Abstract:
The present invention relates to a machine tool and a corresponding process for machining a workpiece by means of one or more tools controlled by means of control data, the machine tool comprising at least 5 simultaneously controllable axes. A control device being suited to control the tool supported in a support means by means of the control data along a tool path to remove material from the workpiece clamped in a clamping means. The machine tool being suited to machine a first workpiece to provide the first workpiece with a first gearing, the first workpiece being a counter piece to a second workpiece having a second gearing. The machine tool also comprising a test system suited to determine after and/or during the machining of the first workpiece on the machine tool whether a current geometry, in particular a current tooth flank geometry and/or current tooth gap geometry, of the first gearing of the first workpiece differs from a target gearing geometry, in particular from a target tooth flank geometry and/or target tooth gap geometry, of the first gearing of the first workpiece.
Abstract:
A servo controller for synchronously controlling a master driving source for driving a driving shaft and a slave driving source for driving a driven shaft, having a position control section that performs a position control based on a positional deviation which is a difference between a position command value given to the slave driving source and a feedback value detected from the slave driving source, an operational section that calculates a synchronization error which is a difference of the positional deviation between the master driving source and the slave driving source, and a correction data calculating section that calculates first correction data for correcting the positional deviation of the slave driving source.
Abstract:
To correct the tooth profile error of a ground gear, the wheel angle of a threaded grinding wheel is modified by dressing the threaded grinding wheel by a dressing device. To correct the helix form deviation of a ground gear, namely, to modify the helix angle of the gear, synchronization between the moving motion in the Z-direction of the threaded grinding wheel and the rotary motion of a table for installation of the gear is adjusted. When the helix form deviation is corrected by adjustment of the synchronization, a tooth profile change inevitably occurs. In consideration of the tooth profile change, correction of the tooth profile error by dressing is made.
Abstract:
A workpiece is rotated by a master motor and a tool is linearly moved by a slave motor to cut a thread in the workpiece. Position feedback of the master motor is multiplied by a coefficient K and the result used as the position command of the slave motor. Provision is made of an angle synchronization learning control unit for storing one pattern cycle's worth of the correction data of the threading and adding the same to the position deviation. This control unit stores one pattern cycle's worth of the correction data corresponding to the position feedback of the master motor. The position is converted to the correction data corresponding to the time at that time based on the stored correction data to find the correction data and this is added to the position deviation.
Abstract:
Numeric controller (3) for controlling a rotating mechanism (1) having a rotor rotated by a linearly moving driving source has a rotating position command means (311) for transmitting angular position commanding value (&thgr;), a radius setting means (312) for setting rotation radius (R) of the rotor, and a linear position operation means (313) for operating linear position command value (L) of the driving source based on the angular position command value (&thgr;) and the rotation radius (R). Since the linear position operation means (313) is provided, the linear position command value (L) can be calculated to drive the driving source only by commanding angular position command value (&thgr;), thereby facilitating to construct programs inputted to the numeric controller.
Abstract:
A basic spiral operation of a tool is controlled by storing, in a controller, an automatic operation program of a threading cycle which regulates the basic spiral operation of the tool corresponding to a thread shape by specifying a spindle revolving speed RC, a thread lead ZR and a thread cutting finish point Z2 or the like. A depth of cut by the tool is determined by an operator who operates a handle of a manual pulse generator to cut the work and confirms the cutting conditions.
Abstract:
Memory technologies for storing filter samples include RAMs and CCDs. Adaptive memory capability and memory servo capability improve memory characteristics. In a RAM embodiment, a detector is used to detect a memory address condition and to control the memory and the memory address register in response thereto. In a CCD embodiment, a detector is used to detect a memory reference signal and to refresh the memory signals in response thereto. Improved memory refresh, memory performance, and memory capacity enhance system characteristics. Improved memory architecture provides advantages of increased speed, lower cost, and efficiency of implementation. Information stored in memory can be scanned out at a rate greater than the addressing rate associated with the memories. This permits higher speed operation with lower cost memories. Use of an output buffer, such as a FIFO, permits normalization of memory clock rates.
Abstract:
A filter processor provides improved capabilities and reduced complexity by inputting and processing lower resolution signals and by generating higher resolution filtered signals. In a preferred embodiment; an incremental filter processor generates incremental input signals, performs incremental processing, and generates multi-bit filtered signals. Input signals are received from radar, sonar, seismic, or other sources; are processed by the filter processor to generate filtered signals; and can be post processed by a post processor. In a preferred embodiment, the input circuit is a serial input and parallel output circuit, such as a delay line or a CCD; the filter processor is an incremental fast Fourier transform processor; and the post processor is an incremental frequency domain correlator. Other post processors include a frequency domain integrator and an RSS post processor to convert coherent signal samples to noncoherent signal samples.

Abstract:
An incremental digital filter provides high speed and low cost capability such as for performing fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), correlations, convolutions, and other digital filter operations. One configuration operates at microwave sample rates, computing a complete 512-point FFT in 0.2 microseconds for an effective sample rate of 2.56 gigahertz. High speed and low cost are derived from a parallel pipeline architecture in combination with incremental processing. Parallel pipeline architecture provides extremely high speed while the incremental mechanization provides a simple arrangement with a low component count for low cost. The incremental nature of the processor provides an integrating type mechanization, where integration-after-transformation yields high processing gain for signal-to-noise-ratio enhancement.High data rate input and output mechanizations are provided to accommodate the high processing rates. An improved input mechanization involves analog signal to incremental digital conversion. An improved output mechanization involves integration after filtering for data rate reductions and for signal enhancement and also involves a bus output structure for multiplexing of output parameters.
