A spring-forming control system and its control method for a spring
forming machine in which the spring-forming control system uses a host
computer to provide graphical spring parameter setting, program
modification, and dragline-method program modification graphical
interfaces that are selectively switchable on a display monitor. After
setting of spring processing parameters through the spring parameter
setting interface, a trial production is done subject to a spring
parameter auto-generation software built in the spring-forming control
system, and then the production is started if the trial meets the
requirements, or the spring processing parameters are modified through
the spring parameter setting interface, program modification interface,
or dragline-method program modification interface if the trial does not
meet the requirements, and then a further trial production is performed
till the shaped spring meets the requirements. A spring preview is
available during running of the spring-forming control system. The
graphic interface operation has the advantages of convenience, rapidness,
and accuracy.
