CONTROL METHOD OF EMBOSSING APPARATUS

摘要

A blade of a cutting tool is stuck into a medium adhered on a support member and is stopped in a state in which a blade edge is positioned between upper and lower surfaces of the medium. A cut line is formed in the medium by the support member and the cutting tool being moved. The blade is pulled out from the medium. An embossing tool is pressed against a position along the cut line of the medium. A continuous recess extending along the cut line is formed in the medium by the support member and the embossing tool being moved.

主权项

1. A control method of an embossing apparatus, comprising:
moving a cutting tool including a blade to a position facing a predetermined first target position of a medium to be processed, by controlling an operation of a first driving device configured to move, in a first direction, a support member on which the medium to be processed is adhered, and an operation of a second driving device configured to move the cutting tool and an embossing tool which recesses the medium to be processed by pressing, in a second direction parallel to a major surface of the support member and different from the first direction; controlling an operation of a first pressing device configured to move the cutting tool in a third direction perpendicular to the major surface of the support member, thereby sticking the blade into the first target position of the medium to be processed, and stopping the blade in a state in which a blade edge is positioned between upper and lower surfaces of the medium to be processed; forming a cut line in the medium to be processed by moving the support member in the first direction by the first driving device, and moving the cutting tool in the second direction by the second driving device, in the state in which the blade is stuck in the medium to be processed; moving the cutting tool to a position where the blade is pulled out from the medium to be processed, by controlling the operation of the first pressing device; moving the embossing tool to a position facing a second target position along the cut line of the medium to be processed, by controlling the operations of the first driving device and the second driving device; controlling an operation of a second pressing device configured to move the embossing tool in the third direction, thereby pressing the embossing tool against the second target position, and forming a recess in the medium to be processed; and forming an embossed portion in the medium to be processed by a continuous recess extending along the cut line, by moving the support member in the first direction by the first driving device, and moving the embossing tool in the second direction by the second driving device, in the state in which the embossing tool is pressing the medium to be processed.
