Publication number: 20240082999Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides an electric power tool including an output shaft, a motor, a manual switch, a memory device, a first circuit, and a second circuit distinct from the first circuit. The memory device stores two or more sets of job information. Each of the two or more sets of job information includes at least one operation setting of the motor for performing an associated tightening operation. The first circuit (i) receives one set of job information and (ii) drives the motor in accordance with the at least one operation setting included in the one set of job information based on the manual switch being or having been manually operated. The second circuit outputs a next set of job information from the memory device to the first circuit based on the first circuit having completed driving the motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta IZUTSU, Hirokatsu YAMAMOTO, Yusuke FURUYA

Publication number: 20220355362Abstract: A fastening tool includes a motor, an anvil, a pin-gripping part, a magnet having the north pole and the south pole aligned in a front-rear direction and configured to move integrally with the pin-gripping part in the front-rear direction, a first magnetic sensor having a first sensing surface, a second magnetic sensor having a second sensing surface and disposed rearward of the first magnetic sensor, and a control device configured to move the pin-gripping part rearward based on a detection result of the second magnetic sensor and to move the pin-gripping part forward based on a detection result of the first magnetic sensor. The first and second magnetic sensors are unipolar detection type sensors configured to detect a same specified pole of the magnet. Orientations of the first sensing surface and the second sensing surface relative to a movement axis of the magnet are opposite to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta IZUTSU, Kisho SEKIDO

Publication number: 20220045579Abstract: A screwing machine includes a motor, an output shaft, a twist portion, a plate portion, a strain gauge, an amplification circuit. The output shaft is driven by the motor. To the output shaft, a bit is attachable. The twist portion is hollow. To the twist portion, torque applied to the output shaft is transmitted through a transmission element. The output shaft is configured to be indirectly twisted by the torque applied to the output shaft. The plate portion is integrally formed with the twist portion. The strain gauge is disposed on the twist portion. The amplification circuit is disposed on the plate portion. To the amplification circuit, a signal from the strain gauge is input.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicants: MAKITA CORPORATION, MINEBEA MITSUMI INC.Inventors: Takaharu NAKATSUKA, Yuta IZUTSU, Kotaro EGUCHI, Kui LI

Patent number: 11031770Abstract: An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a main current-path, a driving unit including a motor and at least one first semiconductor-switching-element, a controller, a bypass current-path, a second semiconductor-switching-element, and a switch driver. The main current-path is arranged between a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a battery. The driving unit is situated in the main current path. The bypass current-path is arranged in parallel with the driving unit. The second semiconductor-switching-element is situated in the bypass current-path. The switch driver causes the second semiconductor-switching-element to interrupt the bypass current-path in an event that a voltage value of a drive voltage applied to the driving unit is less than a threshold value, and causes the second semiconductor-switching-element to complete the bypass current-path in an event that the voltage value is equal to or greater than the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta Izutsu, Katsuhito Fujinami, Akira Ito

Publication number: 20170072533Abstract: A grinder includes a motor, a housing that houses the motor, a spindle that projects from the housing and is driven by the motor, and thereby rotates relative to the housing, and a wheel cover that is disposed on an outer-circumference side of the spindle and is configured to cover a portion of a tool accessory attached to the spindle. The grinder also includes a holding device for holding the wheel cover on the housing such that the arrangement and position of the wheel cover around the spindle can be changed but such that the wheel cover is not readily removable from the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2016Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Tatsuya YOSHIZAKI, Yuta IZUTSU
