Structure drives controlling organization 20D (Fig. 1) by contact thus,

collision block

10,11 is positioned at assigned position, for example the position X as left and right directions (X-direction) therein ₁, X ₂Centre position X=(X ₁+ X ₂The workpiece position location X of)/2 drives controlling organization 20E by floor push floor push 2 is positioned (Fig. 5-Fig. 8).

To be arranged on the place ahead, lower end of above-mentioned bottom workbench 13 (Fig. 1) with can move freely on left and right directions as the above-mentioned floor push 2 of slide block starting device.

Such as everyone knows, keeping in this floor push 2 rises with pedal 2A and descend use pedal 2B, by foot-operated these pedals 2A of operator S and 2B, as sliding upper stages 12 certainly move up and down (Figure 10).

Above-mentioned floor push 2 (Fig. 1) has installing component 3, roller 19 is installed in free to rotately on four jiaos of rectangular-shaped vertical panel 3A (Fig. 3, Fig. 4) of this installing component 3, each roller 19 is respectively slidably on the upper and lower in conjunction with the guide 5 that is arranged on the machine body side and extends along left and right directions.

And, driving wheel 6 and driven pulley 7 are installed in free to rotately the two ends of above-mentioned guide 5 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).This driving wheel 6 is by the motor M rotating drive of adjoining setting with it.

To be with 4 to be wound on above-mentioned driving wheel 6 and the driven pulley 7 synchronously, be fixed with respect to the outstanding level board 3B (Fig. 3 and 4) in rear (Y direction) with 4 top synchronously at the above-mentioned installing component 3 of floor push 2 sides.

Structure thus, if driving wheel 6 is carried out rotating drive by motor M (Fig. 1), then this rotational motion is by being with 4 to be transformed to rectilinear motion and to be sent to floor push 2 synchronously, and floor push 2 is moved location (Fig. 5-8) in the place ahead of above-mentioned workpiece position location X.

Thus, as mentioned above, according to the present invention, make floor push be free to travel to the place ahead as the actual flexion Working position of above-mentioned workpiece position location X, thus for the operator S that operates in the place ahead of this bending machining position, become near with the distance of floor push 2, thereby can improve operating efficiency.

In addition, as the slide block starter mechanism, replace above-mentioned floor push 2, also can setting operation person S by the bimanualness device of bimanualness, and, in the travel mechanism of above-mentioned slide block starter mechanism (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), replace above-mentioned synchronous band mechanism, ball screw framework or fluid cylinder formula mechanism also can be set.

At this moment, above-mentioned floor push 2 is moved the place ahead that navigates to workpiece position location X as mentioned above (Fig. 5-Fig. 8), this workpiece position location X is exactly the position location X at the left and right directions (X-direction) of

collision block

10,11 ₁, X ₂Centre position X=(X ₁+ X ₂)/2.

Thereby, determine the position X of left and right directions (X-direction) of the

collision block

10,11 of workpiece position location X ₁, X ₂According to the shape of workpiece W, certain limit of workpiece W is contacted and is determined with this

collision block

10,11.

Fig. 5 shows from contacting viewpoint with workpiece W easily, will be arranged on

collision block

10,11 sides apart from the near limit a of sweep m, simultaneously not to ledge W ₁Carry out agley with this part W ₁Be arranged on than processing stations (position of the mould D) side that keeps left state, limit a is contacted with

collision block

10,11.

Fig. 6 and 7 makes an edge joint of the either direction of

collision block

10,11 and workpiece W fore-and-aft direction (Y direction) touch occasion.

Wherein, Fig. 6 (A) has the limit b of equal length (X-direction), the situation of c at fore-and-aft direction (Y direction), and make apart from sweep m near limit b with

collision block

10,11 to contact from contacting viewpoint with workpiece W easily this moment.

Fig. 6 (B) is at the very short limit e of the side existence of fore-and-aft direction (Y direction), this limit e is contacted with two

collision blocks

10,11, thereby can not position occasion to workpiece W, under this occasion, another long limit d is contacted with

collision block

10,11.

There is hypotenuse g in the side that Fig. 6 (C) is presented at fore-and-aft direction (Y direction), even this hypotenuse g contacts with two collision blocks 10,11, still there is unstable situation in the location of workpiece W, and make the opposing party's horizontal sides f contact with

collision block

10,11 this moment.

Fig. 7 is at the last limit h that exists apart from the nearly side of sweep m of a side of fore-and-aft direction (Y direction), but is provided with flange F on this avris h ₁, F ₂, thereby limit h is very difficult to contact with

collision block

10,11, thereby, exist to be difficult to occasion that workpiece W is positioned.Under this occasion, because in the opposing party's the limit, a short limit k (figure below among Fig. 7) can not contact with two collision blocks 10,11, long limit j contacts with

collision block

10,11.

Fig. 8 be

10,11 with the last limit that can contact more than two of workpiece W left and right directions (X-direction) in arbitrary the occasion that edge joint touches.

Wherein, Fig. 8 (A) is in the near limit p of distance sweep m and its dual-side q, r, if contact with limit p then control the fluctuation of service occasion of operator's side of workpiece W, under this occasion, dual-side q, the r of both sides is contacted with

collision block

10,11.

Fig. 8 (B) contacts difficulty at the near limit v of distance sweep m with

collision block

10,11, (Fig. 6 (C)) as mentioned above, because the location instability of workpiece W, though desire and contact with u, but when contacting, owing to the repeating part of

collision block

10,11 after contacting and sweep m is few with limit u apart from curve m limit s far away, thereby, there is the unstable occasion of operation equally in work in-process, and under this occasion, limit s contacts with

collision block

10,11.

On (Fig. 1) both sides, lower end of above-mentioned bottom workbench 13, be provided with forwards outstanding bracket 21,22.Light-emitting component 8 is arranged in the bracket 21, and photo detector 9 is installed in another bracket 22.Light L leads to light from light-emitting component 8 to photo detector 9.In addition, the two ends that prevent to enter the cross bar 23 (Fig. 2) of usefulness are installed in the above-mentioned

bracket

21,22.

Structure thus, under the occasion in foreign matters such as the pin that comprises operator S, hand enter into the moving area R of above-mentioned floor push 2, interdicted, detected entering of this foreign matter by above-mentioned light L, floor push 2 does not move, even and the floor push 2 after moving also promptly stop.

This light L (Fig. 3) spreads all over the irradiation of floor push 2 ground, in case even for example operator's pin enters in the above-mentioned moving area R a little, by shading, can detect foreign matter.

Just above-mentioned light-emitting component 8 and photo detector 9 constitute area sensor, in general, become foreign matter testing agency as mentioned above.

Detect form as concrete foreign matter, exist floor push 2 to begin to move before and floor push 2 begin to move back two kinds of forms.

For example, by shading, thereby detect foreign matter and enter in the moving area R during operator S tramples pedal 2A, the 2B of floor push 2 for slide block 12 (Fig. 1) is moved up and down, floor push 2 does not move.

In addition, even floor push 2 begins to move, enter in the moving area R under the occasion at the pin of operator S etc., when workpiece W or instrument etc. entered, owing to by shading, detect foreign matter to enter in the moving area R, floor push 2 stopped it and moves.

Thus, as mentioned above, according to the present invention, when having the foreign matter of a part that comprises operator's health in the floor push moving area, floor push does not move, and, even floor push moves, in the time of in foreign matter enters moving area, detect this kind situation, by promptly stopping, can guaranteeing operator's safety.

At this moment, action form as area sensor, in case shading then open, if not shading then close, area sensor open period (step 105 among Figure 11 is NO), floor push 2 does not move, and area sensor becomes closes (step 105 among Figure 11 is YES), and floor push 2 begins to move (step 106 among Figure 11).

; floor push 2 begins to move back (step 106 among Figure 11); before it arrives above-mentioned workpiece position location X (step 107 among Figure 11 is NO); continue to monitor by area sensor whether foreign matter enters in the moving area R of floor push 2 (step 113 among Figure 11); in case foreign matter enters; area sensor becomes unlatching (step 113 is NO among Figure 11), and this floor push 2 promptly stops (step 114 among Figure 11).

Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, for example the present value with floor push 2 is X ₀In case, be above-mentioned workpiece position location X with desired value, then floor push 2 is from present value X ₀To desired value X execution following actions.

At this moment, as the mobile beginning condition of floor push 2, as shown in figure 10, except the above-mentioned zone sensor be in close, floor push 2 is closed, and upper stages 12 is at assigned position, in mobile beginning period as this floor push 2, there are various occasions.

For example upper stages 12 descend finish predetermined stroke after the (t of Figure 10 (B) ₁-t ₄), when bending machining finishes the (t of Figure 10 (B) ₅), if becoming, floor push 2 and area sensor close, then instantaneously can begin moving of floor push 2.

And upper stages 12 descend finish predetermined stroke after the (t of Figure 10 (A) ₁-t ₄), when bending machining finishes the (t of Figure 10 (A) ₅), floor push 2 does not begin to move, (the t of Figure 10 (A) when upper stages 12 involution top dead-centres ₆), if becoming, floor push 2 and area sensor close, then can begin moving of floor push 2.

And, (the t of Figure 10 (C) after predetermined stroke is finished in upper stages 12 declines ₁-t ₄), (t of Figure 10 (C) when bending machining finishes ₅), floor push 2 does not begin to move.Near before arriving near top dead-centre after these upper stages 12 process certain time interval T the time (t of Figure 10 (A) ₆), if becoming, floor push 2 and area sensor close, then can begin moving of floor push 2.

By the mobile beginning condition of above-mentioned floor push 2, this floor push 2 (Fig. 9) as mentioned above, from present value X ₀Begin to move (Fig. 9 (A)), but as long as area sensor is closed (Fig. 9 (B)), then be used as and do not find that foreign matter enters, continue to move (YES → step 106 of the NO → step 113 of the step 106 of Figure 11 → step 107) to workpiece position location X as desired value.

But for example in the workpiece W (Fig. 9 (C)) that operator S (Fig. 2) is controlled enters the moving area of floor push 2 and interdict light L, photo detector 9 can not be subjected to the light time, and area sensor is opened, and being used as has foreign matter to enter, and makes floor push 2 at for example position X ₀₁Promptly stop (NO → step 114 of the NO → step 113 of the step 106 of Figure 11 → step 107).

Then, when operator S finds that foreign matter enters, import workpiece W, photo detector 9 is subjected to light light L once more, then area sensor is closed (Fig. 9 (D)), and the floor push 2 after promptly stopping to begin to move (YES → step 106 of the step 114 of Figure 11 → step 105) once more.

And, thereafter, be limited to area sensor and close (Fig. 9 (E)), floor push 2 continues to move (YES → step 106 of the NO → step 113 of the step 107 of Figure 11), when arriving workpiece position location X, this floor push 2 stops (YES → step 108 of the step 107 of Figure 11).

NC device 20 (Fig. 1) with bullodozer of this structure determines that by CPU20A, input/output mechanism 20B, machining information the 20C of mechanism, contact drive controlling organization 20D, floor push drives controlling organization 20E, area sensor driving controlling organization 20F and slide block driving controlling organization 20G constitutes.

CPU24A determines that to machining information the 20C of mechanism, contact drive device integral body shown in Figure 1 such as controlling organization 20D, floor push driving controlling organization 20E and control according to being used to implement sequence of movement of the present invention (for example being equivalent to Figure 11).

Input/output mechanism 20B for example is an operation board, is made of output mechanisms such as input mechanisms such as keyboard, mouse and pictures, uses it according to automatic or manual, can import (steps 101 among Figure 11) such as product informations, can confirm input results by picture.

Product information under this occasion for example is CAD (CAD) information, comprises the information such as angle of bend, flange dimension of length, the goods of thickness of slab, material, the sweep of workpiece W, and these are as stereogram, expanded view and constitute.

Machining information is determined the 20C of mechanism according to the product information of being imported by above-mentioned input/output mechanism 20B, determines that bending sequence, mould P, D, mould arrange the position location of (processing stations),

collision block

10,11, workpiece position location, other D value, L value etc.

Wherein, the position location of above-mentioned collision block 10, the 11 position X of left and right directions (X-direction) for example ₁, X ₂Whether (Fig. 5-8) according to the shape of workpiece W as mentioned above, contacted with

collision block

10,11 and determined by certain limit of this workpiece W.

So, the position X of the

collision block

10,11 of Que Dinging thus ₁, X ₂Centre position X=(X ₁+ X ₂)/2 (for example Fig. 5) are exactly workpiece position location X, and above-mentioned floor push 2 is moved to the place ahead of this workpiece position location X.

(2)-C moves the beginning condition when satisfying action.

(2)-C-1 has or not foreign matter to enter judgement in the moving area R of floor push 2.

When just CPU20A (Fig. 1) satisfies mobile beginning condition in above-mentioned upper stages 12, floor push 2, area sensor (step 103 of Figure 11,104,105 all is YES), make floor push 2 move (step 106 of Figure 11), but before this floor push 2 moves to workpiece position location X (step 107 of Figure 11 is NO), by area sensor, judge whether that foreign matter enters the moving area R interior (step 113 among Figure 11) of floor push 2.

(2)-action when C-2 has foreign matter to enter.

Just, if CPU20A (Fig. 1) judges that by area sensor the result's (step 113 of Figure 11) whether foreign matter enters in the moving area R of floor push 2 comes the light L of self-emission device 8 (Fig. 1) by shading, if area sensor is not closed (step 113 of Figure 11 is NO), then area sensor is opened, being used as foreign matter enters, make floor push 2 promptly stop (step 114 among Figure 11), judge once more whether area sensor closes (step 105 among Figure 11).

And, if area sensor is closed (step 105 among Figure 11 is YES), come the light L of self-emission device 8 (Fig. 1) to receive by photo detector 9, then make the above-mentioned floor push that promptly stops 2 beginning to move (step 106 among Figure 11) once more, when floor push 2 arrives the workpiece position location X of regulation (step 107 among Figure 11 is YES), floor push 2 is stopped then.(step 108 among Figure 11).

Specifically, the occasion of for example above-mentioned Fig. 9 (A) → Fig. 9 (B) → Fig. 9 (C) → Fig. 9 (D) → Fig. 9 (E).

(2)-C-3 do not have foreign matter to enter the action of occasion.

Opposite with above-mentioned (2)-C-2, CPU20A (Fig. 1) judges that by area sensor the result's (step 113 of Figure 11) whether foreign matter enters in the moving area R of floor push 2 comes the light L of self-emission device 8 (Fig. 1) to be subjected to light by photo detector 9, area sensor is closed (step 113 of Figure 11 is YES), then regarding as does not have foreign matter to enter, make floor push 2 continue to move (step 106 among Figure 11), when floor push 2 arrives the workpiece position location X of regulation (step 107 among Figure 11 is YES), floor push 2 is stopped then.(step 108 among Figure 11).

Specifically, under the occasion of above-mentioned Fig. 9 (A) → Fig. 9 (B) → Fig. 9 (E), floor push 2 is from present value X ₀Begin to move, until arriving desired value X.There is not foreign matter to enter in the moving area R of this floor push 2.

(3) bending machining action.

In the step 108 of above-mentioned Figure 11, in case floor push 2 stops, then operator S (for example Fig. 5) stand in floor push 2 the place aheads after stopping, workpiece W contacted with

collision block

10,11 and after positioning, trampling descends uses pedal 2B (Fig. 1), floor push 2 to become opening (step 109 among Figure 11 is YES).The CPU20A (Fig. 1) that detects this kind situation drives controlling organization 20G by slide block makes oil

hydraulic cylinder

14 and 15 actions, make slide block 12 declines (step 110 among Figure 11), when having finished predetermined stroke (step 111 of Figure 11 is YES), judge whether processing finishes (step 112 of Figure 11).

For example CPU20A (Fig. 1) only bending sequence (1) (Figure 11) in, conclude the release of step 103-step 112 of above-mentioned Figure 11 after, for next bending sequence (2), return step 103, back and forth carry out identical action.

In case so, in bending sequence (2), (3), (4), implement the action of above-mentioned steps 103-step 112 in order, finish everything (END of Figure 11).

Figure 12-15 shows other embodiment of the present invention, and demonstration will be in above-mentioned Fig. 1-11, the position that makes the floor push 2 that moves to X the place ahead, workpiece position location and the situation of change crooked by examination.

In the prior art just, in the substep bending machining, at 1 workpiece as processing object, sweep has the situation that is present in workpiece left and right directions end, even this moment, floor push was when move in the place ahead of the place ahead of processing stations or workpiece rear end central point, the distance increase of actual Working position (end of workpiece left and right directions) and floor push.

Thereby the operator is very difficult to implementation and operation, and operating efficiency is obviously low, Given this plants situation, in above-mentioned Fig. 1-11, at each bending sequence, floor push 2 is moved to the place ahead as the workpiece position location X (for example Fig. 8) of actual Working position.

Thus, the distance of actual Working position and floor push 2 is very little, the operator at actual Working position after workpiece is positioned, by trampling floor push 2, make slide block 12 startings, can process workpiece, the operator can operate very expediently, has improved operating efficiency.

But, when considering operator's custom when (righthanded or left hand etc.), as mentioned above, in case make floor push 2 move to the place ahead of the workpiece position location X (for example Fig. 8) that automatically sets, inefficient operation on the contrary, for mirror operation person's custom, be necessary the desired value X of above-mentioned automatic setting is changed.

In Figure 12, bender 1 has the structure identical with Fig. 1, for example be the descending manner bullodozer, NC device 30 is made of input part 30B, storage part 30C, bending sequence determination portion 30D, mould determination portion 30E, contact position determination portion 30F, slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G.

Wherein, input part 30B for example is an operation board, use this operation board 30B can be equally with the product information input, be provided with effective button 31 of aftermentioned handle and start button 32 (Figure 14,15 step 201, step 202) respectively.

According to the product information of being imported by input part 30B (Figure 12),, determine that by mould determination portion 30E employed mould, mould are arranged in each bending sequence by the bending sequence that bending sequence determination portion 30D determines workpiece W.

Arrange that according to above-mentioned bending sequence, mould, mould contact position determination portion 30F determines

collision block

10,11 left and right directions position X ₁, X ₂(desired value).

Again, according to position X by the

determined collision block

10,11 of above-mentioned contact position determination portion 30F ₁, X ₂, slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G determines for example left and right directions position X (desired value) of floor push of above-mentioned slide block starter mechanism 2 in the collision block width A of more than one

collision block

10,11, B zone.

At this moment, the

collision block

10,11 that is arranged on the rear material stopping device at bottom workbench 13 rears generally is a plurality of, and wherein, the quantity of employed collision block is difference by workpiece W shape.

For example shown in Figure 13 (A), the contact site of workpiece W is during than the narrow flange F of 1 collision block 10 width, in the zone of the collision block width A of this 1 collision block 10, above-mentioned slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G is defined as the roughly centre position X of this collision block width A the left and right directions position X (desired value) of floor push 2.

And for example shown in Figure 13 (B), the contact site of workpiece W is long, when contacting with two collision blocks 10,11, in the contact width B scope of the distance till from 1 collision block 10 left end to another collision block 11 right-hand members, above-mentioned slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G is defined as floor push 2 left and right directions position X (desired value) with the roughly centre position X of this contact width B.

Therefore as mentioned below, in fact make position X ' that floor push 2 opens (step 207 among Figure 15 is YES) not simultaneously at these desired values X and operator S, from improving the operating efficiency viewpoint, make desired value become X ' from X, simultaneously this X ' is stored in (Figure 12) among the storage part 30C, in this bending operation, use this desired value X '.

Hereinafter with reference Figure 15 describes the action of the present invention with said structure.

At this moment, by above-mentioned contact position determination portion 30F (Figure 12) and slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G, pre-determine the desired value X of

collision block

10,11 ₁, X ₂And the desired value X of floor push 2.

(1) operator S (Figure 12) makes pedal 6 move to the position of easy unlatching, to location action before.

In the step 201 of Figure 15, push the effective button 31 of handle, push start button 32 in step 202, in step 203,

collision block

10,11 and floor push 2 are moved and locate to desired value, in step 204, make floor push 2 move, locate to easy enable possition.

In case just operator S (Figure 12) pushes the effective button 31 of handle, then it is bright by lamp, switches to based on the crooked modification model of examination of the present invention, then, in case push start button 32, the CPU30A that detects this kind information is positioned at X as originally desired value with

collision block

10,11 ₁, X ₂, simultaneously floor push 2 is positioned at desired value X originally.

At this moment, the effective button 31 of the above-mentioned handle of lighting is in blink states, can try bending, and slide block 12 (Fig. 1) is in (closing motion) state of can working.

So operator S (Figure 12) makes the floor push 2 that moves to the above-mentioned X of desired value originally add easy unlatching in man-hour and just move to and trample position X ' easily actual, is located on the X ' of this position.

For example, operator S pushes aside with hand or pin on one side and steps on switch 2, on one side or make hand pulser 34 (Figure 14) rotation, Yi Bian make this floor push 2 (Figure 12) move to the position X ' that tramples easily, and it positions.

(2) setting of fresh target value X ' action.

In the step 205 of Figure 15, W contacts with workpiece, in step 206, opens floor push 2, and slide block 12 is descended.In step 207,, X ' is stored if desired value X originally and position X ' different (YES) that floor push 2 is opened then in step 208, change to X ' with desired value from originally X.If desired value X originally and the position X ' identical (NO) that floor push 2 is opened then enter step 209.

Just operator S (Figure 12) moves on the position of trampling easily floor push 2 as mentioned above when reality descends, and after this positions, makes workpiece W and is positioned at desired value X ₁, X ₂Collision block 10,11 contact.The decline that detects floor push 2 with pedal 2B by the CPU30A after trampling by slide block 12 (Fig. 1) is descended, this workpiece is carried out bending machining.

At this moment, by lighting the effective button 31 of above-mentioned handle, finish the duty (closing motion) of slide block 12.

And not simultaneously at the position X ' that tramples this floor push 2 and desired value X originally, CPU30A should be in output during from the start signal G of this floor push 2, by slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G, desired value is changed to X ' from originally X, and this X ' is stored in the storage part 30C.

In this bending operation, slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G is used as new desired value with the X ' that is stored then.

Then, trample the rising pedal 2A of floor push 2, slide block 12 (Fig. 1) is risen (step 209 among Figure 15), under not finishing the crooked occasion of examination (step 210 among Figure 15 is NO), return step 202, back and forth carry out identical operations by operator S.

In case so, then at each bending sequence 1 (Figure 14), 2 ... in, the result of change desired value represents as floor push position X on the picture of operation board 30B ₁', X ₂' ..., carry out the operator who lacks experience under the occasion of identical processing, by reflecting this change result, can further improve operating efficiency.

In addition, as mentioned above, when being stored in new desired value X ' in the storage part 30C, when the start signal G from floor push 2 is output,, for example need not the loaded down with trivial details action that the operator pushes store button owing to stored automatically, on this aspect, can improve operating efficiency.

Figure 16 shows other embodiment of the present invention, is manually to set pattern (teach mode) by the operator, and control device uses the NC device 30 of Figure 12.

This moment, the operator was according to product information,

determined bending sequence

1,2,3,4; The mould P of each bending

sequence

1,2,3,4 ₁And D ₁, P ₂And D ₂, P ₃And D ₃, P ₄And D ₄(Figure 16); Mould is arranged a, b, c, d; After D value, the L value etc.,, determine the position (step 301 among Figure 18) of

collision block

10,11 left and right directions by above-mentioned contact position determination portion 30F.

Should determine the result as shown in figure 17 then, on the picture of operation board 30B, be expressed, the operator watches fluorescent screen on one side, push floor push 2 (Figure 16) aside by hand or pin on one side, or hand pulser 34 (Figure 14) is rotated, make floor push 2 move (Figure 16), and be located on this position (step 302 among Figure 18) to assigned position.

Then, be arranged on set positions button 33 on the operation board 30B (Figure 12), detect the shift position of above-mentioned floor push 2, and it is stored (step 303 of Figure 18 → step 304) by operator presses.

The CPU30A that just detects after set positions button 33 (Figure 12) has been pressed passes through slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G, amount of spin according to the encoder E of the motor M of (Figure 16) driving mechanism that constitutes this floor push 2, detect the shift position of above-mentioned floor push 2, and its shift position is stored in the storage part 30C (Figure 12).

At this moment, the position (desired value) of the determined floor push 2 of above-mentioned slide block starter mechanism position determination portion 30G is positioned at the collision block 10 (being equivalent to Figure 13) more than 1,11 collision block width A, B scope in general as mentioned above.

The operator is not manually having (step 305 is NO) between tailend, back and forth implement this action (step 302 of Figure 18 → step 304) at each bending sequence, manually finishing back (step 305 is YES), final definite result is as shown in figure 17 as the position X of floor push ₁', X ₂' ..., on the picture of operation board 30B, represent.
