Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a die cutting machine having a miniaturized control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Materials such as steel plates and stainless steel plates are two-dimensionally cut to obtain a desired shape. A cutting machine used for such cutting is a profile cutting machine which moves a cutting torch by tracing a drawing in which the same shape as a target shape is drawn by a tracer, or a numerical control device (NC device). There is an NC cutting machine or the like that inputs graphic information and moves a cutting torch based on this graphic information.

Further, recently, a tracer and an NC device are mounted on a frame constructed so as to be able to travel on a rail, and the information of the drawing traced by the tracer is converted into information along the rail and in two directions perpendicular to the rail. Disassemble,
There is also provided a cutting machine configured to store the information in the NC device and appropriately reproduce the stored information so as to cut the material to be cut. The structure of the cutting machine will be described with reference to FIG. 2.
52 is provided so that it can run. Rail on frame 52
A traverse saddle 53 capable of traveling in a direction orthogonal to the laying direction of 51 is mounted, and a connecting rod 56 having a plurality of torches 54 and a tracer 55 is attached to the traverse saddle 53. The frame 52 has a control device 57 for the tracer 55, an NC device 58, and a relay operation panel 59 for connecting the control device 57 and the NC device 58.
Are provided respectively.

[0004]

As described above, in the cutting machine in which the trace information of the drawing is stored in the NC device, the tracer control device, the NC device and the relay operation panel are respectively configured as different devices. There is. For this reason,
There is a problem that the entire control device for controlling the cutting machine becomes large.

An object of the present invention is to provide a die cutting machine in which a control device for controlling the cutting machine is downsized.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, a die cutting machine according to the present invention comprises a frame movably mounted on a rail, a torch movably mounted on the frame, and a drawing. A tracer that traces the tracer and a numerical controller that controls the traveling of the frame and the torch can be used to store the information traced by the tracer in the numerical controller and read the stored information to cut the material to be cut. In the die cutting machine configured as described above, a control device is integrally incorporated with a relay control panel for connecting the control unit of the tracer, the numerical control device, the control unit of the tracer and the numerical control device. Is provided on the frame.

[0007]

According to the above die cutting machine, the entire structure of the control device can be downsized. That is, since the control device is constructed by integrally incorporating the control unit of the tracer and the NC device and the relay operation panel for connecting the control unit of the tracer and the NC device, the duplicated function in each device is eliminated. Therefore, the control device for controlling the cutting machine can be downsized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the die cutting machine will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a die cutting machine according to this embodiment. In the figure, a pair of rails 1 laid parallel to each other is mounted with a frame 2 that is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the rails 1 and is configured to run along the rails 1. A traverse saddle 3 capable of traveling along the frame 2 is mounted on the frame 2, and a connecting rod 4 is attached to the traverse saddle 3. A plurality of torches 5 and a tracer 6 are attached to the connecting rod 4.

At a predetermined position of the frame 2, a traveling motor 2a for traveling the frame 2 along the rail 1 and a traverse motor 2b for traveling the traverse saddle 3 along the frame 2 are arranged. Also, the respective motors 2a, 2b
Pulse generators 2c and 2d are attached to the respective.
The traveling of the frame 2 with respect to the rail 1 and the traveling of the traverse saddle 3 with respect to the frame 2 may be either a friction system or a rack or pinion system. However, in this embodiment, the rack and pinion system is adopted.

A control device 7 for controlling the entire cutting machine is mounted on the frame 2. This control device 7 is
The C device, the control device of the tracer 6, and the relay operation panel for connecting the NC device and the control device of the tracer are integrally incorporated. As described above, conventionally, the NC device, the tracer control device, the relay operation panel, and the like are incorporated into different control panels as different devices, respectively.
In this embodiment, since the control device 7 is configured by integrally incorporating the functions of the respective devices, the device for controlling the die cutting machine can be downsized.

[0011]

As described above in detail, in the die cutting machine according to the present invention, the NC device, the tracer control device, the NC device and the tracer control device, which are conventionally configured as different devices, are provided. By configuring a control device that integrally incorporates a relay operation panel to be connected, the control device that controls the die cutting machine can be downsized.
