Then, touch panel 64 shows operation choice menus (omit diagram), this operation choice menus for operator select be carry out around lathe 2 operated from a distance (hereinafter referred to as near operation) or carry out operated from a distance (hereinafter referred to as remote operation) in the place away from lathe 2.Information for generating run choice menus is included in operation and accepts in information, and operated from a distance application program is presented on touch panel 64.When operating near operator selects and correctly performing all neighbouring behaviors described later, control device 3 assert that operator is neighbouring operator.Afterwards, the operation that control device 3 sends neighbouring operator to operating means 6 accepts information, and touch panel 64 shows neighbouring actions menu 641.Fig. 5 represents an example of the neighbouring actions menu 641 shown by the touch panel 64 of operating means 6.Neighbouring actions menu 641 has the option of operation 64a of the operation to the program performed, to the option of operation 64b of the operation of the cutter used, the option of operation 64c of non-executive routine operation, do not use the option of operation 64d that cutter operates, the option of operation 64e of test process operation, produce the option of operation 64f of counting operation, suddenly stop the option of operation 64g operated, for terminating to show neighbouring actions menu 641 and starting to show remote operation menu 642 (in other words, operate and start remote operation near terminating) option of operation 64h and (no matter be namely neighbouring operation or remote operation for terminating operated from a distance application program, all terminate operated from a distance itself) option of operation 64j.When operator selects the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64a ~ 64h, 64j, realize the operated from a distance corresponding to this option of operation.The menu that neighbouring actions menu 641 accepts information according to the operation operated near the transmission from lathe 2 to operating means 6 and generates.When near operator have selected remote operation or operator have selected, operation but performs a neighbouring behavior mistakenly, control device 3 will assert that operator is remote operation person.

As shown in Figure 6, touch panel 64 shows remote operation menu 642.Fig. 6 represents an example of remote operation menu 642.Remote operation menu 642 has option of operation 64c, 64d, 64f, 64g, 64j in the same manner as neighbouring actions menu 641.Remote operation menu 642 is different from neighbouring actions menu 641, remote operation menu 642 has option of operation 64k to replace option of operation 64h, this option of operation 64k is for terminating to show remote operation menu 642 and starting to show the option of operation of neighbouring actions menu 641 (in other words, terminate remote operation and start neighbouring operation).And, show and option of operation 64a, option of operation that 64b, 64e are suitable dimly.When operator selects the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64c, 64d, 64f, 64g, 64j, 64k, control device 3 realizes the operated from a distance corresponding with the option of operation selected by operator.Even if operator have selected the option of operation shown dimly, control device 3 also can not realize the operated from a distance corresponding with this option of operation.Remote operation menu 642 is the menus accepting information according to the operation of the remote operation sent from lathe 2 to operating means 6 and generate.Nearby also can arrange in actions menu 641 and remote operation menu 642 will the option of operation of remote-operated lathe 2 for blocked operation person.After the operation that operator utilizes touch panel 64 to carry out for operation or remote operation near performing, send the remote-operated operation information represented desired by operator to lathe 2 from operating means 6.Lathe 2 carrys out work according to the operation information received.That is, control device 3 can realize the operated from a distance that utilizes operating means 6 to carry out.Now, the operation information that the operation information that the operation information of transmission operates near relating to also relates to remote operation is judged after receiving operation information by control device 3.

Neighbouring behavior is described.Near behavior refer to the behavior that operator carries out in the position of the lathe 2 that can detect by an unaided eye, this neighbouring behavior representation be easily carry out concerning neighbouring operator, but concerning the behavior being difficult to remote operation person carry out.Specifically, behavior is answered for the problem of the identiflication number of puing question to lathe 2 near first.Near second, behavior is answered for the problem of puing question to door 25 whether to be in open mode.Near 3rd, behavior is answered for the problem of the luminance relating to LED42.Near 4th, behavior opens or closes door 25.Near 5th, behavior is that operating grip 53 makes this handle 53 rotate ormal weight to prescribed direction.Near 6th, behavior is the open/close state switching enable switch 54.Behavior near first is described.The identification famous brand 24 be fixed on the door 25 of lathe 2 shows the identiflication number of lathe 2.Therefore, neighbouring operator easily can read the identiflication number identified shown by famous brand 24, thus can answer exactly.Remote operation person is then difficult to answer the identiflication number identified shown by famous brand 24 exactly.Behavior near 4th is described.Neighbouring operator can easily open or close door 25.Remote operation person is then difficult to open or close door 25.Near behavior near first ~ six, behavior both can be given operator and also can be given operator randomly according to the order to six.Control device 3 by correctly perform behavior near behavior near first ~ six all near the operator of behavior regard as neighbouring operator, and will the operator of a neighbouring behavior be performed mistakenly or there is no the operator the performing neighbouring behavior person that regards as remote operation.Near behavior be not limited to first near behavior near behavior ~ six.Such as neighbouring behavior also can be the operation switching the open/close state of starting switch 51 or the open/close state of emergency stop switch 52.In addition, neighbouring behavior also can be carry out the behavior of answering for the problem of the dynamic password of puing question to shown by display panel 41.Near behavior also can for puing question in multiple LED42, be in the behavior that the problem of the number of the LED42 of bright state of suddenly going out suddenly carries out answering.

As shown in Figure 7, menu 643,644 (hereinafter referred to as neighbouring behavior menu) is presented on touch panel 64 by control device 3, performs neighbouring behavior to make operator.Hurdle 64m and input option 64n is filled in neighbouring behavior menu 643 answer had for inputting answer in control device 3.Answer and fill in hurdle 64m and fill in answer for problem for operator, input option 64n inputs the option for the answer of problem for determining.Such as neighbouring behavior menu 643 shows the problem of the identiflication number of puing question to lathe 2, and answer is filled up to answer and fills in hurdle 64m by operator's operation illustrated numerical key of omission be located on touch panel 64 after observation identifies famous brand 24.Afterwards, operator selects input option 64n to input answer.Neighbouring behavior menu (the omitting diagram) display of behavior near second puts question to door 25 to be in open mode or to be in the problem of closed condition.Near second, the neighbouring behavior menu of behavior has the answer selection option of selecting to answer (open and-shut mode of door 25) for operator.Operator selects to answer and selects option answer to be input in control device 3 after observation door 25.Neighbouring behavior menu (the omitting diagram) display of behavior near the 3rd puts question to which LED in multiple LED42 to be in the problem of lighting lamp state.Near 3rd, the neighbouring behavior menu of behavior has the answer input option inputting answer (can determine the information of the number of the LED42 being in lighting lamp state) for operator.Operator selects to answer input option and answer is input in control device 3 after observation LED42.

Fig. 8 represents an example of neighbouring behavior menu 644.To make operator perform the 4th near behavior time, touch panel 64 shows neighbouring behavior menu 644.When door 25 has been in closed condition, neighbouring behavior menu 644 can show instruction operator and opened by door 25, afterwards again by word content that door 25 is closed.When door 25 has been in open mode, neighbouring behavior menu 644 can show instruction operator and closed by door 25, afterwards again by word content that door 25 is opened.Control device 3 also can will be presented on the display panel 41 of touch panel 64 or lathe 2 opportunity opening or closing door 25.Neighbouring behavior menu (omitting diagram) the display instruction operator operating grip 53 of behavior near the 5th makes this handle 53 rotate the word content (such as " please this handle 53 be made to rotate the amount of ten scales to the right by operating grip 53, make this handle 53 rotate the amount of five scales more to the left afterwards ") of ormal weight to prescribed direction.Operator confirms that the action of processing department 21 makes this handle 53 rotate while carry out operating grip 53 as indicated.Neighbouring behavior menu (omitting diagram) the display instruction of behavior near the 6th switches the word content of the open/close state of enable switch 54.Neighbouring behavior menu such is above presented at from lathe 2 on touch panel 64 to the behavioural information that operating means 6 sends.What behavioural information represented is neighbouring behavior.Control device 3 is not limited to the structure of display problem or instruction, and control device 3 also can be configured to examine oneself slightly illustrated loudspeaker (information output part) voice output problem or instruction.In this case, control device 3 is configured to the answer phonetic entry of operator to omitting illustrated microphone (answer input part).

Fig. 9 ~ Figure 12 is the process flow diagram of the process representing the operated from a distance process performed by operating means 6.Represent the transmission to various information and reception carried out between lathe 2 and operating means 6 with double dot dash line formula arrow in process flow diagram.Start operated from a distance application program operator, and after filling in or selecting the identification title of lathe 2 and specify a machine tool 2, start to carry out operated from a distance process.As shown in Figure 9, operation choice menus is presented at (S11) on touch panel 64 by control part 61.Operation choice menus has selects the neighbouring neighbouring option of operation (omitting diagram) operated and the remote operation option (omission illustrates) selecting remote operation for operator for operator.Then, whether control part 61 decision person have selected remote operation option (S12).When operator's non-selected remote operation option (S12 is no), whether control part 61 decision person have selected neighbouring option of operation (S13).Near operator is non-selected during option of operation (S13 is no), control part 61 makes process be back to S12.When operator have selected remote operation option (S12 is yes), control part 61 sends to lathe 2 and represents that operator has selected a distant place for remote operation to select information (S14).Control part 61 determines whether it has received operation and accepts information (S15), when also not receiving operation and accepting information (S15 is no), then again carries out the process of S15.When selecting information to be sent to lathe 2 in a distant place, it is that the operation of remote operation accepts information that the operation that operating means 6 is about to receive accepts information.Therefore, when have received operation and accepting information (S15 is yes), remote operation menu 642 is presented at (S31 in Figure 10) on touch panel 64 by control part 61.The process of S31 is the process to accepting with the option of operation 64c comprised in remote operation menu 642, operated from a distance that 64d, 64f, 64g, 64j, 64k are corresponding respectively.The control part 61 performing the process of S31 plays a role as the operation efferent of present embodiment.Whether control part 61 decision person have selected the arbitrary option of operation (S32) in option of operation 64c, 64d, 64f, 64g.The process of S32 means whether decision person have selected the operation of non-executive routine, does not use cutter to operate, produces counting operation and the anxious arbitrary operation stopped in operation.When operator have selected the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64c, 64d, 64f, 64g (S32 is yes), control part 61 sends to lathe 2 and represents the operated from a distance corresponding with the option of operation selected by operator, the operation information (S33) of the remote-operated remote operation namely accepted.Perform S33 process after or when not selecting the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64c, 64d, 64f, 64g operator (S32 is no), control part 61 determines whether to receive the various information (S34) sent by lathe 2.When control part 61 has received the various information sent by lathe 2 (S34 is yes), control part 61 has carried out processing (S35) according to the various information received.Terminate S35 process after or when not receiving at control part 61 the various information sent by lathe 2 (S34 is no), whether control part 61 decision person have selected option of operation 64k (S36).The process of S36 means whether decision person have selected and terminates remote operation and start neighbouring operation.When operator does not select option of operation 64k (S36 is no), whether control part 61 decision person have selected option of operation 64j (S37).The process of S37 means whether decision person have selected and terminates operated from a distance application program.When operator does not select option of operation 64j (S37 is no), process is back to S32 by control part 61.When operator have selected option of operation 64j (S37 is yes), control part 61 sends to lathe 2 and represents that operator have selected the ending message (S38) terminating operated from a distance application program, and terminates operated from a distance process.When operator have selected option of operation 64k (S36 is yes) or near operator have selected during option of operation (S13 in Fig. 9 is yes), control part 61 to lathe 2 send represent operator have selected near selection information (S16) near operation.As mentioned above, when operator have selected remote operation, at once and the operation that must send over remote operation from lathe 2 accepts information.Its reason is, the operation based on remote operation accepts remote operation menu 642 that information generates and is available to neighbouring operator and is also available to remote operation person can not have problems.Near operator have selected during operation, near control device 3 sends from lathe 2 after operator near identification operator is, the operation of operation accepts information.Its reason is, near the information that the operation based on neighbouring operation accepted generates, actions menu 641 is supplied to remote operation person can be dangerous.

In the present embodiment, exemplified with operation near have selected operator control device 3 operator is not regarded as near operator time, the operation sending remote operation from lathe 2 accepts information.No matter whether operator have selected neighbouring operation, and touch panel 64 all can show remote operation menu 642, and therefore, operator can know oneself and perform neighbouring behavior mistakenly.Now, as long as operator operates near reselecting or performs remote operation.And, near operator have selected operation and control device 3 operator is not regarded as near operator time, control device 3 also can report an error to operator.

The process of S17 ~ S56 (Figure 11) this process that next will illustrate is the process that control device 3 accepts identification.As shown in Figure 9, control part 61 determines whether to receive behavioural information (S17), when also not receiving behavioural information (S17 is no), then again carries out the process of S17.When receiving behavioural information (S17 is yes), control part 61 judges whether to comprise problem output information in the behavioural information received and answer accepts information (S51).In the behavioural information received, contain (S51 is yes) when problem output information and answer accept information, behavior menu (the neighbouring behavior menu 643 such as shown in Fig. 7) near behavior near behavior ~ three near first is presented at (S52) on touch panel 64 by control part 61.The control part 61 performing the process of S52 plays a role as the output control part of present embodiment.Behavior menu near operator's observation is gone out by the processes and displays of S52 is also answered a question.Control part 61 decision person whether operating touch panel 64 have input answer (S53), when control part 61 is judged as that operator does not also input answer (S53 is no), then performs the process of S53 again.And, still judge that S53 is as time no have passed through the stipulated time after behavior menu near display after, also process can be transferred to S57 described later.Now, control device 3 assert that operator is remote operation person, and accepts information from the operation that lathe 2 sends remote operation.When operator have input answer (S53 is yes), control part 61 sends the answer information (such as representing the answer information having filled in and answered the identiflication number filled in hurdle 64m) (S54) representing the answer inputted to lathe 2.The control part 61 performing the process of S54 plays a role as the answer sending part of present embodiment.In the behavioural information received, do not comprise (S51 is no) when problem output information and answer accept information, the behavioural information received can comprise instruction output information.Therefore, behavior menu (the neighbouring behavior menu 644 such as shown in Fig. 8) near such for behavior near behavior ~ six near the 4th is presented at (S55) on touch panel 64 by control part 61.Behavior near operator's behavior menu near observation is gone out by the processes and displays of S55 also performs.After the process terminating S54 or S55, control part 61 determines whether again to receive behavioural information (S56), when again receiving behavioural information (S56 is yes), process is back to S51.Refer to when again receiving behavioural information in S56 process the correct and remaining operator of behavior near performed by operator should perform near the situation of behavior.When not receiving behavioural information (S56 is no), control part 61 determines whether that receiving operation accepts information (S57), when also not receiving operation and accepting information (S57 is no), process is back to S56.When receiving operation and accepting information (S57 is yes), control part 61 judges that the operation received accepts information and whether accepts information (S58) as the neighbouring operation operated.The operation received accept information be the operation of remote operation accept information time (S58 is no), process is transferred to the S31 shown in Figure 10 by control part 61.Near the operation receiving remote operation in S57 process refers to when accepting information and just to have performed before operator soon, behavior is the situation of mistake.Near receiving in S57 process the operation of operation near to refer to when accepting information performed by operator multiple all correct the and operator of behavior be left operator should perform near the situation of behavior.

The operation received accept information be near the operation of operation accept information time (S58 is yes), neighbouring actions menu 641 (with reference to Fig. 5) is presented at (S71) on touch panel 64 by control part 61.The process of S71 is the process to accepting respectively at the operated from a distance that the option of operation 64a comprised in neighbouring actions menu 641 ~ 64h, 64j are corresponding.The control part 61 performing the process of S71 plays a role as the operation efferent of present embodiment.Whether control part 61 decision person have selected the arbitrary option of operation (S72) in option of operation 64a ~ 64g that neighbouring actions menu 641 comprises.The process of S72 mean decision person whether have selected operation to the program performed, to the operation of the cutter used, the operation of non-executive routine, do not use cutter to operate, test process operation, produce counting operation and anxious stop operating in arbitrary operation.When operator have selected the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64a ~ 64g (S72 is yes), control part 61 sends to lathe and represents the operated from a distance corresponding with the option of operation selected by operator, the operation information (S73) of the remote-operated neighbouring operation namely accepted.Perform S73 process after or when not selecting the arbitrary option of operation in option of operation 64a ~ 64g operator (S72 is no), control part 61 determines whether to receive the various information (S74) sent by lathe 2.When control part 61 has received the various information sent by lathe 2 (S74 is yes), control part 61 has carried out processing (S75) according to the various information received.Terminate S75 process after or when not receiving at control part 61 the various information sent by lathe 2 (S74 is no), whether control part 61 decision person have selected option of operation 64h (S76).The process of S76 mean decision person whether have selected terminate near operate and start remote operation.When operator have selected option of operation 64h (S76 is yes), process is transferred to S14 by control part 61.When operator does not select option of operation 64h (S76 is no), whether control part 61 decision person have selected option of operation 64j (S77).The process of S77 means whether decision person have selected and terminates operated from a distance application program.Do not select option of operation 64j (S77 is no) operator, process is back to S72 by control part 61.When operator have selected option of operation 64j (S77 is yes), process is transferred to the S38 shown in Figure 10 by control part 61.

Figure 13 and Figure 14 is the process flow diagram of the license that performed by the lathe 2 whether process of determination processing.Control part 31 determines whether to receive neighbouring selection information (S91).Near control part 31 has received during selection information (S91 is yes), the correct execute flag that behavior near behavior near expression first ~ six is all executed correctly by control part 31 resets (value is set to 0) (S92).After the process terminating S92, control part 31 performs neighbouring behavior process (with reference to Figure 16 ~ Figure 18) (S93) described later.The neighbouring behavior process of S93 carries out making operator perform the process of behavior near behavior near first ~ six, near operator correctly performs all six kinds during behavior, arranges correct execute flag (value is set to 1).After the process terminating S93, control part 31 determines whether to arrange correct execute flag (S94).When arranging correct execute flag (S94 is yes), control part 31 assert that operator is neighbouring operator.Control part 31 arranges and represents that operator is neighbouring mark (value is set to 1) (S95) of neighbouring operator, and resets distant place mark (value is set to 0) (S96) that expression operator is remote operation person.Near control part 31 sends to operating means 6, the operation of operation accepts information (S97), and process is back to S91.The control part 31 performing the process of S97 sends information portion as first of present embodiment and plays a role.Near control part 31 does not receive during selection information (S91 is no), control part 31 determines whether that receiving a distant place selects information (S111).When control part 31 has received distant place selection information (S111 is yes), control part 31 has assert that operator is remote operation person or the neighbouring operator for expecting to carry out remote operation.Process is transferred to S112 described later by control part 31.

As shown in figure 13, when correct execute flag is Reset Status (S94 is no), control part 31 assert that operator is remote operation person.Process is transferred to S112 by control part 31.Control part 31 resets neighbouring mark (S112), and arranges distant place mark (S113).The operation that control part 31 sends remote operation to operating means 6 accepts information (S114).The control part 31 performing the process of S114 sends information portion as second of present embodiment and plays a role.After the process terminating S114, process is back to S91 by control part 31.In S111 control part 31 do not receive a distant place select information time (S111 is no), control part 31 determines whether to arrange neighbouring mark (S115).Near arranging during mark (S115 is yes), control part 31 judges that the timing result of timer 33 is whether as more than the stipulated time (S116).When the timing result of timer 33 is more than the stipulated time (S116 is yes), control part 31 terminates the timing action of timer 33 and the timing result of timer 33 is reset (S117), and process is transferred to S112.The timing result of timer 33 refers to when being more than the stipulated time that utilizing operating means 6 to operate lathe 2 from neighbouring operator starts more than the stipulated time, also do not carry out next situation about operating.Therefore, neighbouring operator is regarded as remote operation by control device 3 again person, and the operation sending remote operation accepts information.Its result, neighbouring actions menu 641 is switched to remote operation menu 642 by operating means 6.That is, the operation that operating means 6 receives remote operation in the process of the S74 shown in Figure 12 accepts information, in the process of S75 by near actions menu 641 switch to remote operation menu 642.

In S115, near not arranging during mark (S115 is no) or when the timing result of timer 33 is less than the stipulated time (S116 is no), control part 31 determines whether to receive ending message (S118).When control part 31 has received ending message (S118 is yes), both neighbouring mark and distant place mark have been reset (S119) by control part 31.Terminate S119 process after or when not receiving ending message (S118 is no), process is transferred to S91 by control part 31.

Figure 15 is the process flow diagram representing the process that the operated from a distance performed by lathe 2 receives treatment.Operated from a distance receives treatment at least one in mark near being provided with and distant place mark, whether determination processing performs simultaneously with the license shown in Figure 13, Figure 14.Control part 31 determines whether to receive operation information (S131), when not receiving operation information (S131 is no), re-executes the process of S131.When control part 31 has received operation information (S131 is yes), control part 31 judge received operation information whether as near the operation information (S132) of operation.During the operation information operated near the operation information received by control part 31 is (S132 is yes), control part 31 determines whether to arrange neighbouring mark (S133).Near arranging during mark (S133 is yes), the timing result of timer 33 resets by control part 31, utilizes timer 33 to start to carry out timing (S134) to the elapsed time afterwards.

Terminate S134 process after or when the operation information received by control part 31 is the operation information of remote operation (S132 is no), control part 31 performs the process (" operational processes " in figure) (S135) carried out according to received operation information.When the operated from a distance accepted in S72 is such as (when operator have selected option of operation 64a) during operation to the program performed, in S135, send to operating means 6 job sequence that storage part 32 stores.Touch panel 64 by S35 process and show job sequence.Afterwards, operating means 6 carries out being sent to process such as lathe 2 grade to the amendment of job sequence and by amended job sequence under the operation of operator, and lathe 2 covers the job sequence (omitting diagram) stored in storage part 32 with the job sequence received.Neighbouring operator utilizes touch panel 64 to carry out modification and processing program, and amendment result is sent to lathe 2 (omitting diagram).When the operated from a distance accepted at S72 for anxious stop operation time (when operator have selected option of operation 64g), control part 31 performs the process of S135, quits work immediately in the same manner as when lathe 2 and operator operate emergency stop switch 52.Now, lathe 2 sends to operating means 6 and represents that performing anxious urgency of stopping stops information.Control part 61 stops information displaying by the process of S35 on touch panel 64 by anxious.When having accepted the operation to the cutter used, the operation of non-executive routine, not used cutter operation, test process operation or produce counting operation, lathe 2 and operating means 6 also can perform suitable process separately, and transmit suitable information between lathe 2 and operating means 6.As shown in figure 15, control part 31 determines whether to reset both neighbouring mark and distant place mark (S136).Near arranging mark and a distant place mark at least one time (S136 is no), neighbouring operation or remote operation be still in continue execution state, therefore, process is back to S131 by control part 31.When nearby both mark and distant place mark are reset (S136 is yes), the execution of operated from a distance application program terminates, and therefore, control part 31 terminates operated from a distance and receives treatment.Although the operation information that the operation information that control part 31 receives operates near being, when nearby mark is reset (S133 is no), then person operates near request to be remote operation.Therefore, control part 31 sends the error information (S137) representing wrong content to operating means 6, and process is transferred to S136.When operating means 6 receives error information in S34 (or S74), under the process of S35 (or S75), show the content that reports an error (omitting diagram) obtained according to the error information received.

Figure 16 ~ Figure 18 represent to be performed by lathe 2 near the process flow diagram of detailed content of behavior processing procedure.As shown in figure 16, control part 31 generates the behavioural information (S151) of behavior near first (answer identiflication number), and the behavioural information of generation is sent to operating means 6 (S152).Control part 31 determines whether to receive answer information (S153).When control part 31 does not receive answer information (S153 is no), control part 31 performs the process of S153 again.When control part 31 has received answer information (S153 is yes), control part 31 reads identiflication number (S154) from storage part 32, and judges whether correct (operator whether correctly perform first near behavior) (S155) of the answer shown in received answer information according to the identiflication number read.Near operator does not correctly perform first during behavior (S155 is no), control part 31 terminates neighbouring behavior process and process is back to whether to permit determination processing (S94 in Figure 13).Near operator correctly performs first during behavior (S155 is yes), control part 31 generates the behavioural information (S156) of behavior near second (answering the open and-shut mode of door 25), and the behavioural information of generation is sent to operating means 6 (S157).Control part 31 determines whether to receive answer information (S158).When control part 31 does not receive answer information (S158 is no), control part 31 performs the process of S158 again.When control part 31 has received answer information (S158 is yes), control part 31 obtains the testing result (S159) of opening and closing test section 26, and judges whether correct (operator whether correctly perform second near behavior) (S160) of the answer shown in received answer information according to the testing result obtained.Near operator does not correctly perform second during behavior (S160 is no), whether neighbouring behavior process is back to by control part 31 permits determination processing (with reference to Figure 13).Near operator correctly performs second during behavior (S160 is yes), control part 31 determines the LED42 that should light in multiple LED42 and lights the above-mentioned LED42 (S171) that should light.Control part 31 generates the behavioural information (S172) of behavior near the 3rd (relating to the answer of LED42), and the behavioural information of generation is sent to operating means 6 (S173).Control part 31 determines whether to receive answer information (S174).When control part 31 does not receive answer information (S174 is no), control part 31 performs the process of S174 again.In the process of S152, S157 or S173, spontaneous behavioural information of sending starts to have passed through the stipulated time, when being still judged as no in the process of S153, S158 or S174, control part 31 can terminate neighbouring behavior process and process be back to whether to permit determination processing (with reference to Figure 13).When control part 31 has received answer information (S174 is yes), control part 31 according to the LED42 lighted in S171 judge the answer shown in received answer information whether correct namely decision person whether correctly perform the 3rd near behavior (S175).Near operator does not correctly perform the 3rd during behavior (S175 is no), control part 31 terminates neighbouring behavior process and process is back to whether to permit

testing result obtaining opening and closing test section 26 and whether correctly opens or closes door 25 (such as first opened by buttoned-up door 25 and close) (S180).Constant or when only changing one time (S180 is no) at the open and-shut mode of door 25, control part 31 judges to start in S179 elapsed time that timing obtains whether as more than the stipulated time (S181).When the elapsed time is less than the stipulated time (S181 is no), process is back to S180 by control part 31.When the elapsed time is more than the stipulated time (S181 is yes), due to behavior near operator correctly execution the 4th, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S182) started in S179, and near terminating, whether behavior process and process being back to permits determination processing (with reference to Figure 13).At door 25 by during correctly opening and closing i.e. when the open and-shut mode of door 25 have sent twice change (S180 is yes), due to operator correctly perform the 4th near behavior, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S183) that starts in S179.Control part 31 generates the behavioural information (S191) of behavior near the 5th (rotary handle 53).The behavioural information generated in S191 is sent to operating means 6 (S192) by control part 31.Afterwards, control part 31 by the process performing ensuing S193 ~ S195 come decision person whether correctly perform the 5th near behavior.Control part 31 starts to carry out timing (S193) to institute's elapsed time from transmission this moment of behavioural information.Control part 31 by monitor the operational ton of handle 53 and direction of operating come decision person whether correctly operating grip 53 make this handle 53 rotate ormal weight (such as first rotate the amount of ten scales to the right, then rotate the amount of five scales to the left) (S194) to prescribed direction.When operator does not have rotary handle 53 or operator just to make this handle 53 rotate at operating grip 53 (S194 is no), control part 31 judges to start in S193 elapsed time that timing obtains whether as more than the stipulated time (S195).When the elapsed time is less than the stipulated time (S195 is no), process is back to S194 by control part 31.When the elapsed time is more than the stipulated time (S195 is yes), due to behavior near operator correctly execution the 5th, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S196) that starts in S193 and behavior process and process be back to and whether permit determination processing (with reference to Figure 13) near terminating.When operator correctly have rotated handle 53 (S194 is yes), due to operator correctly perform the 5th near behavior, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S197) started in S193.Control part 31 generates the behavioural information (S198) of behavior near the 6th (switching the open/close state of enable switch 54).The behavioural information generated in S198 is sent to operating means 6 (S199) by control part 31.Afterwards, control part 31 by the process performing ensuing S200 ~ S202 come decision person whether correctly perform the 6th near behavior.Control part 31 starts to carry out timing (S200) to institute's elapsed time from transmission this moment of behavioural information.Control part 31 monitors the operating conditions of enable switch 54, and whether decision person correctly operates enable switch 54 (such as first switching to open state from off status switches to off status again) (S201).When operator does not operate enable switch 54 or only operate an enable switch 54 (S201 is no), control part 31 judges to start in s 200 elapsed time that timing obtains whether as more than the stipulated time (S202).When the elapsed time is less than the stipulated time (S202 is no), process is back to S201 by control part 31.When the elapsed time is more than the stipulated time (S202 is yes), due to behavior near operator correctly execution the 6th, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S203) that starts in s 200 and terminates neighbouring behavior process and process be back to and whether permit determination processing (with reference to Figure 13).When operator correctly operates enable switch 54 (S201 is yes), due to operator correctly perform the 6th near behavior, therefore, control part 31 terminates the timing (S204) started in s 200, and arranges correct execute flag (S205).Control part 31 terminates neighbouring behavior process, and process is back to and whether permits determination processing (with reference to Figure 13).

The control part 31 performing each process of S152, S157, S173, S178, S192, S199 plays a role as the behavioural information sending part of present embodiment.The control part 31 performing each process of S155, S160, S175, S180, S194, S201 plays a role as the behavior detection unit of present embodiment.

As mentioned above, control device 3 can realize operator simultaneously and uses operating means 6 to carry out remote-operated convenience and the security when operated from a distance to lathe 2.Its reason is, when nearby operator uses operating means 6, control device 3 allows neighbouring operator to carry out neighbouring operation, and when operator uses operating means 6 in the distance, control device 3 allows remote operation person to carry out making a farfetched comparison the limited remote operation of near operation.

Control device 3 makes operator perform multiple neighbouring behavior, to judge to use the operator of operating means 6 to be neighbouring operator or remote operation person.Because each neighbouring behavior is the behavior performing comparatively difficulty concerning remote operation person, therefore, remote operation person correctly performs the possibility of all neighbouring behaviors, namely thinks remote operation person by mistake the possibility of neighbouring operator lower.Therefore, remote operation person cannot carry out the operated from a distance along with danger.

Control device 3 will should use the operator of operating means 6 person that regards as remote operation near the lathe 2 beyond remote-operated lathe 2, and is presented on touch panel 64 by remote operation menu 642.When the touch panel that operator uses 64 be near lathe 2 demonstrates remote operation menu 642, operator can know that lay oneself open to should near the lathe 2 beyond remote-operated lathe 2.That is, whether the lathe 2 that can confirm with control device 3 side these two aspects in operator side to operate desired by operator is same lathe with the lathe 2 carrying out with operating means 6 communicating.

The hardware of lathe 2 forms identical with lathe in the past, and operating means 6 uses the multi-purpose computer that market is peddled.That is, when can add new hardware in the multi-purpose computer do not peddled on lathe 2 or market, judge that whether the arbitrary neighbouring behavior that whether arbitrary neighbouring behavior has been performed or operator has performed that person to be operated performs is correct.

Operated from a distance application storage in the storage part 62 of operating means 6, but also can be stored in the storage part 32 of control device 3.In this case, when start-up operation device 6, operating means 6 is completed this information of startup by startup application program and be sent to lathe 2, send operated from a distance application program from lathe 2 to operating means 6 afterwards.

And in the present embodiment, operating means 6 judges whether to comprise problem output information in the behavioural information received in S51 and answer accepts information, and according to this judgement, control is divided into two parts.The information displaying that self-control device 3 also can receive by operating means 6 is on menu.In this case, do not need the process of S51, the S55 carried out in Figure 11, the process of S52 only becomes the process of behavior menu near display.And, when being judged to not answer input in S53 (S53 is no), process is transferred to the process of S56.In the process of S52 display near behavior menu 643 or show near behavior menu 644.The switch operating of this display menu is performed by control device 3.And the operation of operation accepts information near determining whether in S58, but, also can not need to carry out this judgement.S58 can carry out operated from a distance menu Graphics Processing, and shows the menu information sent by control device 3, replaces above-mentioned judgement.The menu information sent by control device 3 can be the arbitrary menu in neighbouring actions menu 641 and remote operation menu 642.After the process carrying out this S58, control part 61 will process the S32 be transferred in Figure 10.In this case, the process of the S71 ~ S77 in the process of the S31 carried out in Figure 10 and Figure 12 is not needed.
