Description
本發明是關於一種彈簧製造機，尤其是關於具有選擇性加工具配置之彈簧製造機及其使用方法。 The invention relates to a spring manufacturing machine, in particular to a spring manufacturing machine with a selective tooling configuration and a method for using the same.
按，現今彈簧製造機的組裝主要是依彈簧樣式在基座上分別安裝用於形成彈簧的複數加工具，並以凸輪方式驅動加工具相互配合進行彈簧生產。但現有的基座的設計限制了彈簧製造機的多樣接單生產。例如，習知彈簧製造機的組裝是依彈簧樣式來設計若干加工具的空間配置，這些加工具並非模組化設計，其配置一般以類似放射狀的方式指向該線材導線器。但在基座固定了加工具的運動行程來製造單樣式的彈簧，使得習知彈簧製造機僅能製造單一種類的彈簧。一旦要因應不同樣式的彈簧，習知彈簧製造機配置的加工具需要重新設計，隨著彈簧結構的複雜程度或者是混合不同樣式加工生產，使用的加工具數量多 時且考量到每一加工具在互相不干擾的運動工作空間(包含橫向和縱向位移)，將不易安排加工具的安裝位置，且難以解決此問題。因此使用習知彈簧製造機不利於多樣少量或混樣加工的製程，也無法因應未來工業4.0的智慧製造的需求。 According to the present, the assembly of the current spring manufacturing machine is mainly based on the spring style, a plurality of adding tools for forming a spring are installed on the base, and the cam tools are driven to cooperate with each other to produce the spring. However, the design of the existing base restricts the diversified production of the spring manufacturing machine. For example, the assembly of the conventional spring manufacturing machine is to design the spatial configuration of several tooling tools according to the spring style. These tooling tools are not modular designs, and their configuration is generally directed to the wire guide in a similar radial manner. However, the movement stroke of the tool is fixed on the base to manufacture a single style of spring, so that the conventional spring manufacturing machine can only manufacture a single type of spring. Once it is necessary to respond to different styles of springs, the adding tools of the conventional spring manufacturing machine configuration need to be redesigned. With the complexity of the spring structure or mixing and processing of different styles, the number of added tools is large. From time to time, considering that each adding tool does not interfere with each other in a moving working space (including lateral and vertical displacements), it will be difficult to arrange the installation position of the adding tool, and it is difficult to solve this problem. Therefore, the use of a conventional spring manufacturing machine is not conducive to a variety of small or mixed sample processing processes, and it cannot meet the needs of the smart manufacturing of Industry 4.0 in the future.

返參第七圖和第八圖，本發明彈簧製造機還裝配有一切削臂(440)，其通長包含由一控制器控制的一或多個驅動單元(未顯示)及一或多個旋轉或樞轉機構。如圖所示切削臂(440)大致上配置於所述基點位置的上方，且切削臂(440)的頂端具有一安裝軸(441)而相對於安裝軸的底端固持有一切削工具(未標號)。切削工具配置靠近於所述基點位置的上方，且可經由切削臂(440)的動作而沿著一封閉軌跡移動，所述封閉軌跡可經過所述基點位置，使得切削工具將在基點位置成形之彈簧部分與線材部分分離。一般而言，切削臂(440)可由複數個組件構成，包含構成切削臂(440)的主要支架結構、各種可動連接機構、用於固持切削工具的固持器、具有偏心結構的安裝軸(441)及一或多個驅動馬達等所組成，這些不在此逐一贅述。藉此，切削臂(440)具有特定的運動方式，賦予切削工具沿著所述封閉軌跡之移動，且所述封閉軌跡亦可經由所述機械的調整而改變。在該實施例中，切削臂(440)可以一升降手段裝配至機體(40)的安裝面(410)上。例如，機體(40)的安裝面(410)可提供有一安裝槽(412)供切削臂(440)的一部分對應安裝在其中的位置，且該安裝槽(412)還提供足夠空間允許切削臂(440)進行升降移動。儘管圖中未顯示，切削臂(440)在靠近安裝軸(441)處可配合類似的升降機制與所述機體(40)的安裝面(410)耦接。藉此升降調整，切削臂(440)可相對於所述基點位置縱向遠離或靠近，使得切削工具的調整更為彈性。 Referring back to FIGS. 7 and 8, the spring manufacturing machine of the present invention is also equipped with a cutting arm (440), the length of which includes one or more driving units (not shown) and one or more rotations controlled by a controller. Or pivoting mechanism. As shown in the figure, the cutting arm (440) is generally disposed above the base point position, and a top end of the cutting arm (440) has a mounting shaft (441) and a cutting tool is fixedly held relative to the bottom end of the mounting shaft ( Unlabeled). The cutting tool is arranged close to the base point position and can be moved along a closed trajectory by the action of the cutting arm (440). The closed trajectory can pass through the base point position so that the cutting tool will be formed at the base point position. The spring portion is separated from the wire portion. Generally speaking, the cutting arm (440) may be composed of a plurality of components, including a main bracket structure constituting the cutting arm (440), various movable connection mechanisms, a holder for holding a cutting tool, and an installation shaft (441) having an eccentric structure. And one or more driving motors, etc., which will not be described here one by one. Thereby, the cutting arm (440) has a specific movement mode, which allows the cutting tool to move along the closed trajectory, and the closed trajectory can also be changed by the adjustment of the machine. In this embodiment, the cutting arm (440) can be mounted on the mounting surface (410) of the body (40) by a lifting means. For example, the mounting surface (410) of the body (40) may be provided with a mounting groove (412) for a portion of the cutting arm (440) to be installed therein, and the mounting groove (412) also provides sufficient space for the cutting arm ( 440) Perform a lifting movement. Although not shown in the figure, the cutting arm (440) can be coupled to the mounting surface (410) of the body (40) near the mounting shaft (441) with a similar lifting mechanism. With this lifting adjustment, the cutting arm (440) can be longitudinally farther or closer to the base point position, making the adjustment of the cutting tool more flexible.
在所述基點位置的下方同樣裝配有另一切削臂(450)，其配置與前述上方切削臂(440)類似。然而，根據彈簧的製造策略，切削臂(450)的切 削工具亦可拆換為其他功能之工具，如用於彈簧成形的其他輔助工具，像是彈簧繞線間隔形成工具。 Below the base point position, another cutting arm (450) is also fitted, and its configuration is similar to the above-mentioned upper cutting arm (440). However, according to the manufacturing strategy of the spring, the cutting of the cutting arm (450) The cutting tool can also be replaced with other functions, such as other auxiliary tools for spring forming, such as spring winding interval forming tools.
第十三A圖及十三B圖為該實施例的進一步局部放大圖，分別顯示加工具遠離及進入所述基點位置之變化。在所述線材導向器(420)的輸出端與所述基點位置之間可配置有一或多個間距加工具(424)，其傾斜延伸並指向所述基點位置。間距加工具(424)具有特殊結構，用以在捲繞的彈簧線圈之間形成固定間距。在彈簧成形的過程中，間距加工具(424)還可經由控制與基點位置之間的距離而改變彈簧結構的間距。換言之，間距加工具(424)為形成彈簧間距的模具。 Figures 13A and 13B are further enlarged views of the embodiment, showing changes in the position of the tool away from and entering the base point, respectively. Between the output end of the wire guide (420) and the base point position, one or more space adding tools (424) may be arranged, which extend obliquely and point to the base point position. The spacing plus tool (424) has a special structure for forming a fixed spacing between the wound spring coils. In the process of spring forming, the spacing plus tool (424) can also change the spacing of the spring structure by controlling the distance from the base point position. In other words, the pitch plus tool (424) is a mold for forming a spring pitch.
如圖所示，在彈簧成形完成之前，上方的切削臂(440)的切削工具靜止於一準備位置。當彈簧成形完成後，切削臂(440)的切削工具則如前述封閉軌跡進入基點位置將彈簧部分與線材部分分離。此外，如前述下方的切削臂(450)可將其切削工具替換為其他輔助工具，如可替換為類似前述間距加工具的工具，並在彈簧形成其間進入所述基點位置促進彈簧間距的形成。當然，在其他實施例中，在彈簧成形其間所利用的間距加工具可以僅有一個。 As shown in the figure, the cutting tool of the upper cutting arm (440) rests in a preparation position before the spring forming is completed. After the forming of the spring is completed, the cutting tool of the cutting arm (440) enters the base point position as described above to separate the spring portion from the wire portion. In addition, the cutting arm (450) below can replace its cutting tool with other auxiliary tools, such as a tool similar to the aforementioned spacing plus tool, and enter the base point position during the formation of the spring to promote the formation of the spring spacing. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be only one spacing plus tool used during spring forming.
上下導引栓(4335)位在基點位置的右側且以特定的傾斜方向指向所述基點位置。如第十三A圖，上下安裝平台(431)可受水平驅動(如圖示x軸方向)而使導引栓(4335)遠離所述基點位置。而根據彈簧結構，上下安裝平台(431)分別受水平驅動而向所述基點位置靠近且直到導引栓(4335)的尖端精準地位於用於線材捲繞的軌跡上，如第十三B圖。一般而言，上下導引栓(4335)之間的夾角為九十度，而導引栓(4335)相對於所述基點位置的分布決定了成形之彈簧的直徑。本實施例可藉由數據控制上下安裝平台(431)相對於所述基點 位置的距離來決定所述直徑，取代替換工具尺寸的作法。此外，由於安裝平台(431)上還有多個由定位孔(4316A)定義的多個安裝位置，加工具位置的選擇更為彈性。 The upper and lower guide pins (4335) are located to the right of the base point position and point to the base point position in a specific tilt direction. As shown in Figure 13A, the upper and lower mounting platforms (431) can be driven horizontally (as shown in the x-axis direction) to keep the guide bolt (4335) away from the base point position. According to the spring structure, the upper and lower mounting platforms (431) are driven horizontally and approach the base point until the tip of the guide bolt (4335) is accurately located on the trajectory for wire winding, as shown in Figure 13B. . Generally speaking, the angle between the upper and lower guide pins (4335) is ninety degrees, and the distribution of the position of the guide pins (4335) relative to the base point determines the diameter of the formed spring. In this embodiment, the upper and lower mounting platforms (431) can be controlled by data relative to the base point. The distance of the position determines the diameter, instead of replacing the size of the tool. In addition, since there are multiple mounting positions defined by the positioning holes (4316A) on the mounting platform (431), the selection of the tooling position is more flexible.
不同於所述基點位置，本實例還可包含用於製造其他種類彈簧的另一基點位置。如第十三A及十三B圖所示，在安裝平面(410)的所述基點位置(該些加工具指向之位置)與上下安裝平台(431)之間具有一預留空間(460)，用以裝配一加工具。預留空間(460)位在線材導向器(420)的遞送方向上，使線材可前進至預留空間(460)所提供的另一基點位置。在一應用中，所述預留空間(460)可裝配用於製造漩渦彈簧的一可轉動加工具，其可接收來自線材導向器(420)輸出端所供應的線材或片材並將材料經轉動形成漩渦結構，再藉由切削加工具將成形之彈簧與材料分離。當然，所述預留空間(460)可根據欲成形彈簧的種類而裝配適合的加工具，而所述基點位置則視加工具的選擇而改變。 Unlike the base point position, this example may also include another base point position for manufacturing other kinds of springs. As shown in Figures 13A and 13B, there is a reserved space (460) between the base point position of the mounting plane (410) and the upper and lower mounting platforms (431). For assembling a plus tool. The reserved space (460) is positioned in the delivery direction of the wire guide (420), so that the wire can be advanced to another base point position provided by the reserved space (460). In an application, the reserved space (460) can be equipped with a rotatable processing tool for manufacturing a spiral spring, which can receive the wire or sheet supplied from the output end of the wire guide (420) and pass the material through The vortex structure is formed by rotation, and the formed spring is separated from the material by a cutting tool. Of course, the reserved space (460) can be equipped with a suitable tool according to the type of spring to be formed, and the position of the base point can be changed according to the selection of the tool.
預留空間(460)及其對應的基點位置位於上下安裝平台(431)之間。本實施例之安裝平台(431)係經設計而部分圍繞在預留空間(460)及其對應基點位置的周圍，且不與該基點位置相互干擾。併參第九圖，安裝平台(431)在前端(4311)和下端(4314)之間形成有一缺口(4315)，其相對於安裝平台的其他周圍結構向內凹入。上下安裝平台(431)的兩缺口(4315)係經配置以使預留空間(460)或其裝配加工具對應的基點位置暴露於安裝面(410)而不會因安裝平台(431)的水平移動而被遮住。據此，本實施例提供的安裝平台設計允許其安裝之加工具可在一橫向方向上移動以選擇適當的加工位置，而安裝平台的結構還允許兩個用於彈簧成形之基點位置的選擇，且兩者不相互重疊。總而言之，本實施例的設計賦予彈簧製造機的硬體設定有更多的彈性。 The reserved space (460) and its corresponding base point position are located between the upper and lower mounting platforms (431). The mounting platform (431) of this embodiment is designed to partially surround the reserved space (460) and its corresponding base point position without interfering with the base point position. Referring to the ninth figure, the mounting platform (431) has a gap (4315) formed between the front end (4311) and the lower end (4314), which is recessed inward relative to other surrounding structures of the mounting platform. The two notches (4315) of the upper and lower mounting platforms (431) are configured to expose the reserved space (460) or the corresponding base point position of the assembly plus tool to the mounting surface (410) without being affected by the level of the mounting platform (431) Moved and covered. According to this, the design of the mounting platform provided in this embodiment allows its mounting tool to be moved in a lateral direction to select an appropriate processing position, and the structure of the mounting platform also allows the selection of two base point positions for spring forming. And the two do not overlap each other. All in all, the design of this embodiment gives more flexibility to the hardware setting of the spring manufacturing machine.

The memory (501) of the controller (50) can store a spring database in advance. In addition to containing the structural data of various springs, it can further describe the classification of the spring and the selection of the type of application tool for each classification. The selection is generated according to the three-dimensional structural shape of the spring, such as the size of the cutting tool, the shape of the guide pin, the size of the pitch plus the tool, and the like. According to this, the controller (50) analyzes and decides or recommends at least one plus tool according to the structural data or its corresponding parameters. The selection or decision of the tool can be presented via a display interface. Furthermore, according to the movable component mounted on the spring manufacturing machine, such as the movable component (11, 12) in the first figure or the movable component (430) in the seventh figure, the controller (50) may determine at least one plus The tool and its at least one mounting position on the movable component.
此外，根據以複數個向量表示出該彈簧的三維結構形狀，當線材導向器(101)持續導入一線材進入該基座的基點位置的過程中，該彈簧的三維結構形狀從起點到終點的每一個向量都會經過該基點位置，並在第幾個向量經過該基點位置時，所述控制器(50)決定哪個加工具會進入該基點位置與該線材接觸，以及在第幾個向量經過該基點位置時，所述控制器(50)決定哪個加工具會離開該基點位置，且所述控制器(50)在該加工具進入到離開該基點位置期間決定該加工具的一運動行程，該運動行程使該加工具加工該線材以形成該彈簧的部分三維結構。直到最後一個向量到該終點時，所述控制器(50)將控制刀具 切斷該線材，以完成彈簧的製程。因此，所述控制器(50)收集各種彈簧的3D結構形狀及其選用的加工具的製程數據資料後，可藉由大數據分析該製程數據資料，而建立各種加工具的運動行程適於加工彈簧的哪些3D結構的資料庫，使本發明彈簧製造機具有工業4.0的智慧製造，而有效率的處理多樣多量、多樣少量與混樣加工的製程規劃。 In addition, according to the three-dimensional structure shape of the spring represented by a plurality of vectors, when the wire guide (101) continues to introduce a wire into the base point position of the base, the three-dimensional structure shape of the spring from the start to the end A vector will pass through the base point position, and when a few vectors pass through the base point position, the controller (50) determines which plus tool will enter the base point position to contact the wire, and pass through the base point in the several vectors When in the position, the controller (50) determines which plus tool will leave the base point position, and the controller (50) determines a movement stroke of the plus tool during the time when the plus tool enters and leaves the base point position. The stroke causes the tool to process the wire to form a partial three-dimensional structure of the spring. Until the last vector reaches the end point, the controller (50) will control the tool Cut the wire to complete the spring process. Therefore, after the controller (50) collects the 3D structural shapes of various springs and the process data of the selected tool, the big data can be used to analyze the process data to establish the movement strokes of various tools suitable for processing.

As shown in the seventh figure, a tool installation option of another embodiment is illustrated. The tool (433) with guide bolts is symmetrically installed on the upper and lower mounting platforms (431). The installation positions are As shown in the ninth figure, the positioning grooves (4317) in different directions and the positioning holes (4316A, 4316B) in different installation sections are defined. The result of the previous step may further include one or more movable components or mounting positions corresponding to the tooling. For example, the determined cutting tool can correspond to the upper cutting arm (440) or the lower cutting arm (450) as shown in the seventh figure for the operator to choose to install. As another example, when the determined adding tool is a mold dedicated to forming a spiral spring or a rotating adding tool, the adding tool corresponds to the installation / base point position of the reserved space (460) as shown in Figures 13A and 13B. It is not near the base point of the wire output. In other words, a result of determining at least one tool and / or its installation position also determines a base point position for the spring forming. Step S120 ends with the confirmation of the tool and its installation position, and the result of this confirmation can be passed through the input parameter unit (51) A plurality of parameters that are input to the controller and processed to determine the motion stroke are stored in a memory (501).
步驟S130，至少根據該彈簧的結構資料與該加工具在該安裝平台的安裝位置，由控制器(50)控制對應的驅動單元驅動所述線材導向器、可動組件、安裝平台等以決定該至少一加工具的一運動行程，用於加工該基點位置的線材形成該彈簧。所述運動行程係指受控制器(50)控制的一或多個可動組件或加工具或參與製造的其他元件在針對一特定的彈簧結構所需要移動的方向、距離、方向、角度、速度及順序的組合。經輸入或確認之彈簧的結構資料、該至少一加工具及其安裝位置被轉換成各種的參數儲存在記憶體(501)，這些參數與記憶體(501)的控制指令共同建立包含有多個執行動作或行為的運動行程，彈簧製造機的相關驅動單元基於所述運動行程依序驅動各自對應的可動部，以獲得與該彈簧結構資料相符的產品。 Step S130: at least according to the structural information of the spring and the installation position of the tool on the installation platform, the controller (50) controls the corresponding drive unit to drive the wire guide, the movable component, the installation platform, etc. to determine the at least A movement stroke of a plus tool for processing the wire at the base point position to form the spring. The motion stroke refers to the direction, distance, direction, angle, speed and speed of one or more movable components or tools or other elements involved in manufacturing controlled by the controller (50) for a specific spring structure. Sequence of combinations. The structure data of the input or confirmed spring, the at least one plus tool and its installation position are converted into various parameters and stored in the memory (501). These parameters are established together with the control instructions of the memory (501) and include a plurality of parameters. When performing a motion stroke of an action or behavior, the relevant drive unit of the spring manufacturing machine sequentially drives the respective corresponding movable parts based on the motion stroke to obtain a product consistent with the spring structure data.
在一實施例中，控制器(50)可經配置以至少基於所述彈簧的結構資料的相關參數建立一產品模型儲存於記憶體(501)。同樣地，控制器(50)可至少基於已決定之至少一加工具與其安裝位置的相關參數建立一模擬模型儲存於記憶體(501)。進一步地，控制器(50)可根據所述產品模型與所述模擬模型(的相似度或一致性)決定當前所安排或選擇的加工具及其安裝位置是否可成功製造該彈簧，或是否需要調整。例如，所述調整包含改變加工具的安裝位置或改變加工具的種類等。 In one embodiment, the controller (50) may be configured to establish a product model based on at least related parameters of the structural data of the spring and store the product model in the memory (501). Similarly, the controller (50) may establish a simulation model based on at least the determined related parameters of at least one plus tool and its installation position and store it in the memory (501). Further, the controller (50) may determine, based on the similarity or consistency between the product model and the simulation model, whether the currently arranged or selected machining tool and its installation position can successfully manufacture the spring, or whether it requires Adjustment. For example, the adjustment includes changing the installation position of the tool, or changing the type of the tool.
控制器(50)可經配置以記錄基點位置的相關位置參數，所述基點位置可為一個點或是一範圍。控制器(50)可經配置以記錄與安裝平台的每一安裝區段的所有定位孔有關的位移參數，其中每一定位孔對應關聯於一位移參 數，且不同定位孔的參數不同。如定位孔的位移參數可根據二維座標系統表示為(X,Y)，所述加工具的相關參數亦可採取類似表示。控制器(50)可經配置以接收並記錄一或多個輸入參數並根據所述輸入參數決定該至少一加工具的運動行程，其中所述輸入參數與加工具的種類及該加工具安裝在該安裝平台的安裝位置有關。意即，控制器(50)會根據加工具本身定義的參數及安裝位置的定位孔參數判斷對應的可動組件應執行哪些動作，使加工具在適當的時機進入或退出所述基點位置。據此，控制器(50)可根據該至少一加工具安裝在安裝平台的定位孔決定該加工具的所述運動行程。此外，在成形彈簧的一個周期內，所述基點位置可以是隨著加工具的運動行程設計而變動的，並非只有固定在一個點。 The controller (50) may be configured to record related position parameters of a base point position, which may be a point or a range. The controller (50) may be configured to record displacement parameters related to all positioning holes of each mounting section of the mounting platform, wherein each positioning hole is correspondingly associated with a displacement parameter Number, and the parameters of different positioning holes are different. For example, the displacement parameters of the positioning hole can be expressed as (X, Y) according to the two-dimensional coordinate system, and the related parameters of the tool can be similarly expressed. The controller (50) may be configured to receive and record one or more input parameters and determine a movement stroke of the at least one plus tool according to the input parameters, wherein the input parameters and the type of the plus tool and the plus tool are installed in the The mounting position of the mounting platform is related. That is, the controller (50) judges which actions the corresponding movable component should perform according to the parameters defined by the processing tool itself and the positioning hole parameters of the installation position, so that the processing tool can enter or exit the base point position at an appropriate timing. According to this, the controller (50) can determine the movement stroke of the at least one plus tool according to a positioning hole where the at least one plus tool is installed on the mounting platform. In addition, in one cycle of the forming spring, the position of the base point may be changed with the design of the movement stroke of the tool, and it is not limited to being fixed at one point.
在使用彈簧製造機的實務中，操作人員會更換加工具的種類及/或其安裝位置以滿足不同彈簧的製造，或是校正及調整加工具及相關的運動行程以求最佳運動行程。參閱第十五圖，本發明的控制方法還包含步驟S200至S210。 In the practice of using a spring manufacturing machine, the operator will change the type of the tool and / or its installation position to meet the manufacture of different springs, or correct and adjust the tool and related motion strokes to obtain the optimal motion stroke. Referring to the fifteenth figure, the control method of the present invention further includes steps S200 to S210.
步驟S200，控制器(50)可經配置以根據控制參數的新增及/或刪除，決定所述驅動單元或加工具的運動行程。例如，已安裝的一或多個加工具被更換安裝位置以滿足彈簧製造機的調整或校正需求，對於控制器來說是依序刪除加工具安裝位置所對應的參數並新增加工具的新安裝位置之參數。或是加工具的安裝位置固定但更換加工具，對控制器來說是依序刪除該加工具對應的參數並新增另一加工具對應的參數。換言之，無論是加工具、安裝位置的改變或甚至是彈簧的結構資料及線材特徵的改變，控制器均據以更新所記錄的參數並決定出一新的運動行程，結束該步驟。 In step S200, the controller (50) may be configured to determine a movement stroke of the driving unit or the tool according to the addition and / or deletion of the control parameter. For example, the installed position of one or more added tools is changed to meet the adjustment or correction requirements of the spring manufacturing machine. For the controller, the parameters corresponding to the installed positions of the added tools are sequentially deleted and new installation of the tools is added Parameters of the position. Or the installation position of the tool is fixed but the tool is replaced. For the controller, the parameters corresponding to the tool are sequentially deleted and another parameter corresponding to another tool is added. In other words, whether it is a tool change, an installation position change, or even a change in the structural data and wire characteristics of the spring, the controller updates the recorded parameters and determines a new motion stroke, and ends the step.
新的運動行程可經模擬而判斷彈簧製造機是否能成功製造如彈簧結構資料所定義的彈簧。如前述，從彈簧結構資料定義的產品模型與運動行程 定義的模擬模型之比較，可判斷所有參數的安排是否已達最佳化，據此確保產品的精確度。當然，本發明彈簧製造機亦可經由動態監督的手段來確保產品經確度。步驟S210，控制器(50)可經配置以根據一感應訊號決定所述驅動單元之每一者的所述運動行程。如第十四圖，本發明彈簧製造機可包含一或多個感應器(52)，如光感應器，用以感應在所述基點位置中的加工具與線材的動作。若加工具或線材在所述基點位置中出現不符合預期的偏差，則感應器(52)輸出相關的感應訊號。控制器(50)可經配置以接收並處理該感應訊號，並根據處理結果修改或決定運行中的運動行程，或是停止製造程序。 The new motion stroke can be simulated to determine whether the spring manufacturing machine can successfully produce a spring as defined by the spring structure data. As mentioned above, the product model and motion stroke defined from the spring structure data The comparison of the defined simulation models can determine whether the arrangement of all parameters has been optimized, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the product. Of course, the spring manufacturing machine of the present invention can also ensure the accuracy of the product by means of dynamic supervision. In step S210, the controller (50) may be configured to determine the movement stroke of each of the driving units according to a sensing signal. As shown in the fourteenth figure, the spring manufacturing machine of the present invention may include one or more sensors (52), such as a light sensor, for sensing the action of the tool and the wire in the base point position. If the tool or wire does not meet the expected deviation in the base point position, the sensor (52) outputs a related induction signal. The controller (50) may be configured to receive and process the inductive signal, and modify or determine the motion stroke in operation according to the processing result, or stop the manufacturing process.
