A work subject material comprising a metal plate for use in punching and/or bending and, attached thereto, a surface protection sheet, characterized in that the surface protection sheet comprises a support base material and an adhesive layer superimposed on one surface of the support base material and that the surface protection sheet exhibits a coefficient (I) not more than 21.0, a coefficient (II) not less than 4.0 and a coefficient (III) not more than 1.5, which are calculated by the following formulae: (I)=thickness of support base material (mm)&#xd7;elongation at break of surface protection sheet (%); (II)=thickness of support base material (mm)&#xd7;strength at break of surface protection sheet (N/20 mm); and (III)=coefficient (I)/coefficient (II).

Work subject material, surface protection sheet and method of working

An operator can recognize the operating state of a plate material processing machine, such as the position state of a positioning pin used in positioning of a work piece in a predetermined position and the operating state of a work clamping device for gripping the work piece, on a display unit, by displaying the operating state in the form of an image of the machine in such a manner that it is intuitively easy, for a beginner, to understand. Further, the present position of a movable member selected as a moving object is displayed on the display screen of the display unit in a form of a relative coordinate covering a moving range of the movable member and a pointer representing the position of the movable member arranged at the relative coordinate.

Control method and apparatus for plate material processing machine

A support system for a laser beam machine is provided which includes an inferred value production unit which produces an inferred value for each of a plurality of processing condition parameters indicative of conditions under which laser processing is performed, by use of an artificial intelligence function, and a display unit which displays the inferred value produced by the inferred value production unit. The support system further includes an input unit which allows an operator to enter a plurality of evaluation parameters that represent results of evaluation on a current processing state. The inferred value production unit includes a processing condition parameter selecting portion for selecting one of the processing condition parameters which is most effective to modify the current processing state, according to the evaluation parameters entered through the input unit, and an inferred value calculating portion for calculating the inferred value based on the output of the processing condition parameter selecting portion, and the evaluation parameters entered through the input unit.

Support system for laser beam machine, and laser beam machine including the same

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.
