FORMING MACHINE FOR PRODUCING FORMED PARTS
First Claim
1. A forming machine that produces formed parts by forming wire, tube or other elongated workpieces comprising:
- a plurality of driven machine axes;
a drive system comprising a plurality of electrical drives that drive the driven machine axes;
a control device that controls in a coordinated fashion operating movements of the driven machine axes in a production process according to an operating program selected for the production process;
a speed setting device provided to set an operating speed of the forming machine for the production process; and
an operator information system that determines and outputs at least one item of operator information that controls the operating speed with respect to at least one control criterion related to energy consumption required for production.

Abstract
A forming machine for producing formed parts by forming wire, tube or other elongated workpieces has a plurality of driven machine axes, a drive system having a plurality of electrical drives for driving the machine axes, a control device for the coordinated control of operating movements of the machine axes in a production process according to an operating program specific to the production process, and a speed setting device for setting the operating speed of the forming machine for the production process. An operator information system is used to determine and output at least one item of operator information which makes it possible for the operator to control the operating speed with respect to at least one control criterion which represents the energy consumption required for production.
