An aging corrector 30 suppresses low frequency vibrations by controlling a time constant Tp of the first-order delay circuit 17 in such a way as to increase the time constant when a vibratory state of the driven member is detected.

Abstract: In a position control apparatus that drives a feed-axis with a servomotor of a machine tool, the machine tool may be quickly accelerated or decelerated in a state where a machine structural member that supports and fixes a structural member including a driving system has a lower rigidity, or in a state where an element having a lower rigidity is present beyond a load position where the detection by a linear scale is performed. In such cases, a generated deflection may induce a displacement in a mechanical system. A relative locus error may be generated between a workpiece to be processed and a front end portion of the tool. Further, a mechanism rigidity generally changes according to a machine posture. The generated deflection amount changes in magnitude. The present embodiment estimates and compensates a displacement amount of the front end portion of the tool that may be caused by the deflection of the mechanical system.

Abstract: In a linear motor, the stators and sliders are arranged to fill a predetermined relationship. In one configuration, two stators each include a plurality of stator blocks arranged in a moving direction of sliders so that projecting poles are maintained at predetermined intervals. Boundary surfaces are formed in adjacent stator blocks so as to be displaced relative to one another between the two opposite blocks by a distance Ld in the moving direction of the sliders. When a distance between end surface of the slider blocks is defined as L and the overall length of one stator block is defined as L0, the components are arranged such that Ld>L/3 and (L0?Ld)>L/3.
