Patent number: 7689300Abstract: When causing manual movement of a moving section of a machine tool, shape data of the moving section is made to move in a movement direction that has been input manually, and it is confirmed whether there is no interference with shape data of a surrounding interfering object. If interference occurs, a position returned a specified distance from the position where interference occurs is made a stop position, the moving section is moved to this stop position, and stopped at that position.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventors: Yuji Naganawa, Yasushi Fukaya, Yoshiichi Ichikawa, Mamoru Yamashita

Patent number: 7408267Abstract: In a position measuring device in which data, which requires buffering, may be held without accommodating a high-capacitance capacitor in the inside of the encoder, a backup current source may be exchanged while the circuits required for the operating capability state remain operable. In addition, current usage during the buffering time may be held low, and the service life of the backup current source may be extended, so that the demand for maintenance may be reduced. The position measuring device may include an encoder main part, arranged to measure the extent of the shift in position of an object to be measured, and a backup current source arranged to supply backup current when main current source, that supplies encoder main part with current, is interrupted. Outside of the encoder main part, an auxiliary current source is provided which, during the exchange of a main battery of the backup current source, undertakes supplying backup current in place of this main battery.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2005Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Dr. Johannes Heidenhain GmbHInventors: Mamoru Yamashita, Hiroshi Haga, Takeshi Yamamoto, Andre Schramm

Patent number: 7391206Abstract: To provide a low-cost magnetic detection circuit, in which the differential detection function accomplished by outputting differential signals may not be lost, and which may be hardly affected by temperature fluctuations and may be resistant to noise, and in which the number of magnetic detection elements may be reduced, and to provide an encoder, the costs of which may be further reduced by using such a magnetic detection circuit for the multi-revolution detection part, etc., a magnetic detection circuit includes a bridge circuit formed by two bridge sections between the current-source terminal and the grounding terminal. The first bridge section and the second bridge section of the bridge circuit include magnetic detection elements MR1, MR2, respectively, and, viewed from the output-signal output points, the magnetic detection elements MR1, MR2 in the two bridge sections are arranged on only one of the sides that include the current-source side and the grounding-terminal side.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2005Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Dr. Johannes Heidenhain GmbHInventors: Hiroshi Haga, Mamoru Yamashita

Patent number: 6622112Abstract: In a tracking apparatus for tracking an object by the use of a plurality of detecting data sets supplied from a detecting device, a velocity presuming portion is provided together with a position presuming portion. The position presuming portion finds a presumed position of the object at the latest detecting time of the detecting data sets by the use of the latest detecting time and regression curves found on the basis of the detecting data sets. The velocity presuming portion finds a presumed velocity of the object at the latest detecting time by the use of the regression curves and at least one of former detecting times different from the latest detecting time.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignees: NEC Corporation, Nippon Avionics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken Kinoshita, Mamoru Yamashita, Tadashi Nakamura
