Abstract: Provided is an instrument pedal device that can be quieter when operated. According to the present invention, a pedal is rotatably supported on a base part by a first shaft. A rotation part is rotatably supported on the base part by a second shaft. A connection part is rotatably supported on the pedal by a third shaft. The connection part is rotatably supported on the rotation part by a fourth shaft. Urging force that is for making the pedal, as rotated from an initial position, return to the initial position is applied by a spring. The pedal can rotate from the initial position to a lowermost position in which the second shaft, the third shaft, and the fourth shaft are in the same plane. The urging force of the spring increases the closer the pedal gets to the lowermost position.

Abstract: A percussion instrument and a tension applying method are provided. A frame member where an outer edge of a membrane member is connected is arranged at the other side in the axial direction of a frame, and the frame member is tightened radially inward by a tension ring. The frame member has a predetermined elasticity, and a diameter of the frame member is reduced by a tightening force of the tension ring; thus, the tension may be applied to the membrane member by reducing the diameter of the frame member. That is, an edge portion of the membrane member may be uniformly pressed radially inward over the entire circumference by reducing the diameter of the frame member, and thus the tension may be uniformly applied to the entire membrane member.

Abstract: A machine tool is disclosed which can suppress resonance of an in-machine robot even when vibration occurs during machining of a workpiece. Vibration of the in-machine robot is detected by a vibration sensor of the in-machine robot. When the vibration of the in-machine robot becomes greater than or equal to a threshold during machining of the workpiece, a controller changes a natural frequency of the in-machine robot by exchanging an end effector of the in-machine robot or by changing an orientation of the in-machine robot, to thereby suppress resonance of the in-machine robot.

Abstract: The collecting mechanism includes a holding unit and a controller. The holding unit has a pair of arms, and can sandwich a machined portion with the pair of arms. The holding unit can be switched between a holding state and a standby state. In the holding state, the pair of arms is closed to be in contact with the circumferential surface of the machined portion to sandwich the machined portion. In the standby state, the pair of arms is opened so as to stay near the circumferential surface of the machined portion with a space between the arms and the circumferential surface of the machined portion. The controller monitors whether cutting-off of the machined portion has been completed to keep the holding unit in the standby state before completion of the cutting-off and to switch the holding unit from the standby state to the holding state at the time of completion of the cutting-off.

Abstract: A calibration system able to calibrate mechanical parameters of a wrist part by a simpler manner is provided. The calibration system utilizes a target fastened at a predetermined position with respect to the joint closest to a hand of a robot and an imaging device set around the robot so as to calibrate the parameters of a mechanical model representing the wrist part of the robot. The posture of the target is changed from a predetermined initial position to generate a plurality of preliminary positions. Using these preliminary positions as starting points, the end point position of the robot whereby the target becomes a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the imaging device on the image obtained by capturing an image of the target is calculated. The calibration system uses the calculated end point position as the basis to calibrate the mechanical parameters of the wrist part.
