  • Patent number: 11962734
    Abstract: In an image processing system, when a user logs in to an image processing apparatus to use a scanning service, the image processing apparatus transmits login information to a relay server, and the relay server transmits scan setup data and destination address data to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus prescans a document to identify a document format, and automatically sets scan setup data (properties), based on the identified format and according to the sent scan setup data, so as to execute scanning.

  • Publication number: 20240075537
    Abstract: A tool driving device for cutting includes a spindle and an electric motor. A user carries the tool driving device by hand to use the tool driving device. The spindle has a holder for holding a tool for the cutting. The holder is disposed at a distal portion of the spindle. The electric motor rotates the spindle. A thrust bearing is attached to a housing of the electric motor. The spindle is contacted to the thrust bearing so that cutting resistance in a rotation axis direction of the spindle, transmitted from the tool to the spindle, is applied to the thrust bearing.

  • Publication number: 20240075536
    Abstract: A tool driving device for hole processing includes a spindle, an electric motor, a guide, an electric actuator, a sensor and a controller. The spindle has a holder for holding a tool for the hole processing. The holder is disposed at a distal portion of the spindle. The electric motor rotates the spindle. The guide has a positioning member for positioning the tool driving device to the workpiece. The electric actuator advances and retreats the spindle relatively to the guide in a rotation axis direction of the spindle. The sensor measures cutting resistance transmitted from the tool to the spindle. The controller is configured to control the electric motor and the electric actuator based on the cutting resistance measured by the sensor so that a rotating speed and a feeding speed of the spindle become a rotating speed and a feeding speed according to the cutting resistance.

  • Publication number: 20240066675
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a tool driving device includes a drill chuck, a motor, a casing and a vibrating mechanism. The drill chuck holds a drill. The motor is configured to rotate the drill chuck. The casing houses the motor. The vibrating mechanism is configured to periodically reciprocate the drill chuck relatively to the casing in a tool axis direction during rotation of the drill chuck. The vibrating mechanism is configured to distance the drill chuck from the casing at a first speed smaller than a second speed for bringing the drill chuck close to the casing.

  • Publication number: 20180256434
    Abstract: A McKibben type actuator capable of generating at least the same contraction force as that of the related art with an application of a pressure lower than that required for those in the related art is provided. In an McKibben type actuator 10 including an inner tube 11 configured to be expanded when being pressurized, and an outer sleeve 12 covering an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 11 to limit an expansion of the inner tube 11, the outer sleeve 12 being configured to convert a radial expansion of the inner tube 11 to a longitudinal contraction of the inner tube 11, the inner tube 11 is formed of a resilient material having an expansion rate of at least 100%.
