Control method and apparatus for plate material processing machine
First Claim
1. An operating state setting method of a plate material processing machine having a plurality of keys, each having a distinct corresponding function relating to an operation of the plate material processing machine, such that an operating state is changed according to an input of at least one of the plurality of keys, the operating state setting method comprising:
- setting an operating state corresponding to a key input operation in a detailed procedure for an experienced operator when an expert mode is selected via a first one of the plurality of keys; and
setting an operating state corresponding to a key input operation in a simple procedure for an inexperienced operator when a beginner mode is selected via a second one of the plurality of keys;
wherein the simple procedure comprises an internal execution procedure, which is activated by sequentially selecting a beginner mode selecting key and at least one moving key, and which changes an automatic mode to a manual mode, the internal execution procedure automatically executing at least one manual operating step of the detailed procedure, thereby eliminating the at least one manual operating step from the simple procedure.

Abstract
An operating state setting device and method of a plate material processing machine, includes multiple keys having corresponding functions relating to operation of the plate material processing machine. The keys include a skill mode selecting key for selecting an expert or beginner mode, an automatic mode key for executing a numeric control processing program, a manual mode key for allocating manual control of a movable member to the operator and moving keys for controlling the movable member in the manual mode. A numerically controlled controller is provided for setting an operating state of the plate material processing machine corresponding to the selected skill mode and executing a detailed procedure in the expert mode and a simple procedure in the beginner mode. The simple procedure may include an internal execution procedure and an editing history selection and corresponding product image display.
