Abstract: A screwdriver includes a first section, a second section where a positioning groove is annularly formed, a sleeve member detachably disposed on the second section, and an engagement member disposed in the sleeve member. The sleeve member has a body with a through hole, a magnetic unit disposed in the through hole, and an accommodation groove adapted to accommodate the engagement member.

Abstract: In an industrial robot, correction is made for change in position and attitude of an arm distal end due to mechanical deflection of the robot. In the robot, a moment applied to the first axis in its non-rotation direction opposite to its rotation direction is calculated from a load torque applied to the second axis in its rotation direction, a moment due to a second-axis-side self-weight, and a ratio of a distance between the rotation centers of the first and second axes, to a distance between the rotation centers of the second axis and a tool. A deflection amount indicating an angle of the first axis tilting in the non-rotation direction is calculated from the moment applied to the first axis and the rigidity of the first axis in the non-rotation direction. A control value is corrected based on the deflection amount to control the robot.
