Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fastener driving machine includes an actuator which injects a fastener to a driving target object, a controller which controls an operation of the actuator, and a sensor which detects a physical quantity changed by a contact with the driving target object. The controller controls the actuator based on the physical quantity detected by the sensor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fastener driving machine comprising: an actuator which injects a fastener to a driving target object; a controller; a vibration sensor which detects a value of a vibration generated when the fastener driving machine contacts the driving target object; and a speed detector which detects a movement speed of the fastener driving machine when the fastener driving machine contacts the driving target object, wherein the controller limits an operation of the actuator based on the value of the vibration detected by the vibration sensor and the movement speed detected by the speed detector, wherein the fastener driving machine comprises a contact member configured to be movable according to the contact with the driving target object, and wherein the speed detector detects the movement speed based on a movement of the contact member. 2. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration sensor is provided in the contact member or a member interlinked with the contact member. 3. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller decides an operation force of the actuator based on the vibration detected by the vibration sensor which detects vibration changed by a contact with the driving target object. 4. The fastener driving machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller obtains a divided value by dividing the value of the vibration from the vibration sensor by the movement speed from the speed detector, and the controller operates the actuator when a peak of the divided value exceeds a predetermined value. 5. A fastener driving machine comprising: an actuator which injects a fastener to a driving target object; a controller; a vibration sensor which detects a value of a vibration generated when the fastener driving machine contacts the driving target object; and a speed detector which detects a movement speed of the fastener driving machine when the fastener driving machine contacts the driving target object, wherein the controller limits an operation of the actuator based on the value of the vibration detected by the vibration sensor and the movement speed detected by the speed detector, and wherein the controller obtains a divided value by dividing the value of the vibration detected by the vibration sensor by the movement speed detected by the speed detector, and the controller controls the actuator based on the divided value. 6. The fastener driving machine according to claim 5 , wherein the controller operates the actuator when a peak of the divided value exceeds a predetermined value and prevents operation of the actuator when the peak is below the predetermined value.
