  • Patent number: 10859365
    Abstract: There is provide a method for controlling a shape measuring apparatus that synchronize an acceleration/deceleration changing timing of a velocity pattern with a control sampling cycle, and prevents a control lag. Based on a shape of a movement path set based on preliminarily-obtained shape data of an object to be measured, a velocity pattern for a probe to move along the movement path. It is determined whether a velocity changing timing of the velocity pattern is synchronized with a control sampling cycle of a shape measuring apparatus. When the velocity changing timing of the velocity pattern is not synchronized with the control sampling cycle, the velocity pattern is corrected such that the velocity changing timing of the velocity pattern is synchronized with the control sampling cycle of the shape measuring apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20200334103
    Abstract: A storage controller connected to a computer makes an IO request and has drive boxes connected to the storage controller. The storage controller configures a RAID group and the drive boxes store DB information including information for accessing the drive boxes connected to the storage controller and RAID group information of the RAID group configured by the storage controller. A first processor of a first drive box reads, if new data for updating old data stored in a first drive of the first drive box is received from the storage controller, the old data from the first drive and generates intermediate parity from the old data and the new data, transfers the intermediate parity to a second drive box storing old parity corresponding to the old data on the basis of the DB information and the RAID group information, and stores the new data in the first drive.

  • Patent number: 10724840
    Abstract: A scanning path is divided after every predetermined number of segments and a set of measurement commands is defined for each of the predetermined number of segments. While executing the measurement command, a speed pattern plan is created for the following measurement command. At this time, planning is conducted such that a final speed of a speed pattern plan of the measurement command is the same as an initial speed of the speed pattern plan of the following measurement command. While executing the measurement command, a gap time (from a current time to an estimated end time of the measurement command) is calculated continuously. When the gap time is longer than a planning calculation time, the initial speed of the speed pattern plan of the following measurement command is kept the same as the final speed of the speed pattern plan of the measurement command.

  • Patent number: 10697748
    Abstract: A shape measuring apparatus includes a probe head that changes its posture by rotational motion of a first drive axis and a second drive axis, and a coordinate measuring machine that three-dimensionally displaces a location of the probe head by three translation axes (a third drive axis, a fourth drive axis, and a fifth drive axis). The location of a measurement tip is given by coordinate values of the third to fifth drive axes, and the posture of a probe head is given by a first rotating angle ? and a second rotating angle ?. An intersection point between a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis is set as a rotation center Q. An interpolation point in each control period is calculated for each of the first to fifth drive axes.
