Abstract: A servo control device (20) includes a position feedback unit (21) that performs position feedback control for matching the position of a driven unit to the position command for each of X, Y, and Z axes and a speed feed forward unit (22) that performs speed feed forward control, which is for compensating a delay in the position control for the driven unit due to position feedback control, for each axis. The servo control device (20) changes the position loop gain for each axis to the same value set in advance when the speed feed forward control is OFF, and changes the position loop gain based on the position feedback control to the optimal gain corresponding to each axis when the speed feed forward control of the speed feed forward unit (22) is ON.

Abstract: In order to accomplish the aforementioned and other objects, a resin muffler, according to the invention, is formed of a heat-resistantive synthetic resin having a property of visco-elastic plasticity in a predetermined temperature range. In the visco-elastic temperature range, the motion of the molecular chain segment of the material resin comes to be relaxed to exhibit noise creative pulsating energy dissipation owing to emission as heat energy. Since the resin muffler thus absorbs noise creative energy by dissipation at around the visco-elastic temperature range and transform the energy into the heat energy which may be emitted by radiation.
