PURPOSE: To prevent abnormality from generating by calculating the velocity command of each shaft of the feeder device by using the press crank angle obtd. by estimation calculation.

CONSTITUTION: When a press velocity reaches a prescribed velocity, the press crank positions of plural past periods are calculated based on the output and the set velocity of a press crank angle detecting means at the time point when the press velocity reaches the set velocity. The present press crank angle is estimation-calculated based on the press crank angle of the stored plural periods and the output of an arithmetic means. Before the press velocity reaches the set velocity, a velocity command of each shaft of the feeder device is calculated directly by using the output of the press crank angle detecting means, and after the press velocity reaches the set velocity, a velocity command of each shaft of the feeder device is calculated by using the estimation-calculated press crank angle. In this way, the malfunction of the feeder device can be prevented.
