DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a press machine, and more particularly to an operating section attached to the side face of a press body.
BACKGROUND ART
A press machine, heretofore in use, has a press operating section in which a control button for manually operating a slide, an emergency stop button, etc., are disposed, and which is attached to the front face of a machine body, and an operating section attached to the side face of the machine body in a position easily viewable by a press operator. In the latter operating section, there are disposed control switches making up a run mode setting section for selecting a run mode of the press machine between automatic operation and manual operation, a main motor start-up switch, a speed setting section for setting the pressing speed, etc., so that the operator can easily make various settings, with a view of ensuring safety and improving operability.
In such a press machine, however, when confirming the run mode (operation mode) prior to the start of pressing, the operator is required to visually check both the position of the operation mode selecting switch and the name plate corresponding to the position of the selecting switch in the press operating section attached to the front face of the machine body or the operating section attached to the side face of the machine body. Therefore, the operator may select the wrong operation mode by mistake. In addition, for example, if the press operation mode selecting switch suffers a contact failure, the correct operation mode is not set even with the operator correctly selecting the operation mode. This may result in a risk that a serious trouble possibly occurs. Further, with conventional press machines, it has been difficult for the operator to judge press operating conditions, etc., at a glance.
As another example of the prior art, Japanese Utility Model Unexamined Publication No. 6-5799 discloses a remote control press machine, wherein a portable console panel is separately provided from a press machine body, and a beam of light or electric wave is transmitted from the console panel to a control box provided on the press machine body, enabling setting conditions, etc., to be instructed from a remote position.
However, because such a portable console panel is disconnected from the press machine and operates in a non-contact manner, it is given directivity and, when used, must be directed toward the control box provided on the press machine body. This has raised a concern that, depending on the position of the operator, the press machine may not be operated or may be erroneously operated. Also, because the portable console panel is disconnected from the press machine, it has been susceptible to damage by being dropped onto the floor or trodden under foot, or being missing.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished with a view of solving the above-mentioned disadvantages in the prior art, and an object is to provide a press machine which can improve safety and operability in the pressing operation. Another object of the present invention is to enable press operating conditions, etc., to be easily grasped. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a press machine having a remote console panel which is free from operating errors and can be handled with less care.
A first aspect of the press machine according to the present invention is featured in that the press machine has a console panel provided with crank angle displaying means, for displaying the rotational position of a drive shaft detected by rotation detecting means; pressing state displaying means, for displaying a press operating state; sheet switch means, for inputting control information, such as the vertically moving speed of a slide, the number of pressed products, the production lot, and press operating conditions, into a control section; and multi-displaying means capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of the control information inputted from the sheet switch means at a time.
