A numerical controller, which is configured to correct a machine position error based on a torque difference between a master axis and a slave axis, acquires the torque difference after movement of the master and slave axes that move in response to a movement command, and corrects the machine position error by a correction amount based on a value obtained by excluding a torque difference derived from a mechanical strain from the acquired torque difference. The corrected machine position error is added to the movement command for next time.

To provide a controller capable of exerting acceleration/deceleration control more accurately than has been exerted conventionally and capable of reducing the occurrence of shock and shortening cycle time. A numerical controller outputs a movement command for a drive axis of a machine based on a command in a program for controlling the machine having the drive axis controlled by a servo motor. The numerical controller exerts acceleration/deceleration control over the drive axis so as to satisfy a condition for the acceleration/deceleration in each of a machine coordinate system as an orthogonal coordinate system in the machine and a drive axis coordinate system by normalizing each of acceleration/deceleration related information in the machine coordinate system and acceleration/deceleration related information in the drive axis coordinate system to a value in the drive axis coordinate system.

A method includes disposing an intervention service tool within a tubular. The intervention service tool includes an anchoring system, a shifting system, and a linear actuator system. The tubular includes a shifting profile geometry disposed within the tubular at a first location. The anchoring system, the shifting system, and/or the linear actuator system is actuated. Shifter system pressure, linear actuator system force/pressure, and displacement of the shifting system is measured. A known graph of the shifting profile geometry is compared to one or more of a measured pressure, a measured force, or a measured displacement. A position of a key disposed on the shifting system is determined relative to the shifting profile. The shifting profile geometry is engaged with the key based on the position of the key. The shifting profile geometry is positioned at a second location that is different from the first location.

A servomotor control device includes: a driven body configured to be driven by a servomotor; a connection mechanism configured to connect the servomotor and the driven body; a position command generation unit configured to generate a position command value; a motor control unit configured to control the servomotor using the position command value; a force estimation part configured to estimate a force estimated value which is a drive force acting on the driven body at a connecting part with the connection mechanism; a force estimated value output part configured to decide on reflection of updating and interruption of updating of a force estimated value based on the position command value, and output either of a force estimated value reflecting updating, or a force estimated value of when interrupting updating; and a compensation amount generation part configured to generate a compensation amount for compensating the position command value.

A linear drive system provides a combination of distributed control to increase the number of movers which may be supported in the system and centralized control to reduce the separation distance between movers by grouping movers together and placing a reference mover of the group under central control with remaining movers of the group under distributed control. In addition, in precise working locations, or synchronization zones, each of the movers can be temporarily placed under central control to further reduce the separation distance and allow improved coordination with industrial processes or machines in the system.

The machine (1; 100) comprises a winding station (3; 101), adapted to receive secondary winding cores (T) coaxial with, and adjacent to, one another.

In this machining method, in which a rotary tool is moved relative to a workpiece and/or the workpiece is moved relative to the rotary tool so as to machine a curved surface on said workpiece, rotation in the direction of said curved surface is added to the workpiece such that the positions of reversal marks left on the curved surface per tool path are dispersed in the direction of said rotation.

A servomotor control device includes: a driven body configured to be driven by a servomotor; a connection mechanism configured to connect the servomotor and the driven body; a position command generation unit configured to generate a position command value; a motor control unit configured to control the servomotor using the position command value; a force estimation part configured to estimate a force estimated value which is a drive force acting on the driven body at a connecting part with the connection mechanism; a force estimated value output part configured to decide on reflection of updating and interruption of updating of a force estimated value based on the position command value, and output either of a force estimated value reflecting updating, or a force estimated value of when interrupting updating; and a compensation amount generation part configured to generate a compensation amount for compensating the position command value.
