  • Patent number: 5750953
    Abstract: A motor-driven X-type resistance spot welding gun. A servo-controlled motor torque is converted into force to drive gun arms and into electrode force by using a reduction gear without converting rotational output of the motor into rectilinear motion. The two arms are respectively attached to an output shaft of the reduction gear or a case, and the rotational output of the motor can be converted into swing-wise movement to close and open the arms. The electrode tips on the arms nip a workpiece to apply electrode force to the workpiece, and current is passed through the workpiece to perform spot welding. A motor, a reduction gear and the like are assembled on a common base to form a driving unit so that an arm actuator for the X-type resistance spot welding gun is formed. The same driving unit can be used commonly to various X-type gun models. The independent properties of functions of a bracket for attaching the welding gun to a robot are improved.

  • Patent number: 5572502
    Abstract: An optical disk apparatus includes a recording method in which at least one of the scanning position, the irradiation time, the irradiation start point and the irradiation power of a light beam is arbitrarily changed, and a method and apparatus in which information is represented by a plurality of recording marks without being limited to two kinds of recording and erasion. In order to prevent overlapping recording/erasion, a recording clock generating unit delays a reference clock signal to generate a recording clock signal and a recording control unit transfers user data to an optical head in synchronism with the recording clock signal so that it is recorded on an optical disk. Also, the amount of delay is recorded to enable sure reading or reproduction. At the time of reading, a servo mark detection signal is divided to generate a clock signal having a variable frequency, thereby realizing an optical disk for which high-precision recording/reproduction is possible.

  • Patent number: 5371730
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical memory in which an optical recording medium is built in a case, and also to a memory apparatus. Recording, reproducing and erasing operations are performed by irradiating light via a transparent portion of the case onto the built-in optical recording medium. The optical recording medium built in the case has face vibrations with respect to the case, because it is moved within the case. The present invention is characterized by employing such a construction for optically mitigating irregular fluctuation in reflectivity caused by this face vibration. In the optical memory of the present invention, the reflectivity fluctuation caused by an interference effect made between reflection light from the case and air, and also reflection light from the optical recording medium and air due to the relative deviation in the face vibrations, may be reduced by antireflection films provided in the case and the optical recording medium.

  • Patent number: 5311494
    Abstract: An overwritable optical disk apparatus in which a finite conjugate optical system is employed. The apparatus comprises an optical head for converging diffused light from a light source onto an optical disk for performing data write/read operation, a driving unit for rotating the disk and a beam splitter for guiding the light reflected from the optical disk to a photodetector for detecting light reflected from the optical disk. Influence of disk displacement occurring in accompanying the rotation of the disk and disk eccentricity are suppressed to a minimum by encasing rotatably the optical disk within a credit card size casing which is adapted to be loaded and held stationarily in the optical disk apparatus. Thin structure of the optical head and miniaturization of the optical disk apparatus are realized with light utilization efficiency for data write/read operation being increased.
