth according to the penetration depths belonging to the two groups of data, respectively.
A support medium, capable of being read by a numerical control system of a bending machine, said support medium storing program instructions for searching, in a memory region storing at least one group of data, each group of data containing bending conditions, a bend angle and at least one penetration depth, whether input data comprising a desired bend angle and bending conditions are stored in said memory region, in a same group of data, and for sending a signal to said bending machine so that the bending machine executes a bending according to the penetration depth included in said same group of data, said support medium further storing instructions for calculating a penetration depth using a predetermined formula when the input data is not contained in a same group of data stored in the memory region and when two groups of data having the same bending conditions as those input by an input device and respective bend angles between which the desired angle lies do not exist in the memory region.
