Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators find it difficult to intuitively set and visualize the motion of a slide in conventional servo press machines, leading to potential misalignment between intended and actual motion settings.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a tabular interface is used for setting slide motion with numerical values, then the setting process can be completed, but the operator cannot intuitively image the slide motion produced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a visual copy of the slide motion trajectory on the display unit, showing the actual path and speed profile that will be executed. This graphical representation allows operators to intuitively understand the motion before executing it, resolving the contradiction between completing the setting process and visualizing the motion.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the one-dimensional numerical value input into a two-dimensional visual display showing position versus speed profiles. This dimensional transformation enables operators to see the relationship between position and speed simultaneously, making the motion setting intuitive while preserving visual information about the slide trajectory.
2Manufacturing precision
If numerical values are input for each column in a table, then the motion can be set, but the operator may set a motion different from the intended motion
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit provides visual feedback showing the actual motion trajectory and speed profile that will result from the operator's input. This feedback mechanism allows operators to verify their settings before execution, ensuring the intended motion matches the actual motion while maintaining ease of operation through graphical interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically updates the visual display as the operator modifies numerical values, showing real-time changes in the motion trajectory and speed profile. This dynamic visualization helps operators understand the impact of each parameter change, improving setting accuracy without complicating the operation.

AI summary
A servo press machine includes a display unit that displays a strip-shaped region for setting a motion of a slide and an operation unit that receives an input operation. A range extending from an upper end of the strip-shaped region to a lower end thereof corresponds to a movement range of the slide in a linear movement, and the strip-shaped region is formed of a plurality of slide operation regions that are consecutive in a direction in which the strip-shaped region extends. Each of the slide operation regions can set a speed of the slide in response to the input operation received by the operation unit, and a boundary between adjacent two of slide operation regions can move along the direction in which the strip-shaped region extends in response to the input operation received by the operation unit.
