A plate material processing machine such as a punch press or a laser processing machine may perform a process of cutting a plurality of component plate materials from the material plate material. When creating a control program for a plate material processing machine that performs such processing, nesting, which is processing for determining the arrangement of each component plate material with respect to the material plate material, is performed. Nesting is performed according to a setting rule by an automatic programming device or the like. When such nesting is performed, any side or corner of the material plate material is defined as a reference position for arrangement, and a plurality of component plate materials are sequentially arranged close to the reference position. Which side or corner is used as the reference position is arbitrarily designated by the operator.

素材板材から部品板材を切り取った場合に、部品板材の切り取り枚数が少なくて、素材板材に大きな余り部分が生じることがある。このような大きな余り部分が生じた板材は、素材として再度の利用が可能であるが、再利用できる場合が限られ、そのような場合が生じるまで保管する必要がある。このため、従来は加工効率を重視し、大きな余り部分が生じた板材も、端材として廃棄しており、資源の無駄が生じていた。
このような資源の無駄を無くし、また加工効率の低下を緩和するものとして、板材加工機のテーブルに隣接して、上記のような余り部分が生じた板材を保管するストッカを付設したものを提案した(特願2007−115163号)。
When a component plate material is cut out from the material plate material, the number of component plate materials to be cut out is small, and a large surplus portion may be generated in the material plate material. A plate material having such a large surplus portion can be reused as a raw material, but is limited to reusable cases, and must be stored until such a case occurs. For this reason, in the past, the processing efficiency was emphasized, and the plate material having a large excess portion was discarded as an end material, resulting in a waste of resources.
In order to eliminate such waste of resources and alleviate the reduction in processing efficiency, we proposed a stocker that is attached to the table of the plate processing machine and stores the plate with the above-mentioned surplus parts. (Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-115163).

しかし、従来は上記のように、ネスティングの配置基準位置をオペレータが任意に指定して実施している。また、加工後の端材をストッカで管理する場合は、板材加工機からストッカへ搬出するときにグリッパーで板材を把持する必要があり、上記のような任意の配置基準位置のネスティングがなされたときに、把持する側に部品板材が配置されることがある。このような把持側に部品板材の配置が行われた場合、その部品板材の切り取り加工後の端材の剛性がなくなり、安定して搬出できない可能性がある。   Conventionally, however, the operator has arbitrarily designated the nesting arrangement reference position as described above. In addition, when managing the processed end material with the stocker, it is necessary to grip the plate material with the gripper when carrying it out from the plate material processing machine to the stocker, and when any of the above arrangement reference positions is nested In addition, a component plate material may be disposed on the side to be gripped. When the component plate material is arranged on such a gripping side, the rigidity of the end material after the cutting process of the component plate material is lost, and there is a possibility that it cannot be stably carried out.

この発明の目的は、ストッカを付設した板材加工機で加工する場合に、再利用可能な端材板材をストッカへ搬送するにつき、安定して端材板材の搬送が行えるネスティングが可能なネスティング装置を提供することである。
この発明の他の目的は、ストッカから板材加工機への搬入時にも、端材板材の安定した搬入,位置決めを行えるネスティングを可能とすることである。
この発明のさらに目的は、ストッカを付設した板材加工機で加工する場合に、再利用可能な端材板材をストッカへ搬送するにつき、安定して端材板材の搬送が行える板材加工方法を提供することである。
An object of the present invention is to provide a nesting apparatus capable of nesting capable of stably transporting end material plate materials when transporting reusable end material plate materials to the stocker when processing with a plate material processing machine provided with a stocker. Is to provide.
Another object of the present invention is to enable nesting capable of stably carrying in and positioning the end material plate material even when carrying it from the stocker to the plate material processing machine.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a plate material processing method capable of stably conveying an end plate material when conveying a reusable end material plate material to the stocker when processing with a plate material processing machine provided with a stocker. That is.

この発明のネスティング装置は、板材(W)を保管するストッカ(35)を付設した板材加工機(31)の制御用データ(44)の作成に適用され、矩形の素材板材(W)の図形(GW)に対して、前記素材板材(W)から切り取る複数の部品板材(m)の図形(Gm)を、前記素材板材(W)の所定の辺または角を基準位置(A)として、その基準位置側(A)に寄せて順次配置して行くネスティング装置であって、
前記素材板材(W)が板材加工機(31)のテーブル(32)上に配置された状態で、前記ストッカ(35)から遠い側となる辺(Wa)または角(Wb)を前記基準位置(A)として設定した基準位置設定手段(5)と、前記素材板材(W)の図形(GW)に対して、前記部品板材(m)の図形(Gm)を、設定規則(R)に従い、前記基準位置側(A)に寄せて順次配置するネスティング手段(4)とを備えることを特徴とする。上記の遠い側となる辺(Wa)または角(Wb)とは、矩形の素材板材(W)における、ストッカ(35)から最も遠い辺または最も遠い角である。最も遠い角が2つある場合は、そのうちのいずれの角であっても良い。
The nesting device according to the present invention is applied to creation of control data (44) of a plate material processing machine (31) provided with a stocker (35) for storing a plate material (W), and a rectangular material plate material (W) figure ( GW), a figure (Gm) of a plurality of component plate materials (m) cut out from the material plate material (W), with a predetermined side or corner of the material plate material (W) as a reference position (A), its reference A nesting device that sequentially arranges toward the position side (A),
In a state where the raw material plate material (W) is arranged on the table (32) of the plate material processing machine (31), the side (Wa) or the corner (Wb) on the side far from the stocker (35) is set to the reference position ( For the reference position setting means (5) set as A) and the figure (GW) of the material board (W), the figure (Gm) of the component board (m) is set according to the setting rule (R). And nesting means (4) arranged sequentially toward the reference position side (A). The side (Wa) or corner (Wb) on the far side is the farthest side or farthest corner from the stocker (35) in the rectangular material plate (W). If there are two farthest corners, any of them may be used.

この構成のネスティング装置によると、素材板材(W)における、ストッカ(35)から遠い側となる辺(Wa)または角(Wb)となる基準位置(A)に寄せて、部品板材(m)の図形(Gm)が配置される。そのため、素材板材(W)に再利用可能な程度の余り部分(W0)が生じるネスティングがなされた場合、そのネスティングに従って加工が完了した素材板材(W)である端材板材(W)は、ストッカ(35)に近い部分に未加工の余り部分(W0)が生じることになる。板材加工機(31)上の端材板材(W)をストッカ(35)へ搬出する場合は、グリッパ(41)等で把持してストッカ(35)へ引き込むことになるが、上記のようにストッカ(35)に近い部分に未加工の余り部分(W0)が生じているため、上記のように引き込むにつき、端材板材(W)の剛性不足の問題が生じず、安定して端材板材(W0)の搬送を行うことができる。   According to the nesting device having this configuration, the component plate material (m) is moved toward the reference position (A) at the side (Wa) or the corner (Wb) on the side far from the stocker (35) in the material plate material (W). A figure (Gm) is arranged. Therefore, when nesting in which a reusable excess portion (W0) is generated in the material plate material (W) is performed, the end material plate material (W), which is the material plate material (W) processed according to the nesting, is stored in the stocker. An unprocessed surplus portion (W0) is generated in a portion close to (35). When the end material plate (W) on the plate material processing machine (31) is carried out to the stocker (35), it is gripped by the gripper (41) or the like and pulled into the stocker (35). Since an unprocessed surplus portion (W0) is generated in the portion close to (35), the problem of insufficient rigidity of the end plate (W) does not occur when drawing as described above, and the end plate ( W0) can be carried.

この発明のネスティング装置において、前記ストッカ(35)が、このストッカ(35)から搬出した板材(W)を把持して前記板材加工機(31)のテーブル(32)に対して位置決めする位置決め具(42)を有するものである場合に、前記ネスティング手段(4)は、前記位置決め具(42)で把持する設定把持領域(E1)を回避して部品板材(m)の図形(Gm)を配置するものとしても良い。上記位置決め具(42)は、例えば真空吸着パッド(42a)等で板材(W)の上面を吸着する吸着具である。
この構成のネスティング装置の場合、端材板材(W)に、ストッカ(35)の位置決め具(42)で把持する設定把持領域(E1)が残される。そのため、この設定把持領域(E1)を利用して、把持、搬送、および位置決めが行え、ストッカ(35)から板材加工機(31)への搬入時にも、端材板材(W)の安定した搬入,位置決めを行うことができる。
In the nesting device of the present invention, the stocker (35) grips the plate material (W) carried out from the stocker (35) and positions it relative to the table (32) of the plate material processing machine (31) ( 42), the nesting means (4) arranges the figure (Gm) of the component plate material (m) while avoiding the set gripping area (E1) gripped by the positioning tool (42). It is good as a thing. The positioning tool (42) is a suction tool that sucks the upper surface of the plate (W) with, for example, a vacuum suction pad (42a).
In the case of the nesting device having this configuration, the set gripping region (E1) to be gripped by the positioning tool (42) of the stocker (35) remains on the end material plate (W). Therefore, using this set gripping area (E1), gripping, transporting and positioning can be performed, and stable loading of the end plate (W) is possible even when loading from the stocker (35) to the plate processing machine (31). , Positioning can be performed.

この発明の板材加工方法は、板材を保管するストッカを付設した板材加工機を用いて、矩形の素材板材から複数の部品板材を順次切り取る加工を行う方法であって、板材加工機上にある素材板材の、ストッカから遠い側となる辺または角を基準位置として、前記複数の部品板材を、前記基準位置に近い部品板材から先に、順次切り取ることを特徴とする。
この板材加工方法によると、この発明のネスティング装置につき説明したと同様に、板材加工機上の端材板材をストッカへ搬出するときに、端材板材には、ストッカに近い部分に未加工の余り部分が生じていて、端材板材の剛性不足の問題が生じず、安定して端材板材の搬送を行うことができる。
The plate material processing method of the present invention is a method of sequentially cutting a plurality of component plate materials from a rectangular material plate material using a plate material processing machine provided with a stocker for storing the plate material, and the material on the plate material processing machine The plurality of component plate materials are sequentially cut out first from the component plate material close to the reference position, with the side or corner of the plate material on the side far from the stocker as a reference position.

前記ストッカが、このストッカから搬出した板材を把持して前記板材加工機のテーブルに対して位置決めする位置決め具を有するものであって、前記ネスティング手段を、前記位置決め具で把持する設定把持領域を回避して部品板材の図形を配置するものとした場合は、ストッカから板材加工機への搬入時にも、端材板材の安定した搬入,位置決めが行えるネスティングが可能となる。
The nesting device according to the present invention is applied to creation of control data for a plate material processing machine provided with a stocker for storing plate materials, and a figure of a plurality of component plate materials cut out from the material plate material with respect to a shape of a rectangular material plate material. , A nesting device that sequentially arranges a predetermined side or corner of the material plate material as a reference position and moves toward the reference position side, wherein the material plate material is arranged on a table of a plate material processing machine, The reference position setting means that sets the side or corner on the side far from the stocker as the reference position, and the figure of the component plate material is moved toward the reference position side according to the setting rule with respect to the figure of the material plate material Nesting means that can stably transport the end material plate material when transporting the reusable end material plate material to the stocker. .

基準位置設定手段5は、ネスティング処理を行うときの部品板材mの配置の基準位置Aを定める手段である。基準位置設定手段5は、素材板材Wが板材加工機31のテーブル上に配置された状態で、この素材板材Wにおける、ストッカ35から遠い側となる辺Waまたは角Wbを前記基準位置Aとして設定する。なお、この基準位置Aは、部品板材mを寄せて配置する基準となる位置であり、必ずしも、素材板材Wの座標位置の原点でなくても良い。座標位置の原点は、基準位置Aとしても、また別の位置、例えばストッカ35側で、かつ前側(ワークホルダ33a側)の角などとしても良い。上記の「ストッカ35から遠い側となる辺Wa」は、矩形の素材板材Wの4辺のうちの、ストッカ35から最も遠い位置にある辺を言う。また、「ストッカ35から遠い側となる角Wb」は、矩形の素材板材Wの4つ角のうちの、ストッカ35から最も遠い位置にある角を言う。同図の例のように、ストッカ35から最も遠い位置にある角が2つある場合は、その2つのうちのいずれの角であっても良いが、例えば、ワークホルダ33aから遠い方の角としても良い。   The reference position setting means 5 is a means for determining a reference position A for the arrangement of the component plate materials m when performing the nesting process. The reference position setting means 5 sets, as the reference position A, the side Wa or the corner Wb on the side far from the stocker 35 in the material plate material W in a state where the material plate material W is arranged on the table of the plate material processing machine 31. To do. The reference position A is a reference position for placing the component plate material m close to each other, and is not necessarily the origin of the coordinate position of the material plate material W. The origin of the coordinate position may be the reference position A or another position, for example, a corner on the stocker 35 side and the front side (work holder 33a side). The “side Wa on the side far from the stocker 35” refers to the side farthest from the stocker 35 among the four sides of the rectangular material plate W. The “angle Wb on the side far from the stocker 35” refers to the corner that is the farthest from the stocker 35 among the four corners of the rectangular material plate W. If there are two corners farthest from the stocker 35 as in the example of the figure, any one of the two corners may be used. For example, as the corner farthest from the work holder 33a, Also good.

把持領域設定手段6は、ストッカ35の前記位置決め具42で把持するための領域として、素材板材W上に設定把持領域E1を設定した手段である。設定把持領域E1は、任意に定めれれば良いが、少なくとも、位置決め具42の吸着パッド42aで吸着する範囲よりも広い範囲とする。   The gripping area setting means 6 is a means for setting a set gripping area E1 on the material plate material W as an area for gripping by the positioning tool 42 of the stocker 35. The set gripping area E1 may be arbitrarily determined, but at least is set to a range wider than the range to be sucked by the suction pad 42a of the positioning tool 42.

グリッパ領域設定手段7は、ストッカ35のグリッパ41で把持するための領域である設定グリッパ領域E2を素材板材W上に設定した手段である。設定グリッパ領域E2は、任意に定めれれば良いが、少なくとも、グリッパ41で把持する範囲よりも広い範囲とする。   The gripper area setting means 7 is a means for setting a set gripper area E2 which is an area for gripping by the gripper 41 of the stocker 35 on the material plate W. The set gripper region E2 may be arbitrarily determined, but is set to a range wider than at least the range gripped by the gripper 41.

ネスティング手段4につき詳しく説明する。設定規則Rは、ネスティング処理を行うにつき各種の条件を定めた規則であり、任意に設定すれば良いが、上記設定把持領域E1および設定グリッパ領域E2にかかる位置に部品図形Gmを配置しない規則や、基準位置Aに寄せて各部品図形Gmを配置する規則が設けられる。基準位置Aに寄せるとは、素材板材Wの図形GW上に部品図形Gmが配置されない余り部分W0が生じる場合に、部品図形Gmをできるだけ基準位置Aに寄せることで、基準位置Aから遠い箇所に上記余り部分W0が生じるように配置を行うことである。設定規則Rとしては、上記の他に、素材板材Wの図形GWの設定外周領域E3にかかる位置に部品図形Gmを配置しない規則や、歩留りを最小とるする規則、また隣合う部品図形Gm間に開ける最小の間隔を定めた規則が設けられる。ネスティング手段4は、設定規則Rにおける上記の各規則を全て充足する位置に、部品図形Gmを配置する。   The nesting means 4 will be described in detail. The setting rule R is a rule that defines various conditions for performing the nesting process. The setting rule R may be arbitrarily set. However, the setting rule R may be a rule that does not place the part figure Gm at the positions related to the setting gripping area E1 and the setting gripper area E2. A rule is provided to place each component graphic Gm close to the reference position A. The approach to the reference position A means that when a surplus part W0 where the part figure Gm is not arranged on the figure GW of the material plate material W is generated, the part figure Gm is moved as far as possible to the reference position A, so The arrangement is such that the remainder W0 occurs. In addition to the above, the setting rule R includes, in addition to the above, a rule that does not place the component graphic Gm at a position related to the set outer peripheral area E3 of the graphic GW of the material plate W, a rule that minimizes the yield, and between adjacent component graphics Gm. Rules are established that define the minimum gaps that can be opened. The nesting means 4 arranges the component figure Gm at a position where all the above rules in the setting rule R are satisfied.

この構成のネスティング装置によると、素材板材Wにおける、ストッカ35から遠い側となる辺Waまたは角bとなる基準位置Aに寄せて、部品板材mの図形Gmが配置される。そのため、素材板材Wに再利用可能な程度の余り部分W0が生じるネスティングがなされた場合、そのネスティングに従って加工が完了した素材板材Wである端材板材は、ストッカ35に近い部分に未加工の余り部分W0が生じることになる。
例えば、図2(A)のように板材加工機31に搬入された素材板材Wは、同図(B)のように部品板材mとなる部分が切り抜かれた加工が行われ、ストッカ35に近い部分に未加工の余り部分W0が生じることになる。
According to the nesting apparatus having this configuration, the graphic Gm of the component board m is arranged close to the reference position A that is the side Wa or the corner b on the side farther from the stocker 35 in the material board W. Therefore, when nesting in which a reusable extra portion W0 is generated in the raw material plate W, the end material plate material, which is the raw material plate W that has been processed in accordance with the nesting, is an unprocessed remainder in a portion close to the stocker 35. The portion W0 is generated.
For example, the material plate material W carried into the plate material processing machine 31 as shown in FIG. 2 (A) is processed such that the part that becomes the component plate material m is cut out as shown in FIG. An unprocessed surplus portion W0 is generated in the portion.

板材加工機31上の上記のような余り部分W0が生じた端材板材Wをストッカ35へ搬出する場合は、グリッパ41で把持してストッカ35へ引き込むことになる。このとき、上記のようにストッカ35に近い部分に未加工の余り部分W0が生じているため、上記のように引き込むにつき、端材板材Wの剛性不足の問題が生じず、安定して端材板材Wの搬送を行うことができる。   When the end material plate material W having the above-described surplus portion W0 on the plate material processing machine 31 is carried out to the stocker 35, it is gripped by the gripper 41 and pulled into the stocker 35. At this time, since the unprocessed surplus portion W0 is generated in the portion close to the stocker 35 as described above, the problem of insufficient rigidity of the end material plate material W does not occur when it is pulled in as described above, and the end material is stably provided. The plate material W can be conveyed.

また、上記構成のネスティング装置によると、端材板材Wに、ストッカ35の位置決め具42で把持する設定把持領域E1が、部品板材mが未配置の状態で残される。そのため、この設定把持領域E1を利用して、吸着、搬送、および位置決めが行える。このため、ストッカ35から板材加工機31への搬入時にも、端材板材Wの安定した搬入,位置決めを行うことができる。
端材板材Wには、設定グリッパ領域E2も、部品板材mが未配置で残されるため、上記グリッパ41で把持してストッカ35へ引き込む動作も確実に行える。
Further, according to the nesting device having the above-described configuration, the setting grip region E1 that is gripped by the positioning tool 42 of the stocker 35 is left on the end material plate material W in a state where the component plate material m is not arranged. Therefore, suction, conveyance, and positioning can be performed using the set gripping area E1. For this reason, even when loading from the stocker 35 to the plate material processing machine 31, stable loading and positioning of the end material plate material W can be performed.
In the end material plate W, the set gripper region E2 is also left without the component plate material m, so that the gripper 41 can be held and pulled into the stocker 35 with certainty.

また、この実施形態の板材加工方法は、板材加工機31上にある素材板材Wの、ストッカ35から遠い側となる辺Waまたは角Wbを基準位置Aとして、複数の部品板材mを、前記基準位置Aに近い部品板材mから先に、順次切り取る。
そのため、上記のように、板材加工機35上の端材板材Wをストッカ35へ搬出するときに、端材板材Wには、ストッカ35に近い部分に未加工の余り部分W0が生じていて、端材板材Wの剛性不足の問題が生じず、安定して端材板材Wの搬送を行うことができる。
Further, in the plate material processing method of this embodiment, a plurality of component plate materials m are set to the reference position A with the side Wa or the corner Wb on the side far from the stocker 35 of the material plate material W on the plate material processing machine 31 as the reference position A. The component plate material m close to the position A is sequentially cut out first.
Therefore, as described above, when the end material plate material W on the plate material processing machine 35 is carried out to the stocker 35, the end material plate material W has an unprocessed surplus portion W0 in a portion close to the stocker 35. The problem of insufficient rigidity of the end material plate material W does not occur, and the end material plate material W can be conveyed stably.
