  • Patent number: 8653765
    Abstract: In a method and module for controlling rotation of a motorized spindle driven by a driving unit, a sensing unit senses vibration of the spindle and generates a voltage signal corresponding to the vibration of the spindle. A processing unit receives the voltage signal from the sensing unit, generates an adjusting ratio equal to a reference voltage corresponding to a predetermined vibration level of the spindle by the voltage signal upon detecting that the voltage signal is greater than the reference voltage and is less than a predetermined threshold voltage that is greater than the reference voltage, and outputs a control signal corresponding to the adjusting ratio to the driving unit such that the driving unit reduces a rotation speed of the spindle by the adjusting ratio in response to the control signal from the processing unit.

    Abstract: In a method and module for controlling rotation of a motorized spindle driven by a driving unit, a sensing unit is adapted for sensing vibration of the spindle and generates a voltage signal corresponding to the vibration of the spindle. A processing unit is coupled to the sensing unit for receiving the voltage signal therefrom, and outputs a control signal corresponding to the voltage signal upon detecting that the voltage signal is greater than a reference voltage corresponding to a predetermined vibration level of the spindle, such that the driving unit adjusts a rotation speed of the spindle in response to the control signal from the processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20090245961
    Abstract: A machining apparatus includes a support frame, first and second workbenches, and a tool-mounting unit. The support frame includes a first horizontal frame part, and a second horizontal frame part disposed above the first horizontal frame part. The first and second workbenches are mounted slidably on the first horizontal frame part of the support frame, and is slidable relative to the support frame in a first horizontal direction. The tool-mounting unit is mounted slidably on the second horizontal frame part of the support frame, and is slidable relative to the support frame in a second horizontal direction transverse to the first horizontal direction.
