  • Method and apparatus for automatically realigning a machine element to a predetermined position after power interruption
    Patent number: 4045660
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for automatically realigning a machine element to a predetermined position after an interruption of power to a drive mechanism coupled to the machine element. After the termination of power, the apparatus measures a displacement of the machine element during a predetermined period of time; and this displacement is stored in a nonvolatile memory. When power is restored to the drive mechanism, the apparatus is operative to automatically move the machine element back through a distance equal to the stored displacement. Consequently, the machine element realigns to the position it had before the power interruption.
