An up-down counter is fed pulses generated manually and/or automatically from either or any of two or more command sources. Gating circuitry ahead of the up-down counter may be used to enable counts from only one source at a time. The output of the counter represents the magnitude of the parameter to be controlled. The purpose is to transfer control of a parameter to any of several command sources without changing the value of the parameter, thereby achieving "stepless" switching. Only one counter is needed regardless of the number of command sources, no synchronizing circuitry is required, and switching is provided with no steps or delays. Multiple command sources may be active simultaneously when command source input gating is not used ahead of the up-down parameter magnitude counter.

A robotic arm is driven by a servomotor which is controlled through position and speed control loops. The position and speed control loops are adaptable in response to a flexible position control. Upon receipt of a flexible control command, a position gain and a proportional gain of the speed control loop are lowered in accordance with a set degree of flexibility. The output of an integrator of the speed control loop is also limited to a set clamp value. As a result, a torque command for controlling the servomotor never achieves an expressly large value even if a position deviation increases. In case an obstacle is placed in the transfer path of the robotic arm, the arm can be moved by human power to avoid the obstacle.

An automated control system and method for control of hydraulically positionable machine tools is disclosed. A servo motor is coupled to a servo valve spool such that the angular displacement of the motor shaft directly corresponds to the resultant rotation of the spool, which in turn threadably engages a precision lead screw fixed to a tool slide. In the preferred embodiment, a position encoder provides signals indicative of the angular displacement of the motor shaft. The position encoder signals are fed back to an electronic central processor which controls motor operation. The controller is programmed with the lead screw pitch information, and a series of instructions to advance or reverse the spool along the lead screw in a series of movements precisely corresponding to the desired movements of the slide.

A safety arrangement for an adjusting installation of a seat adapted to be actuated manually or programmed, especially of a vehicle seat, with adjusting motors and with an electronic circuit which gives priority to the manual seat adjustment over a programmed seat adjustment, which, in case of a relay or adjusting motor defect, opens up the corresponding circuit, which in case of a simultaneous actuation of several position buttons, interrupts a programmed seat adjustment and which after interruption of the energy supply permits a programmed seat adjustment only after renewed storage of a seat position.

A robot operating method capable of easily performing manual correction of a previously taught teaching point during an automatic robot operation, and of accurately and effectively performing a desired robot operation without the need of employing a visual sensor. After switching is made from an automatic operation mode to a manual operation mode in response to reading of a predetermined command code from a program (S1, S2), a robot tool positioned at a first teaching position is moved to a first working position on a workpiece by a control apparatus which responds to an operation of a remote operation board by an operator, so as to compensate for a dislocation of the teaching point attributable to a positional dislocation of the workpiece (S3), and then a correction data indicative of the results of a manual adjustment is calculated in response to supply of an external signal generated by an operator's operation and is stored in a memory (S4, S5). After completion of robot working at the first working position, second and later teaching points are sequentially corrected based on the correction data in response to reading of a position correcting command code from the program, whereby the robot working is accurately carried out at second and later working positions on the workpiece.

Grinding apparatus and control system for forming non-circular punching tools comprising a grinding wheel having a cylindrical grinding surface, a rotary table with its axis parallel to the grinding wheel axis and carrying orthogonally movable slides such that one slide at a time may be actuated to generate successive flat sides of a punching tool, the table axis being positionable to define a center of rotation for an arcuate face of the punching tool which is generated upon rotation of the table, a fixture for the grinding wheel dressing tool serving to automatically define the location of the grinding wheel surface relative to the axis of the rotary table, and a computer-controlled digital system which senses the shape to be formed, parameters of the shape to be formed and which causes the slides or rotary table to be properly actuated so as to grind a punching tool of appropriate size and shape.
摘要:
A system for compensating for the backlash of a drive mechanism of an actuator that can be controlled manually or switched to automatic, with the starting position indeterminate. The actuator includes a position transducer for the actuator. Impulses are supplied to the drive mechanism to energize the drive mechanism in discrete steps in a first direction. In response to a change in the actuator position being sensed by the position transducer, the supply of impulses to the drive mechanism is terminated. Because of backlash in gearing included in the drive mechanism, each of the impulses to the drive mechanism does not necessarily result in a change in the actuator position. In response to movement of the actuator being sensed the drive mechanism is energized in a direction opposite to the first direction through a distance equal to the sum of the backlash and the amount of movement of the actuator detected by the position transducer.

An automatic control including a memory is provided to be loaded with positional data for the automatic control of a cycle of motions of preferably a plurality of power members. The speed reading the data in and out is freely selectable. Accordingly programming a cycle of motions may be performed in a slow motion process, whereas the speed of reading out the data is selected such that an optimum operational speed is obtained. In addition to the automatic speed control a manual control is provided to interrupt the cycle motion of the automatic control to manually adjust the position or the power member. In returning to the automatic control the further cycle of motion is taken up again where it has been interrupted.

A numerically controlled machine tool is disclosed which includes a numerical control system having a numerical controller and a sub controller provided with a setting means for setting the partial variation to a series of feeding motions of a movable member of the machine tool. When part of the series of feeding motions of the movable member of the machine tool is required to be varied by a special function command issued by the numerical controller, the sub controller drives and controls the part of the series of feeding motions of the movable member by cooperation with the numerical controller, on the basis of the partial variation set by the setting means.
