  • Patent number: 11626824
    Abstract: The identifier for identifying the slider is given to this slider. In contrast, the control signal transmitted to the plurality of linear drivers indicates the position command value and the speed command value for the slider and the identifier of this slider in association with each other. The linear driver reads the identifier for identifying the slider from this slider overlapping the assigned region thereof and supplies the current corresponding to the position command value and the speed command value associated with this identifier by the control signal to the linear motor stators. In this way, it is possible to cause the linear driver corresponding to the assigned region, in which the slider is present, to precisely drive the slider.
