  • Publication number: 20230204457
    Abstract: Provided is a diagnosis device that can determine the status of an anomaly besides the presence of an anomaly of a driven member. The diagnosis device is configured to diagnose a driven member having a rotary shaft, the driven member is rotated by driving of an externally mounted motor, and the diagnosis device calculates an estimated torque resistance of a combination of the driven member and the motor based on actual operation data obtained by driving the driven member by using the motor and finds a driven member and motor three-dimensional table that is a three-dimensional table of angles, angular velocities, and estimated torque resistances, finds a reference-state three-dimensional table that is a three-dimensional table of angles, angular velocities, and estimated torque resistances in a reference state, and calculates a determination three-dimensional table from a difference between the driven member and motor three-dimensional table and the reference-state three-dimensional table.

  • Patent number: 10120396
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to further improve the accuracy of position control of a machine apparatus. A control device for a machine apparatus is equipped with: a speed control unit for calculating a torque command for the machine apparatus; a friction estimation unit for calculating an estimated value of the friction force produced by the machine apparatus; an amplitude phase adjustment unit for calculating a corrected friction value by multiplying the proportional gain by the friction force estimated by the friction estimation unit; and a correction unit for correcting the torque command by using the corrected friction value calculated by the amplitude phase adjustment unit. Furthermore, the proportional gain is determined on the basis of the gain properties of the transfer function of the machine apparatus from the position command to the position deviation.

  • Publication number: 20100264315
    Abstract: This invention provides a hydrocarbon concentration measuring apparatus, which, even when the concentration and composition of hydrocarbons contained in an object gas to be measured vary, can measure the concentration of the hydrocarbons with good response and good accuracy, and a hydrocarbon measuring method. Light with a waveband including a common absorption region, which is absorbed by a single or a plurality of chemical species, is applied to the object gas by an infrared irradiation equipment. The light applied to the object gas is detected with a line sensor. The absorbance in the common absorption region of the object gas is computed with an analyzer based on the detected light. The sum of concentrations of chemical species, which absorb light in the waveband in the common absorption region, in the single or plurality of chemical species contained in the object gas, is computed with the analyzer based on the absorbance.
