Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor control device according to an aspect of the present disclosure controls a motor by switching between speed control and position control, and sets a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the position control to lower than a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the speed control.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A motor control device which controls a motor by switching between speed control and position control, the motor control device comprising: a power source, wherein the motor control device sets a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the position control to lower than a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the speed control, the maximum voltage applied to the motor during the speed control is a rated voltage of the power source, and the maximum voltage applied to the motor during the position control is an actual voltage of the power source. 2. The motor control device according to claim 1 , comprising an induction motor control section which sets a speed of the motor at which starting to decrease d-phase current and q-phase current during the position control to lower than during the speed control. 3. The motor control device according to claim 1 , comprising a synchronous motor control section which sets a speed of the motor at which starting to apply d-phase current during the position control to lower than during the speed control. 4. A machine tool comprising: a motor control device according to claim 1 ; and a motor which is controlled by the motor control device. 5. A motor control device which controls a motor by switching between speed control and position control, comprising: an induction motor control section which sets a speed of the motor at which starting to decrease d-phase current and q-phase current during the position control to lower than during the speed control, wherein the motor control device sets a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the position control to lower than a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the speed control. 6. A motor control device which controls a motor by switching between speed control and position control, comprising: a synchronous motor control section which sets a speed of the motor at which starting to apply d-phase current during the position control to lower than during the speed control, wherein the motor control device sets a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the position control to lower than a maximum voltage applied to the motor during the speed control.
