摘要:
A numerical control apparatus for controlling a machine having two moving shafts placed in parallel and separate servomotors 6 and 10 for driving one of the shafts as a master shaft and the other as a slave shaft in the same direction and performing return to origin of the above-mentioned master shaft and the slave shaft according to a dog technique. The numerical control apparatus comprises position determination module determining the positional relationship as to whether or not the master shaft is ahead of the slave shaft, and return-to-origin management module performing return to origin of the master shaft and the slave shaft with one dog based on the determined positional relationship, so that the return to origin of the master shaft and the slave shaft can be performed with one dog. Moreover, the return to origin can be performed reliably at parallel positions.

A method and apparatus for calibrating a robot for differences between the actual and predicted positions of a robot chamber with respect to the robot, and for differences between the actual and predicted positions of a processing chamber with respect to the robot. A substrate support on the robot is first moved angularly across a fixed sensor in the robot chamber, to detect the actual position of the sensor in terms of angle, and second is moved radially out across the fixed sensor to detect actual position in terms of radius with respect to a center of rotation. The difference, if any, between the actual and predicted positions of the sensor is used to calibrate a home position of the robot. A similar technique is used to calibrate the robot for any discrepancy between the actual and predicted positions of a processing chamber adjoining the robot chamber.

A system is provided for carrying out a reference point return in a numerical control device. A deceleration dog (31) is arranged at a machine table (1) and includes a reference point (4). A deceleration limit switch (2) is operated when in contact with the deceleration dog (31), to generate a first deceleration signal (DEC1). A portion of the deceleration dog (31) from an end thereof with which the deceleration limit switch (2) first comes into contact to a predetermined distance therefrom is used as a hypothetical dog. A deceleration signal generating means generates a second deceleration signal (DEC1) when the deceleration limit switch (2) is in contact with the hypothetical dog. A reference point return processing means carries out a reference point return based on the first and second deceleration signals (DEC1, DEC2). Accordingly, an adjustment of the deceleration dog becomes unnecessary, and the assembling and maintenance are made easy.

This disclosure relates to a turret lathe having full production capabilities. A turret carrying a plurality of drivable end working tools is selectively indexable and a single drive means is arranged to be coupled to and uncoupled from each drivable tool when indexed to an operative position. The spindle is arranged to be driven at turning speeds for operation with turning tools, and also at feed speeds in conjunction with the end working tools so that irregular contours, slots, indentions, etc. may be machined in the end face and also the peripheries of a workpiece. The end working tools may also perform drilling, boring and tapping operations on the workpiece as it is indexed to position.

A modular system for use with X-Y peripherals is provided. The system includes a master controller operatively connected to one or more slave X-Y peripherals in a network. Different types of slave X-Y peripherals are accommodated by the system, e.g. sewing machines and engravers. Each slave X-Y peripheral has a unique address for independent communication with the master controller. The master controller tracks the functional relationship existing between it and each slave X-Y peripheral using state architecture. Servo control of a tool or head in an X-Y peripheral is also disclosed. The tool is movable in a Z dimension relative to a workpiece residing in an X-Y plane. Method and apparatus are also provided for positioning a carriage of an X-Y peripheral at a home or reference position in one or more dimensions.

A servo motor system for a transportation line with the travel distance of the article predetermined and with a relatively low positioning accuracy. Basically, the system is constructed as an incremental servo motor system in which an incremental movement of the motor is detected, and the incremental movement signal is fed back to a motor driver, which also receives pulse signals from a controller corresponding to a traveling distance to a destination. Only one time after starting the operation of the servo motor system with the article not at the destination point, a stop signal is fed from an external signal generator located at the destination point to the motor driver, which stops the motor there. At this time, a coordinate system of the movable space of the article is established in the controller and the servo motor system is operated as an incremental system from the second time on, without utilizing an external signal generator.

In a numerical control system, a machine tool with an automatic tool changer is provided with an origin detector for generating an origin signal when an NC drive axis for effecting relative movement between a spindle head and a work table in an axial direction of a tool spindle is returned to a machine origin. A numerical controller is connected to the NC dirve axis, the tool changer and when operated in accordance with a numerical control program, controls them so that a series of machinings can be selectively performed on a workpiece on the work table. The numerical controller executes an emergency returning control program when a manual switch is depressed to instruct the returning of the NC drive axis to the machine origin. The numerical controller, when operated in accordance with the returning control program, controls the NC drive axis to discontinue advance movement and then to effect retraction movement and further controls the drive motor to rotate in a selected direction during the retraction movement. The selection of the rotational direction is made by reference to a memory device for storing data indicative of a tool being presently used on the tool spindle. The numerical controller further controls the tool changer in accordance with the returning control program, whereby a tool which is scheduled by the numerical control program to be used firstly, can be set up on the tool spindle to make the system ready for the subsequent restarting.
