Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a numerical control system of an industrial machine that makes it possible to eliminate overshoot occurred at the time of stopping, thereby preventing interference of the machine, for example, in a case in which the torque of a motor such as a servomotor used in a feed axis of a machine tool is limited by a command unit of a CNC. A numerical control system of an industrial machine includes a command unit and a control unit configured to control driving of a motor of the industrial machine in accordance with a command from the command unit, and to perform position control by receiving a command of an end point position from the command unit or without receiving a command of the end point position from the command unit, and the control unit includes an in-deceleration torque limit release unit that, in a case of performing torque limitation of the motor, releases the torque limitation only during deceleration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A numerical control system of an industrial machine, the numerical control system comprising: a command unit; and a control unit configured to control driving of a motor of the industrial machine in accordance with a first command from the command unit, and to perform position control by receiving a second command of an end point position from the command unit or without receiving the second command of the end point position from the command unit, wherein the control unit includes an in-deceleration torque limit release unit that, in a case of performing torque limitation of the motor, releases the torque limitation to increase torque output only during deceleration. 2. A numerical control system of an industrial machine, the numerical control system comprising: a command unit; and a control unit configured to control driving of a motor of the industrial machine in accordance with a command from the command unit, and to perform position control by receiving a command of an end point position from the command unit, wherein the control unit includes: an acceleration/deceleration time constant calculation unit that, in a case of performing torque limiting of the motor, performs acceleration/deceleration at an outputtable torque after torque limiting, and calculates a time constant of acceleration/deceleration for securing the position control; and a time constant setting unit that, in a case of performing the torque limiting of the motor, automatically sets the time constant of the acceleration/deceleration calculated by the acceleration/deceleration time constant calculation unit before driving the motor.
