Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fastening tool includes: a bit holding portion which detachably holds a driver bit and is configured to rotate in a circumferential direction of the driver bit and move in an axial direction of the driver bit; a first motor configured to rotate the bit holding portion; a second motor configured to move the bit holding portion along the axial direction; and a control unit configured to control a position of the bit holding portion along the axial direction by the number of rotations of the second motor. The control unit is configured to control a moving speed of a screw moved by rotation of the first motor or a rotation speed of the first motor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fastening tool comprising: a bit holding portion which detachably holds a driver bit and which is configured to rotate in a circumferential direction of the driver bit and move in an axial direction of the driver bit; a first motor configured to rotate the bit holding portion; a second motor configured to move the bit holding portion along the axial direction; and a control unit configured to control a position of the bit holding portion along the axial direction by the number of rotations of the second motor, wherein the control unit is configured to control a moving speed of a screw moved by rotation of the first motor or a rotation speed of the first motor, the control unit is configured to control a moving speed of the bit holding portion moved by rotation of the second motor to follow the moving speed of a screw moved by being fastened to a fastening target by rotation of the first motor, and the control unit is configured to calculate a moving speed of the bit holding portion based on a lead length of the screw. 2. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control a rotation speed of the second motor based on a rotation speed of the first motor, or control the rotation speed of the first motor based on the rotation speed of the second motor. 3. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit controls the moving speed of the bit holding portion moved by rotation of the second motor to follow the moving speed of the screw moved by rotation of the first motor, when a load applied to the first motor or the second motor is detected. 4. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to calculate the lead length of the screw using the number of rotations of the first motor or a movement amount of the bit holding portion measured after a load applied to the first motor or the second motor is detected, and calculate the moving speed of the bit holding portion based on the calculated lead length. 5. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , further comprising: a lead length setting portion configured to set the lead length, wherein the control unit is configured to calculate the moving speed of the bit holding portion based on the lead length of the screw set by the lead length setting portion. 6. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the moving speed of the bit holding portion moved by rotation of the second motor based on the rotation speed of the first motor. 7. The fastening tool according to claim 6 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the moving speed of the bit holding portion moved by rotation of the second motor based on a load applied to the first motor or the second motor. 8. The fastening tool according to claim 7 , wherein the control unit controls the second motor such that the load on the second motor falls within a range of specified values, after the load is detected. 9. The fastening tool according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the moving speed of the bit holding portion moved by rotation of the second motor based on a fluctuation in a power supply voltage.
