  As shown in FIG. 1, a monitoring system 1 for a shaft enlargement processing machine according to the present invention includes a shaft enlargement processing machine 11 and a monitoring device 12. The shaft enlargement processing machine 11 has a pair of a pressure side holder 2 and a bending side holder 3. These holders 2 and 3 hold both ends of a workpiece 4 made of metal, plastic, and rod. Specifically, each of the holders 2 and 3 has a substantially cylindrical spindle 5. A sleeve 6 is mounted in the spindle 5 via a sleeve collar (not shown). The workpiece 4 is held on the sleeve 6 with the reference line A aligned with the axis. A base end portion, which is an end portion opposite to the side where the spindles 5 face each other, is covered with a cover 7.

  A pressure unit 8 is connected to the pressure side holder 2. The pressurizing unit 8 is for pressurizing the pressurizing side holder 2 along the reference line A toward the bending side holder 3. A rotating unit 9 and a tilting unit 10 are connected to the bending side holder 3. The rotation unit 9 is for rotating the bending side holder 3 and the pressure side holder 2 around the reference line A (around the axis of the workpiece 4). The tilting unit 10 is for tilting the bending side holder 3 in a direction intersecting the reference line A.

  The shaft enlargement processing machine 11 having such a structure pressurizes the workpiece 4 in the direction of contraction along the axis (reference line A), and applies energy in a direction intersecting the axis while rotating the workpiece 4. It enlarges the arbitrary part of 4. The procedure for forming the enlarged portion on the workpiece 4 will be described in detail. Both ends of the workpiece 4 are held by the pressure side holder 2 and the bending side holder 3. At this time, the workpiece 4 is held in a state where a portion to be enlarged is exposed. That is, the pressing side holder 2 and the bending side holder 3 are arranged to face each other along the reference line A, and hold the workpiece 4 with a predetermined separation distance. Information on the held workpiece 4 is acquired by the workpiece information processing unit 13.

  And the pressurization unit 8 is operated and the pressurization side holder 2 is pressurized toward the bending side holder 3 (arrow P direction). Thereby, the workpiece 4 is compressed in the axial direction. Then, the bending unit 3 is rotated around the reference line A by the rotating unit 9 (in the direction of arrow R). Although not shown, the pressure side holder 2 is also rotated around the reference line A. Simultaneously with this rotation, the bending side holder 3 is tilted in the direction intersecting the reference line A by the tilting unit 10 (arrow L direction). Thereby, an enlarged portion is formed on the workpiece 4. In addition, since the action by the tilting unit 10 is sufficient if energy is applied to the workpiece 4 in the direction intersecting the axis, the bending side holder 3 is swung, or alternately twisted, or has alternating impact torque. You may use what you add.

  On the other hand, a monitoring device 12 is connected to the shaft enlargement processing machine 11 via an electric communication line 14.

The matters monitored by the engineer at this time are the material, total length, diameter, and shape of the workpiece 4 as the first processing conditions of the workpiece 4, and the pressurizing force by the pressurizing unit 8 and the rotation unit 9 as the second processing conditions. Rotation speed, bending angle by the tilting unit 10, and the like. Note that the monitoring device 12 does not have to be connected to all of the pressurizing unit 8, the rotating unit 9, and the tilting unit 10 through the electric communication line 14, and may be connected to at least one according to information to be monitored. . That is, when the monitoring device 12 is connected to the pressurizing unit 8 and the electric communication line 14, the monitoring device 12 has the pressurizing unit monitoring means 16, and when connected to the rotating unit 9, the monitoring device 12 rotates. When the unit monitoring means 17 is connected to the tilting unit 10, the tilting unit monitoring means 18 is provided.
