Publication number: 20230030476Abstract: A number of communications for transmitting update data from a control device to a client is decreased, and discrepancies in the content of the latest update data between the control device and the client are prevented. The control device has: an update data monitoring unit for monitoring the latest update data and monitoring whether there has been an update within a predetermined time thereafter; an update data confirmation unit which, if there has been no update in the predetermined time, transmits to the client a request to confirm an update data reception state; a reception state determination unit which, based on the update data reception state in the client and the latest update data, determines whether the client has received the latest update data; and a retransmission instructing unit which, if the client has not received the latest update data, re-transmits the latest update data to the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventor: Kouji SEKIMOTO

Patent number: 11290517Abstract: A display data providing apparatus includes an application server configured to generate display data, and a two-way communication WEB server which is configured to provide the display data generated by the application server to a display device, in response to a request from the display device, and which is configured to perform two-way communication with the display device. The application server includes a data update management unit configured to determine whether to update the display data, and a data generation unit configured to generate the display data if the data update management unit determines that the display data is to be updated. If the data update management unit determines that the display data is to be updated, the two-way communication WEB server provides the display data generated by the data generation unit to the display device, regardless of the request from the display device.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: FANUC CORPORATIONInventors: Kouji Sekimoto, Hideo Ogino

Patent number: 10802464Abstract: The numerical controller controls a machine tool and performs rigid tapping on a cutting surface of a workpiece. The numerical controller determines, based on a first allowable synchronization error between a rotation of a spindle and movement of each axis of a workpiece coordinate system and an inclination angle of a cutting surface, a second allowable synchronization error between a spindle and a feed axis and monitors a synchronization error between the spindle and the feed axis based on a second allowable synchronization error that has been determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Fanuc CorporationInventor: Kouji Sekimoto
