Plural, Diverse Or Diversely Controlled Controllers Patents (Class 318/546)
  • Patent number: 8760102
    Abstract: In an impact driver, a link unit (a link sleeve and first and second elongated protrusions) is provided between the mode switching ring for selecting an operation mode and the slide button for selecting the rotation speed. With the link unit, a switching operation of a slide button to the high-speed side is performed in coordination with a selecting operation of a mode switching ring to an impact mode or a vibration drill mode and the rotation speed is held at high speed.

  • Patent number: 7558646
    Abstract: The present invention has a communication connection means (21) which mutually connects communicatably control units (Ca, Cb) for individually controlling operations of robots (Ra, Rb) to constitute a network, input means (37a, 37b) which are respectively installed in the control units and input operation instructions of the robots, and timing signal generation means (69a, 69b). The control units are selectively set to any one of an independent function execution mode, a master function execution mode, and a slave function execution mode, and among the control units, the control unit (Ca) to perform a master operation is set to the master function execution mode, and the residual control unit (Cb) is set to the slave function execution mode, and by correcting a minimum interruption period (Ts(b)) of the slave side control unit (Cb), a control time (ta11, ta12, ta13) to the master robot (Ra) of the master side control unit (Ca) is delayed by a predetermined time (T) to perform the cooperative operation.

  • Patent number: 5757158
    Abstract: A control device for operating a machine is disclosed. The control device includes a joystick having a central axis and being universally moveable along a first and second axis in a plane perpendicular to the central axis, and a rotatable operator control station that houses the joystick. A joystick position sensor senses the position of the joystick and responsively generates a set of operator command signals corresponding to the displacement and direction of the joystick from the central axis in the first and second axis. A operator station position sensor senses the rotational position of the operator station and responsively generates a position signal. A controller receives the operator command and position signals, and responsively transposes the function of the joystick axis to correspond to the orientation of the machine.
