A command generation device to control a motor includes command input circuitry configured to receive a first command, first intermediate data calculation circuitry configured to calculate first intermediate data based on the first command, delay time setting circuitry configured to determine a delay time based on the first command, second intermediate data calculation circuitry configured to calculate second intermediate data by smoothing the first intermediate data based on the delay time, and command output circuitry configured to calculate, based on the second intermediate data, a second command according to which the motor is controlled. A first time period during which positioning the motor based on the first command is completed when the first intermediate data is smoothed is longer by the delay time than a second time period during which positioning the motor based on the first command is completed when the first intermediate data is not smoothed.

The rotation center is calculated (step S11). A gripping pattern is determined (step S12). The rotation axis is set to X-axis (step S13) of a tool coordinate system in response to the gripping pattern being a fan-shaped pattern, to Y-axis (step S14) in response to being a cylinder pattern, and to Z-axis (step S15) in response to being a circle pattern. A start angle θ_start is set as a rotation angle θ (step S16). The pose of a tool is calculated (step S17). The current pose is registered (step S18). The angle θ is changed by a predetermined angle of Δθ (step S19). Steps S17 to S19 are repeated until the angle θ reaches an end angle θ_end (step S20).

A control device of a machine tool includes a position controller and a model of a position-controlled axis. The position controller receives a position setpoint value, a corresponding actual position value and a compensation value; determines therefrom a resulting value; determines based on the resulting value an actuating signal; and outputs the actuating signal to the position-controlled axis. The position and/or the orientation of the tool relative to the workpiece are adjusted based on the actuating signal. A sequence of successive control errors is stored, in a storage device and read out sequentially in accordance with a sequence of the position setpoint values and supplied to the model. The model determines from the read-out control error a respective compensation value which is then supplied to the position controller, while simulating the mechanically dynamic behavior of the position-controlled axis.

A robot controller controls an arc motion of a robot. The robot controller includes an interpolation point setting unit that sets an interpolation point between movement points in an operation program. The robot controller includes a movement-point angle calculation unit that calculates an angle relating to a reference direction for determining the orientation of the robot, and an interpolation-point angle calculation unit that calculates an angle relating to the reference direction at an interpolation point by interpolating angles relating to the reference direction at the movement points. The reference direction is a direction independent from the positions of the movement points and is set in an operation program in a predetermined coordinate system.

A control device of an electric motor that drives an axis influenced by gravity includes: a determination unit that determines whether an overrun operation to move past a target position of the axis is allowable; and a drive control unit that, in a case in which it is determined by the determination unit that the overrun operation is allowable and the axis is driven in an antigravity direction, controls driving of the electric motor so that, after the axis being driven to the overrun position past the target position in the antigravity direction, the axis is driven again in a gravity direction to stop at the target position.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for computing interpolated robot control parameters. One of the methods includes receiving, by a real-time bridge from a control agent for a robot, a non-real-time command for the robot, wherein the non-real-time command specifies a trajectory to be attained by a component of the robot and a target value for a control parameter, wherein the control parameter controls how a real-time controller will cause the robot to react to one or more external stimuli encountered during a control cycle of the real-time controller. The real-time bridge provides the one or more real-time commands translated from the non-real-time command and interpolated control parameter information to the real-time controller, thereby causing the robot to effectuate the trajectory of the non-real-time command according to the interpolated control parameter information.

The purpose is to provide a numerical control device that can easily suppress the occurrence of burrs. The numerical control device comprises: an analysis unit that analyses a processing program for processing a workpiece in a machine tool; and a corner specifying unit that specifies the corner that causes burrs on the workpiece based on the analyzed processing program.
