Abstract: A numerical control apparatus according to the present invention is such that when a machine tool using a spindle motor (5) is commanded to perform a reference-point return operation and positional control of a tool or the like is carried out in response to this command, spindle reference-point return is made possible merely by applying the reference-point return command to a spindle amplifier (SPA) which drives the spindle motor (5). In accordance with the invention, a grid-shift quantity (P2) decided by the relationship between the spindle motor (5) and the object controlled thereby is set in advance on the side of the spindle amplifier (SPA) before numerical control unit (CNC) operation of the machine tool. The grid-shift quantity (P2) is added to position data (P3), which corresponds to the distance from a machine reference point to a machining starting point transferred before a fixed-position stopping command.

Abstract: A spindle orientation control apparatus according to the invention provides a spindle (4) for which a magnetic sensor senses the spindle and outputs stopping-position proximity (LS) signal and a stopping position determination (MS). The spindle (4) is coupled via gear or belt (5) to a spindle motor (2) wherein the spindle is controlled to stop at a fixed position based on a velocity command conforming to velocity of the spindle motor (4). Velocity pulses for detecting the rotational velocity of the motor can be employed as position pulses. A velocity command value (VCMD) can be reduced by an amount corresponding to a number of fed back velocity pulses a. The velocity value is clamped at a predetermined level when the velocity command value of the spindle attains a predetermined level until a final changeover. The final the spindle changeover for making equal stop-position decision signal (MS) signal and the velocity command value when an edge of the stop-position proximity signal (LS) signal is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine tool having two spindles driven and controlled by servomotors (1), (2) by supplying velocity control circuits (3), (4) with velocity commands (Vcmd.sub.1), (Vcmd.sub.2) for independently controlling the rotational velocities of first and second spindles. The spindles of a machine tool such as a lathe are controlled for synchronous operation so that the two spindles can be controlled in order to machine a workpiece efficiently. According to the invention, synchronous operation is executed efficiently upon achieving coincidence between the rotational angles of the spindles so that a workpiece can be regripped during rotation.
