  • Patent number: 11953528
    Abstract: A diagnosis system is configured to diagnose an apparatus including a driver device. The system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire waveform data indicating a waveform related to a current to be supplied to the driver device, and a determination unit configured to determine a condition of the apparatus. The determination unit is configured to obtain, based on the waveform data, a change caused by a component of a force in a particular direction applied to the driver device, and to determine the condition of the apparatus based on the obtained change. The diagnosis device determines the condition of the apparatus accurately.

  • Patent number: 10086474
    Abstract: A protective film applying apparatus includes a protective film forming and cleaning unit for forming a protective film on a surface of a wafer and cleaning the protective film away. A coverage state detector detects a coverage state of the protective film, and a controller determines whether or not the protective film has a film thickness falling within a predetermined range. If the controller decides that the thickness of the protective film does not fall in the predetermined range, the controller operates the protective film forming and cleaning unit to clean away the protective film, performs a pretreating process selected depending on the film thickness on the surface, and operates the protective film forming and cleaning unit to form a protective film again on the surface of the wafer.

  • Patent number: 7401978
    Abstract: A linear guiding device where noise characteristics are improved by reducing traveling noise and operability of a slider body is smoothed, and where movement braking can be improved by reducing rolling body passage vibration. Crowning 24 with a curved surface having a predetermined curvature radius R is provided on an end section of a rolling body raceway groove 11 of a bearing block 24. A crowning amount C of the crowning 24 is set to a value C>Hmax greater that the value of a maximum elastic deformation amount Hmax of a rolling body B elastically deformed in a rolling body rolling path 14 by a preload or an external load. By this, even when a large load acts on a bearing block 2A or a large installation error occurs by skewing etc., the rolling body B smoothly rolls without an elastic deformation amount of the rolling body B rolling on the end section side of the rolling body raceway groove 11 becoming greater than the crowning amount C.
