Abstract

A controller performs high-accuracy oscillation control in which an axis driven by a motor is rocked in accordance with the rotation of a spindle motor for driving a main spindle. This controller determines a reference speed of rocking motion based on a reference speed set in advance, a reference main spindle rotational speed of the spindle motor, and an actual main spindle rotational speed, and calculates a rocking motion speed for each control period based on the determined reference speed of the rocking motion. The calculated rocking motion speed for each control period is added to a command outputted by the controller for controlling the position of the motor for each control period.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A controller that performs high-accuracy oscillation control in which an axis driven by a motor is rocked in accordance with rotation of a spindle motor for driving a main spindle, the controller comprising:
a position command section configured to output a command for controlling a position of the motor for each control period;
an oscillation reference speed determination section configured to determine a reference speed of the rocking motion based on a reference speed set as a parameter in advance, a reference main spindle rotational speed of the spindle motor, and an actual main spindle rotational speed of the spindle motor fed back from the spindle motor;
an oscillation command calculation section configured to calculate a rocking motion speed for each control period based on a rocking-motion-related set value set in advance and the reference speed of the rocking motion determined by the oscillation reference speed determination section; and
an adder configured to add the rocking motion speed for each control period calculated by the oscillation command calculation section to the command outputted by the position command section for controlling position.
