A controller is provided with a repeated control unit configured to calculate a position compensation value, based on a position command for each control period of a motor, a position deviation, which is the difference between the position command and a position of the motor, and a parameter for repeated control, and a machine learning device configured to predict the position compensation value calculated by the repeated control unit, and the machine learning device constructs a learning model so as to minimize an objective function based on the position command, the position deviation, and the position compensation value.

An oil mist management system includes a plurality of machine tools provided in a factory, and an oil mist concentration measuring apparatus for measuring concentration of oil mist in the factory. Further, a data processing apparatus determines whether the concentration of the oil mist is larger than a threshold value, and if the concentration of the oil mist is larger than the threshold value, the data processing apparatus issues a command to decrease machining speed or stop operation of a machine tool that has the lower priority rank among the machine tools.

Information is collected from a management target device having a drive unit such as a machine tool, and this collected information is more practically used. An information collection device includes a collection unit that collects, from management target devices having a drive unit, operating state information which is information indicating an operating state of the management target device while operating accompanying movement of the drive unit; and a comparison unit that extracts a plurality of sets of information matching in a predetermined condition from the operating state information thus collected, and outputs a comparison result of the plurality of sets of information thus extracted.

A machining apparatus includes a multi-joint arm provided with a machining tool for machining a workpiece. A control device of the machining apparatus includes: a storage section for storing NC data indicating a machining region of a workpiece by the machining apparatus; a distance measurement sensor placed on the arm and for measuring a distance between the workpiece and the machining apparatus for each machining surface of the workpiece; and a correction section for correcting the NC data for each of the machining surfaces based on a measurement result by the distance measurement sensor. As a result of this, the machining apparatus can perform the correction of machining data in correspondence to deviation of a machining object with higher accuracy.
