Abstract

A control device, for a servo die cushion, for precisely performing force control without using a force detector. The control device includes a slide position detecting part for detecting the position of the slide, a storing part for storing information representing a relation between the position of the slide and the speed of the die cushion, the information being predetermined such that the force between the slide and the die cushion is set to a desired force and a die cushion speed commanding part for generating a speed command of the die cushion based on the information and the position of the slide detected by the slide position detecting part.

Claims

1. A control device for a servo die cushion of a press machine, for generating a force applied to a slide of the press machine by using a servomotor as a driving source, the control device comprising:

a slide position detecting part for detecting the position of the slide;

a storing part for storing information representing a relation between the position of the slide and the speed of the die cushion, the information being predetermined such that the force between the slide and the die cushion is set to a desired force; and

a die cushion speed commanding part for generating a speed command of the die cushion based on the information and the position of the slide detected by the slide position detecting part.

2. The control device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the information is a data table determined by a preconditioning operation.

3. The control device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the information is a relational expression determined by a preconditioning operation.

4. The control device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the control device further comprises a die cushion torque commanding part for generating a torque command of the die cushion based on the speed command of the die cushion.

5. A control device for a servo die cushion of a press machine, for generating a force applied to a slide of the press machine by using a servomotor as a driving source, the control device comprising:

a slide position commanding part for generating a position command of the slide;

a storing part for storing information representing a relation between the position of the slide and the speed of the die cushion, the information being predetermined such that the force between the slide and the die cushion is set to a desired force;

a die cushion speed commanding part for generating a speed command of the die cushion based on the information and the position command of the slide generated by the slide position commanding part.

6. The control device as set forth in claim 5, wherein the information is a data table determined by a preconditioning operation.

7. The control device as set forth in claim 5, wherein the information is a relational expression determined by a preconditioning operation.

8. The control device as set forth in claim 5, wherein the control device further comprises a die cushion torque commanding part for generating a torque command of the die cushion based on the speed command of the die cushion.
