  • Patent number: 11241786
    Abstract: A servo control device for controlling a motor based on a position command when an operation target is connected to the motor via a wave gear reduction mechanism may include a position control system configured to detect a shaft angular position of the motor to perform a closed-loop control based on the shaft angular position; an inverse control element having an inverse characteristic of dynamics of the position control system; and a compensation amount generation unit configured to generate a compensation amount for compensating for an angular transmission error of the wave gear reduction mechanism. The inverse control element is configured to apply compensation amount to the position control system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10666171
    Abstract: A motor system includes a motor, and a multi-turn absolute encoder that detects a rotation number and an absolute angular position of a rotation shaft of the motor. The multi-turn absolute encoder includes: an absolute angular position detection device that detects the absolute angular position within one rotation period of the rotation shaft; and a storage element that stores the rotation number of the motor. Even if the driving of the multi-turn absolute encoder is stopped while the motor is stopped, the multi-turn absolute encoder detects the multi-turn position of the rotation shaft after startup. Further, the motor has a brake mechanism including: a gear-type brake wheel that rotates integrally with the rotation shaft; an engagement member capable of engaging with the teeth of the gear-type brake wheel; and an actuator which causes the teeth and the engagement member to engage with each other during braking.
