Abstract

There is provided a processing machine and a processing machine line for which it is easy for an operator to view a screen display, including an operation panel with a free vertical and horizontal posture of a display in which a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension are different, in which a first display aspect which displays one screen that is displayed on the display and a second display aspect which is disposed lined up with two screens are switched. Switch buttons are set in order to perform switching between the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen, and the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen are mutually switched by operating the switching button, and during the switching, are rotated 90° with respect to the display.

Claims

1. A processing machine comprising:

an operation panel with a free vertical and horizontal posture of a display in which a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension are different,

wherein a first display aspect which displays one screen that is displayed on the display and a second display aspect which is disposed lined up with two screens are switched,

switch buttons are set in order to perform switching between the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen, and

the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen are mutually switched by operating the switching button, and during the switching, are rotated 90°

with respect to the display.

2. The processing machine according to claim 1,

wherein the operation panel is able to wirelessly communicate with a processing machine body side using a wireless communication device.

3. The processing machine according to claim 1, wherein in a case where the operation panel sets a state in which the display is horizontally longer as a reference posture, the first display aspect screen is a horizontally longer screen, and the second display aspect screen has two screens lined up in a vertical direction with respect to the display in which the horizontally longer screen is set in a vertically longer posture.

4. A processing machine line comprising:

a plurality of processing machine bodies which are connected to each other via a line concentrator; and

an operation panel with a free vertical and horizontal posture of a display in which a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension are different,

wherein in the operation panel,

predetermined information which relates to one processing machine body is displayed on the display by selecting the one processing machine body out of the plurality of processing machine bodies,

a display in which a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension are different is provided,

a first display aspect which displays one screen which is displayed on the display and a second display aspect which is disposed lined up with the two screens are switched,

switch buttons are set in order to perform switching between the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen, and

the first display aspect screen and the second display aspect screen are mutually switched by operating the switching button, and during the switching, are rotated 90°

with respect to the display.

5. The processing machine line according to claim 4,

wherein the operation panel is able to wirelessly communicate with a processing machine body side using a wireless communication device.

6. The processing machine line according to claim 4, further comprising:

a conveyance device which conveys a workpiece between the plurality of machine tools,

wherein a conveyance control device for drive controlling the conveyance device is connected to each control device of the plurality of machine tools via the line concentrator, and the predetermined information on the conveyance device is displayed on the operation panel.

7. The processing machine line according to claim 4,

wherein the respective pieces of predetermined information of the plurality of processing machine bodies are displayed by indication of different identification marks with respect to the display.
