Patent number: 7659681Abstract: A servomotor in a numerical controller is controlled by automatically switching to either pressure control or position control in association with the command which is smaller from among a command obtained by performing pressure feedback control and a command obtained by performing position feedback control. When switched to pressure control while moving according to a movement command, the output of the movement command is terminated halfway, and the command in the next block is executed, and pressure control of the next command is immediately started. As a result, a wasteful time is eliminated, and a cycle time of the operation can be shortened.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Fanuc LtdInventors: Yasushi Onishi, Tetsuo Hishikawa, Keisuke Tsujikawa

Publication number: 20090230910Abstract: The numerical controller has function to switch between pressure control and position control, and comprises a numerical control unit and a servo control unit. While the servo control unit is controlling pressure, a servo position deviation amount corresponding to current actual speed of a control axis is set in the servo control unit. After the servo control unit switches to position control from pressure control, a number of pulses required for deceleration and stopping is output to an acceleration/deceleration processing unit of the numerical control unit according to an acceleration/deceleration time constant which is preset. The acceleration/deceleration processing unit outputs a moving amount for each distribution period to the servo control unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: FANUC LTDInventors: Tetsuo HISHIKAWA, Keisuke Tsujikawa

Patent number: 7331208Abstract: A die cushion controller uses position control to position die cushion members for placement of a metal sheet. A pressing process starts and the upper die is lowered. When a position detector detects a position at which the upper die touches the sheet metal, the die cushion controller switches over from position control to pressure control and applies a preset pressure to the sheet metal. When the position detector detects that the upper die has risen to a preset position, the die cushion controller clears the positional deviation accumulated in position control to zero, then moves the die cushion members to preset positions and holds them there.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2005Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Fanuc LtdInventors: Kentaro Fujibayashi, Tetsuo Hishikawa, Keisuke Tsujikawa, Noboru Hirose

Patent number: 7301297Abstract: An ‘interval’ in which the synchronization status between the movable axes subject to synchronous control is monitored, an equation between the movable axes in the ‘interval’, and an ‘allowable displacement’ for the positional relationship obtained with this equation and the actual positional relationship are set in advance. The ‘start condition’ and ‘termination condition’ for synchronous status verification processing are set with the master position and the like. When the start condition for synchronous status verification processing is satisfied, it is detected whether or not the actual position and the position obtained with the equation are within the range of the allowable displacement based on the position of the movable axes. If not within the range of the allowable displacement, operation set as ‘operation to be executed when the allowable displacement is exceeded’ is executed.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Fanuc LtdInventors: Kentaro Fujibayashi, Tetsuo Hishikawa, Keisuke Tsujikawa

Publication number: 20060169018Abstract: Die cushion control device that implements die cushion control while making a switch between position control and pressure control by using servomotors, and reduces the impact caused by a collision between a press axis and a die cushion axis during position control. Die cushion members are controlled by servomotors Md. The changeover switch is connected to the “a”-side, to thereby control the position (velocity) of the servomotors Md by commands from a numerical controller and control the position of the die cushion members. During position control, the output torque of the servomotors Md is limited by torque limit means. During position control, even if the press axis hits the die cushion members due to erroneous setting, wrong operation or the like, the servomotors Md merely output only a limited torque or less, so that impact force is reduced, which prevents damage to the die cushion members and the press axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: FANUC LTDInventors: Tetsuo Hishikawa, Kentaro Fujibayashi, Keisuke Tsujikawa, Noboru Hirose
