  • Patent number: 8593087
    Abstract: If there is static friction, the magnetic pole position estimation is completed at the time when error torque used for magnetic pole position estimation becomes less than the friction, so that there remains magnetic pole error. A problem has been that when the error torque becomes less than a forward static friction, there remains a positive magnetic pole deviation and when the error torque becomes less than a backward static friction, there remains a negative magnetic pole deviation. By shifting in the negative direction and the positive direction initial values for estimating a magnetic pole error in operation sets, a true pole-error estimation value is estimated in the use of a pole-error estimation value having a positive magnetic pole error obtained by the positive shift operation and a negative one obtained by the negative shift operation, which can reduce estimation error due to the static friction.

  • Patent number: 8138693
    Abstract: A computing unit simulates an ideal operation of a vibration excitation actuator by using at least a model operation parameter and the vibration-excitation movable mass data and calculates a parameter corresponding to acceleration/deceleration thrust for moving the vibration-excitation movable mass. A vibration isolation controller determines a control content of a vibration isolation driving unit based on the parameter corresponding to the acceleration/deceleration thrust and controls an operation of the vibration isolation driving unit so that a force canceling a reaction force, which acts on an apparatus when a vibration-excitation movable mass is moved, acts on the apparatus by moving the vibration isolation movable unit.

  • Patent number: 7911172
    Abstract: An accurate load position control is made possible even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low. Load position signal xl is a present-position measurement value of a load, and after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit, a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit. Thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value for driving the load is outputted.

  • Publication number: 20090284208
    Abstract: Even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low, by performing a load position control in which a load position signal is fed back as stable as a semi-closed control system in which only a motor position signal is fed back, an accurate load position control can be made possible. Therefore, regarding a load position signal xl as a present-position measurement value of a load 20, after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit 80, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit 90, by a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor 30, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit 110; thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value that the motor 30 drives the load 20 is configured to be outputted.
