  • Patent number: 10180667
    Abstract: A machining apparatus is provided with a machine learning device that performs machine learning. The machine learning device performs the machine learning by receiving the input of machining accuracy between a machining shape of a workpiece measured on-machine and design data on the workpiece and machining time of the workpiece measured by a measurement device. Based on a result of the machine learning, the machining apparatus changes machining conditions such that the machining accuracy increases and the machining time becomes as short as possible.

  • Patent number: 9906242
    Abstract: A control device that performs encoding of data to a code word and decoding from the code word to data by an error correction code is disclosed. The control device has an error correction function by which a correctable error is automatically corrected in the decoding. The control device includes an error correction processing unit which switches error correction codes based on a correction rate, which is outputted from a correction rate calculation unit, of every state so as to perform encoding from data to a code word and decoding from the code word to data and output correction information related to error correction. A lifetime calculation unit calculates a device lifetime which is a current remaining lifetime of a device based on a correction capability value of a current error correction code, a current correction rate, and a failure factor coefficient of a current operation state.

  • Patent number: 6062294
    Abstract: An injection molding machine having a simple structure and adapted to quickly operate for injection molding without taking in air bubbles is provided. The injection molding machine comprises a plunger and a nozzle for injecting the molten metal fed from the plunger into a metal mold. The plunger has a cylinder section with a through hole bored through an upper portion of its lateral wall for introducing the molten metal, and a piston for slidingly reciprocating within the cylinder section. A communication hole is bored through the piston and communicates with the through hole at a predetermined position. The communication hole runs from the lateral wall of the piston through the inside thereof and has a non-return valve arranged therein to allow only a flow from the lateral wall of the piston.

  • Patent number: 5787233
    Abstract: A route generating device has an elevation map memory storing elevation data for subareas defined by division of an operations zone. A gradient map creating section calculates gradient data based on the elevation data and creates a gradient map from the gradient data. An obstruction region extracting section extracts an inclination obstruction region based on the gradient map. A traveling route generating section obtains a travelable region based on the inclination obstruction region. All possible traveling routes is calculated based on the travelable region. A route evaluating section evaluates the traveling routes and selects an optimum route from the current position to the destination. The gradient map is created based on the elevation data, it is possible to generate an optimum route without three dimensional obstruct such as a fall, a tumble and any other inability in movement of the movable object.
