A stage positioning apparatus including a stage and a servo control system. The servo control system includes a compensation circuit. The compensation circuit determines the cosine of the angle between the off-axis drive bar and the direction of travel. A voltage, proportional to the cosine, is multiplied by the on-axis drive error signal to develop an off-axis compensation voltage. Each drive's new error signal is compensated by its respective off-axis compensation voltage.

A system for compensating for spatial errors of a movable machinery having a three-dimensional spatial mechanism includes a command generator for generating a commanded coordinate value in the space of command; a position controller for operating in response to the commanded coordinates value as an input; a position detector for detecting the operating position set by the position controller on the space of motion as a coordinate value of the space of command; and a spatial error compensating unit for compensating for spatial errors between the space of command and the space of motion contained in the output coordinate value of the position detector, outputting a compensated coordinate value as a measured value and correcting the commanded coordinate value by use of the compensated coordinate value, and the spatial error compensation and the motion control on the compensated space of command can be realized by use of only one system of function generator.

A two-dimensional positioning mechanism, comprising a moveable platform, a first translating device connected to the platform to move the platform in a first direction, and a second translating device connected to the platform to move the platform in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The first translating device includes first and second links, each of which is pivotally connected to the platform, and a first linear actuator pivotally connected to the first and second links to move those links in the first direction. The first and second links, the moveable platform and the linear actuator form a pivotal parallelogram structure to maintain the orientation of the platform substantially constant during movement thereof. Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes a control system connected to the first and second translating devices to control those translating devices to move the platform from a first position to a second position. This control system preferably also controls the translating devices to move the platform on a predetermined path as the platform moves from one position to the next.

A digitizing method in which a distance from a model surface is measured and stored at regular intervals of time or distance to obtain digital profile data of the model. A specified profile for correction is provided on a part of the model, and by using the specified mode, correction data such as a distance correction coefficient is obtained before carrying out the digitizing. Digitizing data obtained by carrying out the digitizing is corrected by the correction data. The correction data is obtained based on the material and surface condition of the actual model, and therefore, the digitizing data can be accurately corrected.

When a move command (data indicating to move a movable unit from one position to a target position) is issued, a movable unit is displaced in response to the move command. A target trajectory which is an aggregation of target positions varying with time is determined such that a residual vibration of a structure at and after the stop of displacement of the movable unit is minimized. Target positions at various times during the displacement of the movable unit are generated based on the target trajectory. The target positions at various times are supplied to a control unit which feeds back an actual position of the movable unit and produces a drive signal which makes a difference from the target position zero. The drive signal is supplied to an actuator so that a drive force is transmitted from the actuator to the movable unit which follows a change in the target position. As a result, the movable unit is moved to the target position and the vibration at and after the stop of movement is suppressed.

Coating defects are overcome which occur in the prior art as a result of positional tolerance variations between an automatic spraying device and a part, as the part, e.g., an automobile body, is transported along a conveying system into the spray booth of a coating station during a series coating operation using lacquering robots to apply paint. The distance between at least one fixed reference point on the coating apparatus and a reference point on the automobile body is measured during a preparatory coating operation and stored in the processing program of an operation controlling computer as a standard reference distance value. The reference distance is remeasured for each automobile body during subsequent series coating operations and then compared to the standard reference distance value. The processing program then corrects the movements of the lacquering robots as a function of the calculated deviation to elimate the coating defects arising out of positional tolerance variations.

A system for positioning a movable body for a processing machine. A lead screw is rotatably and axially shiftably supported and engaged with the movable body. The lead screw is rotated by a motor to move the movable body. A hydrostatic thrust bearing is provided for preventing axial movement of the lead screw. The lead screw is finely moved in the axial direction by controlling the pressure difference of oil supplied to the thrust bearing to position the movable body.

A precision machining system for machining a workpiece into a desired surface with two tool driving units. A first drive unit moves the tool along at least two axes to shape the workpiece similar to a desired surface. A second drive unit moves the tool along one of the axes in a very finely controlled manner. A measuring unit measures the tool position with an accuracy higher than that to which the first drive unit can respond. A signal producing unit is responsive to the measuring unit for producing a control signal for controlling the operation of the second drive unit while the first drive unit is operating.

A dynamic error monitoring system has been provided which measures the instantaneous value of a positionable machine member by direct, instantaneous and continuous comparison between movement command pulses of a discrete value with pulses of the same discrete value from an independent distance measuring device such as command pulses from a numerical control unit and pulses from an interferometer indicative of the positionable member movement from a reference position. Command pulses from the numerical control unit are compared with the laserinterferometer-derived pulses in a bidirectional counter following suitable scaling, steering, and anticoincidence testing. The net count output of the counter representing the dynamic error is converted to an analog signal that is displayed on a recorder. The system gives a continuous record of the dynamic machine tool position over the entire length of the positionable member travel as well as the static positioning error.
摘要:
A digital processing system is disclosed including manual controls to specify a process (step-by-step) and responsive means to execute the process and formulate an operating program of the process. The controls are related to the steps of the process and coding techniques are unnecessary. Signal generators provide digital signals responsive to the manual controls, which signals control a machine tool (in the disclosed embodiment) and are provided in a suitable form for recording. The system may be controlled to delay recording until the propriety of a step is verified by its performance. Means are included for predicting and accomplishing dimensions on the basis of various simple specifications, as for generating arcs and multiple dimension motions with allowance for tool diameter. On completion of a recorded program of operations, the system is operable under such control.
