  • Patent number: 9096212
    Abstract: In a vehicle and a method of controlling the same, a controller determines whether an idle-stop condition is satisfied or not when an engine is driven, and stops idling of the engine when it is determined that the idle-stop condition is satisfied. In addition, while the idling of the engine is stopped, when an operation order given to a fork driving cylinder by manipulation of a cargo handling lever is received, the controller starts the engine, and switches an oil pump for cargo handling of the fork driving cylinder to an on-load state before an engine revolution number reaches an idling revolution number region.

  • Publication number: 20150030405
    Abstract: A machine tool includes a machine tool main body, a ram which is supported with respect to the machine tool main body in a movable manner, a main shaft which is supported by the ram in a drivable and rotatable manner, an attachment which can be attached to and detached from a tip end portion of the ram and includes a driving shaft rotated according to rotation of the main shaft and a tool provided on the driving shaft, and a NC device which performs a numerical control based on machining data, and performs machining of a processing target. The control method of a machine tool includes a step of decreasing at least one of a ram overhang amount or a feeding amount when stress applied to the attachment is larger than allowable stress of the attachment based on a machining condition including a diameter, a depth of cut, and a feeding amount of the tool, and information including the ram overhang amount, a shape of the attachment, and a material of the processing target.

  • Publication number: 20140241840
    Abstract: A forklift includes a forklift body having a front wheel and a rear wheel, a fork supported to the front of the forklift body so as to be capable of moving vertically via a mast, a lift cylinder capable of moving the fork up and down, a hydraulic pressure supply line capable of supplying hydraulic pressure to a head-side chamber in the lift cylinder, a hydraulic pressure exhaust line capable of exhausting hydraulic pressure from a rod-side chamber in the lift cylinder, and a changeover valve provided on the hydraulic pressure exhaust line, wherein a control device changes a pressure balance between hydraulic pressure on the head-side chamber and hydraulic pressure on the rod-side chamber in the lift cylinder by the changeover valve to restrict the operation of the lift cylinder, when a weight of a load on the fork exceeds a limit load weight.
