PORTABLE MANIPULATION COMMAND INPUT DEVICE AND APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH MANIPULATION COMMAND INPUT DEVICE

摘要

A portable manipulation command input device, including a sub-console panel attachable to and removable from an automatic lathe apparatus main unit, and includes an input unit to receive input of a manipulation command to the automatic lathe apparatus main unit, a display unit to display information on the automatic lathe apparatus main unit, and a radio communication unit to communicate with the automatic lathe apparatus main unit. The sub-console panel includes a detection unit and a control unit formed with the automatic lathe apparatus main unit. The detection unit includes a radio ID tag and a radio ID reader detecting the sub-console panel being placed within a predetermined range of the automatic lathe apparatus main unit. Depending on a detection result by the detection unit, the control unit allows or restricts manipulations of the automatic lathe apparatus main unit, and allows display of the information even when restricting the manipulations.
