Patent number: 9317028Abstract: An electric motor control device for performing tandem control for driving one movable component includes, for each electric motor, a position controller, a speed controller, and a current controller. Further, each electric motor also has a preload controller for adding a preload torque to a torque command Tm calculated by the speed controller, and to a torque command Ts calculated by the speed controller. The preload controller calculates a minimum necessary preload torque for eliminating backlash in accordance with a position of the movable component.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: OKUMA CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Sakai, Akiyoshi Satake

Publication number: 20130015742Abstract: A synchronous motor 100 includes a rotor 20 having a permanent magnet 26 on the surface of or inside the rotor, a stator 10 made of a soft magnetic material and having tooth members T1 to T18 and slots S1 to S18, and element coils 11, 12 wound around each of the tooth members T1 to T18 as concentrated windings and arranged in multiple layers along the extending direction of the tooth members T1 to T18. The element coils 11, 12 are provided three coils each for each phase in a circumferential direction to form rotating direction windings 101 to 206 for each phase. For each phase, the rotating direction windings 101 to 206 are displaced from each other by one slot in the rotating direction between adjacent layers. As a result, torque ripples are reduced in motors using concentrated windings.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: OKUMA CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshimitsu Inoue, Akiyoshi Satake

Patent number: 7906923Abstract: A control apparatus for a reluctance type synchronous motor wherein slit-shaped gaps or a nonmagnetic material are included within a rotor to provide level differences of the magnetic reluctance in a rotating direction, and a permanent magnet is included at a portion of the slit-shaped gaps or the nonmagnetic material to provide magnetic polarities at a rotor surface. The control apparatus includes a q-axis current calculation unit, a d-axis current calculation unit, a speed coefficient calculation unit, a q-axis current compensation value calculation unit, and an output unit which outputs a compensated q-axis current command value in which the calculated q-axis current compensation value is added to the q-axis current command value.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventor: Akiyoshi Satake

Patent number: 6208108Abstract: A controller for a reluctance type synchronous motor. When field current control depends solely on a rotor speed, large power consumption and heat generation of a motor may be caused. Also, when a field current is small, torque consumption becomes small, resulting in a prolonged acceleration time. To address the above problems, there is provided a section for generating a field current command SIFC using a field current compensation coefficient SKF having been obtained based on a torque command STC. With this arrangement, a large field current SIFC flows when a torque is needed, and a small field current SIFC flows when torque is not needed. There is also provided a section for generating an armature current command SIAC using armature current command compensation SKA having been obtained based on a field current command SIFC. With this arrangement, variation of a torque constant due to variation of a field current is converted into an armature current command SIAC based on a field current command SIFC.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1999Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventors: Masayuki Nashiki, Akiyoshi Satake

Patent number: 5936372Abstract: In an armature current limit value calculator section, limitation is applied to a pre-limitation torque command ST in correspondence with a presently detected speed SPD, to calculate a torque command STC. Meanwhile, in a field current calculator section 12, a pre-correction field current command value SF is decreased in correspondence with the detected speed SPD when the speed is large. In addition, a coefficient K.tau. which increases when the torque command is large is calculated on the basis of the pre-limitation torque command ST at this time. Further, a field current command is calculated from an equation SFC=K.tau.*SF. A current command calculator section 3 prepares a current command on the basis of the torque command STC and the field current command SFC supplied, and drives an electric motor 5 via a current control section 4.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1997Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventors: Masayuki Nashiki, Akiyoshi Satake

Patent number: 5903080Abstract: A reluctance type synchronous motor comprises: a stator with a plurality of slots placed at an even pitch angle wherein stored inside each slot is a stator winding for creating stator magnetic poles with a predetermined phase alternating current being supplied thereto. A rotor sustained by a shaft and changing magnetic reluctance in its circumferential direction by inclusion inside of a plurality of magnetic isolating portions creates desired magnetic poles. At least one of the central angles between magnetic poles created at the rotor is shifted from the other central angles so that torque ripples during rotation can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventors: Masayuki Nashiki, Akiyoshi Satake

Patent number: 5345133Abstract: High permeability material plates used to construct the stators and the rotor of a motor are formed of the same material, thus reducing the number of fabrication processes and material cost. Also, the rotor containing permanent magnets is cylindrical and two stators are arranged around the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the permanent magnets, respectively, thereby increasing efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1993Date of Patent: September 6, 1994Assignee: Okuma CorporationInventor: Akiyoshi Satake
