The configuration of the present invention in accordance with the above object is to print predetermined data for each car cocoon onto a management card using a terminal card punching machine from outside the central console, set the punched management card in a card reader, and have it read. The information is input to the controller, checked for read errors, stored in the buffer memory, and compared with the data of the plate model input in advance and the data stored in the buffer memory.Firstly, a plate sorting decoder selects the corresponding plate from the plate shelf. The other one sends the corresponding stamping data to the stamping machine using a data decoder, and in the stamping machine, the buffer memory indexes the stamping characters and performs the stamping operation. This is a summary of what was done.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shows a car steel name plate stamping system of the present invention, in which a management card punching machine 2 is connected to a predetermined central computer 3 via an input circuit 4.

A card reader 5 is attached to the card punching machine 2 and connected to a controller 7 via an input circuit 6, and wheel-specific management cards 8, 8, . . . are loaded with predetermined data from the card punching machine 2. A large number of ・are set for reading and operation.

The controller 7 has an abnormal code detection circuit 72 with an error display 71 for detecting errors when reading the management card 8, and further includes a buffer memory 73 for storing read data, a plate sorting decoder 74, and an embossing data decoder 75. The plate sorting decoder 74 and the stamping data decoder 75 are configured to compare the data of the plate model by car steel with the stored memory data 76 in advance.

Further, the plate rack 9 is connected to its indicator light 92, which allows a large number of name plates 91 to be stocked in the rack, through the plate sorting decoder 74 of the controller and the output circuit 6'.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an embossing machine, which has a data memory buffer memory 101 connected to the embossing data decoder 75 of the controller 7 through an output circuit 6''.
1 is a mechanism 1 for indexing stamped characters by pulse motor drive.
02, a mechanism 103 for stamping on the plate, a mechanism 104 for line-feeding the plate 91 in the x direction, a mechanism 105 for shifting in the Y-axis direction, and a stamping completion indicator light 106 are provided.

12 is an axle-shaped automobile colored body, which is adapted to receive a stamped card 91 in a corresponding manner.

In the above system, the data by car type is input from the management card punching machine 2 of the terminal machine via the central computer 3 to the car type color dopdays 12, 12, etc. of the program set transferred on the line. management card 8
, 8 . . . , for example, the management card 8, 8 .
... in one batch for 10 cars, set it in a card reader and have it read.

Then, the read data is checked by the abnormal code detection circuit 72 of the controller 7, and in the case of a misread, the error display 71 causes the read and recheck operation to be performed, and the normal data is stored in the buffer memory 73 and inputted in advance. The plate model data 76 is sorted by the plate sorting decoder 74, and then the corresponding stamped name plate signal is passed through the circuit 6' to turn on the rack indicator light 92 of the name plate 91 of the corresponding rack on the plate shelf 9.

At the same time as the data is transmitted to the plate shelf 9, the data 76 of the plate model and the stamp data matching the corresponding name plate 91 are compared by the stamp data decoder 75, and transmitted to each stamp machine 10, 1 river. The data is then stored in the buffer memory 101.

Therefore, the operator takes out the name plates 91, 91... of the rack whose indicator light 92 of the plate shelf 9 is lit (therefore, there is almost no mistake in the removal work) and presses the sorting name plates 91, 91... Set the carving machine 10 and 1 and press the start button.
