A computer in a remote place can grasp the control state in which a plurality of processing machines installed in the machine are operating.

[0003]

However, regarding the operation record of the processing machine, the total cost of parts, the individual operation record of the worker, and the total stop time of the processing machine, the conventional processing machine information collecting system is used. Had to be calculated individually, and it was difficult to use it in real time during daily work.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to execute the operation record of the processing machine, the total cost of parts, the individual operation record of the worker, and the total stop time of the processing machine in the processing machine information collecting system.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, the first structure of the present invention is to be connected to a numerically controlled processing machine and for each processing operation, a processing machine number, an operator code, and a processed part. A setter that stores processing management information including a code, a processing quantity, and a stop code, and a computer that collects the control status information of the processing machine output from the setting machine and the processing management information and outputs the processing management information. Is equipped with.

In a second configuration, the computer measures the processing time of the processing work and the stop time of the processing machine for interrupting the processing work, and performs the net processing for each of the processing machine number, operator code or processing part code. The processing machine information is output by calculating the net stop time for each time or stop code.

[0007]

In the processing machine information gathering system having the above-mentioned first configuration, the operator selects the processing machine number, the operator code, the processing part code, the processing quantity and the stop code for each processing operation by the numerically controlled processing machine. The following processing management information is stored in the setting device, and the control status information of the plurality of processing machines in the factory and the processing management information output to the computer can be collectively collected and output as processing machine information.

In the second configuration, the computer measures the processing time required for the processing operation and the stop time of the processing machine for interrupting the processing operation to calculate the net processing time or the net stop time, and the processing machine. The processing machine information can be output by calculating the net processing time for each number, the operator code or the processed part code or the net stop time for each stop code.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A processing machine information collecting system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a processing machine information collecting system according to the present invention. The setters 12a, 12b, ... 12x are connected to the plurality of machine tools 10a, 10b ,. 14 is a repeater connected to each of the setting devices 12a, 12b, ... 12x, and the data of all the setting devices in the factory are transferred from the serial communication data to the data memory in the sequencer to be transmitted to the computer at the remote place. Write, convert, and send with optical fiber NET wiring. At the same time, a key switch arranged on the setter communicates with the sequencer using a DI / O signal to assist in transmitting the setter data signal. A data collection computer 16 stores the transmitted data in a hard disk and outputs it to a floppy disk. Then, the data editing computer 18 reads the data from the floppy disk, totalizes and edits the data, and then outputs the data to the form 20.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the setting device. When the power is turned on, an initial screen is displayed on the screen of the setting device 12a (S1). In this initial screen display, it is possible to select an input setting work for storing the processing management information in the setting device, a data transfer work for transferring the data to the data collecting computer 16 to start the processing machine, and a setup work.
When the input setting work is selected (S2), the operator code (S4), the processed part code (S5), the processing quantity (S6) and the stop code (S7) of the processing management information are input in the setting function selection (S3). it can. At this time, in order to facilitate input, it is possible to select from a list of codes, the operator code is from the touch panel switch on the setter screen (S8), and the processed part code is from the alphanumeric key operation on the setter. (S9), the quantity to be processed is determined by operating the numeric keys (S1
0) and the stop code are respectively input and registered from the touch panel switch (S11) (S12).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the setter after the initial setting until the machining work is stopped. After the initialized data is transferred to the setter, the machine is started and the state of the machine is fed back to the setter. Is received (S2) and displayed on the screen of the setting device (S3). Then, if there is no notification of the alarm information for notifying the abnormality (S4) and the setup or the like is not completed, step S2 is repeated. When the setup and the like are completed (S5) and the waiting time has elapsed (S6), the setting device screen displays a stop information screen (S9), and an alarm is issued by a blinking light and a buzzer (S10). When the screen switching "to stop code" is input (S11), a list of stop codes is displayed (S12). When the stop code is selected and input (S13), the initial screen display is restored (S15). ). In addition, the stop information screen shows that the engine has started after the waiting time has elapsed (S8).
The loss time until the vehicle is stopped by inputting the stop code (S14) is sequentially displayed. Next, during work such as setup (S2
~ S5) When there is notification of alarm information indicating an abnormality of the processing machine (S4), a timer for measuring the abnormal stop time is started (S8), and the stop information screen is displayed on the setting device screen (S9). The operator issues an alarm with a blinking light and a buzzer until the operator confirms the cause of the stop and recovers (S10).

The processing management information including the processing machine number, the operator code, the processing part code, the processing quantity and the stop code accumulated by the work such as the setup is stored in the data collecting computer 16. The data can be appropriately output to a floppy disk and edited by the data editing computer 18. With this editing, the processing time required for the processing work and the stop time of the processing machine that interrupts the processing work are measured to calculate the net processing time or the net stop time, and the processing machine number, operator code or processed part code The net processing time for each machine or the net stop time for each stop code is calculated, and the operation status of the processing machine is tabulated in FIG. 4A, the work total for each worker in FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4C.
It is possible to output the processing status of the processing machine for each component type, the reason for the stop in the order of the stop time in FIG. 4D, and the processing machine information of the actual stop time.

[0013]

According to the processing machine information collecting system of the present invention, the operation record of the processing machine, the total cost of the parts, the individual work record of the worker, and the total stop time of the processing machine can be calculated in the daily work. Since it can be used in real time, it is possible to swiftly process the finish status of machined parts, the allocation of workers, the analysis of the reason for stopping the machine, and the like.
