It is to provide a method for manufacturing a panel.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the means described in the claims, and the operation is as follows.

[Action]

Since a plurality of nameplate patterns are simultaneously printed on the panel material, and then each display code is simultaneously printed on each of the printed nameplate patterns, an operation panel having a nameplate can be manufactured with extremely few man-hours.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, drawings showing an embodiment of the present application will be described. First
In the process chart of the method for manufacturing a control panel having a nameplate shown in the figure, first, an explanation will be given by an electric manufacturer based on the specification 1 from the orderer (step 2). Step 2 of this design is performed using, for example, a well-known CAD (CAD). The CAD comprises an input device, a central processing unit, an external storage device, and an output device, as is well known. Examples of the input device include a keyboard, a decider, a light pen, and an image input device. The output device includes an automatic drafting machine, a plotter, a hard copy device, and the like. The designer performs the design while viewing the screen of the CAD as indicated by reference numeral 3, for example. That is, necessary input is performed using the input device, and the screen 3 is provided with the shape of the operation panel 4, the mounting portions for a plurality of operating members, such as the shape of the mounting holes 5, and the vicinity of each mounting portion. On each nameplate 6 corresponding to each power, a shape line 9 representing the shape of a nameplate pattern (a pattern in the shape of the nameplate of the nameplate) 7 representing the outer shape of the nameplate 6 is drawn. Similarly, a dimension auxiliary line 10, a dimension line 11, and a dimension numeral 12 for representing the size of the panel 4 and the size and position of the mounting hole 5 are drawn. Furthermore, a display code 8 on each nameplate 6 is also drawn. Design contents of the design performed in this way (contents indicated by reference numerals 8 to 12)
Is stored in the storage device.

When the design is completed, a part or all of the design content stored in the CAD is printed on a paper surface using an output device, and an instruction for a sheet metal working process, that is, a hole drawing 13 is formed. FIG. 13 shows the shape line 9 of the panel 4 and the mounting hole 5.
And a dimension auxiliary line 10, a dimension line 11, and a dimension numeral 12 representing their size and position, but other contents may be represented. The perforated figure 13 is sent to the iron box sheet metal processing step 14 where the panel material 15 is formed. The panel material 15 is painted as needed with the same color as the machine to which it is attached. These steps are performed by, for example, a specialized trader.

On the other hand, after the completion of the above design, a part or all of the design contents stored in the CAD are printed on the paper surface using the output device, and the instruction for the step 18 of preparing the film for the plate making for the nameplate pattern is prepared. That is, a nameplate layout diagram 17 is formed. This nameplate layout
In 17, the contents related to the nameplate pattern 7, that is, the shape line 9 representing the shape of the nameplate pattern, the dimension auxiliary line 10 representing the position or size thereof, the dimension line 11, and the dimension number 12 may be represented.
Other contents such as a panel shape line 9 and a display code 8 as shown in the figure may be displayed. The nameplate layout drawing 17 is sent to the step 18 where the nameplate pattern making film 22 is created. This step 18 is performed, for example, as follows. First, from the red or black film 19, the nameplate pattern type 20 according to the shape and size of the nameplate pattern 7 shown in the nameplate layout diagram 17 is shown.
Cut out. Next, the transparent film 21 is superimposed on the nameplate layout drawing 17, and the mold 20 is attached to the nameplate pattern 7 on the nameplate layout drawing 17 through which the film 21 can be seen. Thereby, the nameplate pattern making film 22 is completed. Next, the plate making film 22 is sent to a photo plate making process 23, and a name plate pattern printing screen 24 is created by the plate making film 22. Next, the printing screen 24 is sent to a step 26 for printing a nameplate pattern. In this step 26, the panel material 15 is also sent. In step 26, the panel material 15
The printing of each nameplate pattern 7 in the vicinity of each of the mounting portions is simultaneously performed in one process using the printing screen 24.

After the above design is completed, the plate making film 27
Is formed. In this work, only the display code 8 and the center mark 28 indicating the center position of the mounting hole 5 in the above-mentioned design contents are printed on a transparent film material 29 for plate making using a CAD output device. Thus, a plate making film 27 for a display code is formed. Next, the plate making film 27
Is sent to the photomechanical process 30, and a printing screen 31 for a display code is created by the prepress film 27. Next, the printing screen 31 is sent to a printing code printing step 32. In this step 32, the panel material on which the nameplate pattern 7 is printed is also sent. In step 32, the respective display symbols 8 corresponding to the respective mounting portions are simultaneously printed on the respective nameplate patterns 7 already printed on the panel material using the printing screen 31 in one step. Thereby, the operation panel 33 having the nameplate 6 is completed. This finished panel
33 is sent to an assembling process 34 of an electric machine maker, and operation members such as push buttons and display members such as display lamps are mounted on each mounting portion, and the panel is mounted on the main body of the operation panel.

The design step 2 may be performed by a method of drawing a design drawing having the same contents as the contents of the screen 3 on paper. In that case, it is preferable to create a composition on which only the display code 8 is written based on the design drawing, and to make a plate-making film 27 for the display code by taking a photograph of the composition.
