Abstract

A working machine feed axis control device: disposes a velocity feedback loop and forms a cascade coupling on the inner side of a location feedback loop; comprises a velocity gain setting apparatus ( 30 ) which multiplies the output of the velocity feedback look by a first gain (kv), and a location gain setting apparatus ( 31 ) which multiplies the output of the location feedback loop by a second gain (kp); subtracts the output of the velocity gain setting apparatus ( 30 ) and the output of the location gain setting apparatus ( 31 ) from a torque instruction (τ); and outputs the remaining torque instruction (τ) to a subject to be controlled ( 27 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A machine tool feed axis control method including forming a cascade-connection in which a velocity feedback loop including a velocity control unit is provided inside a position feedback loop including a position control unit to which a position command is inputted, and controlling a servo motor for driving the feed axis in accordance with a torque command outputted from a velocity control unit, the method comprising:
subtracting from the torque command a first state feedback signal obtained by multiplying an output of the velocity feedback loop by a first gain and a second state feedback signal obtained by multiplying an output of the position feedback loop by a second gain; and
outputting the torque command after the subtraction to a control object including the servo motor.

2. The machine tool feed axis control method according to claim 1 , further comprising multiplying the position command by a feed forward gain based on the first gain and the second gain and adding the multiplied value to the torque command, via a feed forward loop.

3. A machine tool feed axis control device including a cascade-connection in which a velocity feedback loop including a velocity control unit is provided inside a position feedback loop including a position control unit to which a position command is inputted, and controlling a servo motor for driving the feed axis in accordance with a torque command outputted from a velocity control unit, the device comprising:
a first multiplication unit which multiplies an output of the velocity feedback loop by a first gain;
a second multiplication unit which multiplies an output of the position feedback loop by a second gain; and
an output unit which subtracts an output of the first multiplication unit and an output of the second multiplication unit from the torque command, and outputs the torque command after the subtraction to a control object including the servo motor.
