Abstract: An apparatus for preventing torque variation in a digitally controlled servomotor. Electrical angles .theta..sub.1 and .theta..sub.2 of the exciting magnetic field or the armature coil at respective timings of detecting and controlling a load current are obtained. The current is dq-transformed with .theta..sub.1 and inverse-dq-transformed with .theta..sub.2. As a result, even if there is a displacement of the actual electrical angle owing to the rotation of the armature during computing, it is possible to execute accurate current control. Further, at the time of calibration of the control system, the load currents are detected to be dq-transformed. From the d-axis components and q-axis components, values related to the offset and the amplification factor of the current detection systems are calculated. During the actual operation of the servomotor, the detected current value is corrected using the values. Further, the detection of the load current is performed plural times in one control cycle.

Abstract: A feed control apparatus wherein a servomotor control device responsive to feed pulses distributed from a numerical controller controls a d.c. servomotor to advance a grinding wheel carriage of a grinding machine through the rotation of a feed screw successsively at a speed-up feed rate, a rapid feed rate, a slow-down feed rate and a grinding feed rate. A detection device is provided, which outputs a velocity checking signal to an abnormality confirmation device when the carriage reaches a velocity checking point defined within a slow-down feed range. When confirming that the feed rate of the carriage has exceeded a reference feed rate lower than the rapid feed rate, the abnormality confirmation device applies a stop signal to an emergency stop control circuit in response to the velocity checking signal, so that the rotation of the servomotor is immediately discontinued.
