Highly accurate press working is performed while responding to mechanical alteration due to thermal expansion. Prior to a series of processing to a workpiece, a servomotor control unit moves a slide to a stop position, and a sensing value detecting unit detects a sensing value of a sensing element at the stop position of the slide, and stores the detected sensing value. Then, in the series of processing, the sensing value detecting unit detects a sensing value of the sensing element at the stop position of the slide, and stores the detected sensing value in the processing sensing value storing unit. A correction value calculating unit calculates a correction value based on the two store values, and a servomotor control unit controls the servomotor based on the detected slide position, the slide position that has been set, and the correction value calculated by the correction value calculating unit.

A numerical controller drives, through pressure control, two motors which drives two tables of a driving apparatus while keeping these two tables parallel with each other. When there is a positional deviation between the two motors, the numerical controller calculates a correcting pressure based on correction gains indicating relationships between pressure and position stored in advance and corrects pressure command values of the two motors based on the correcting pressure.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for processing of waste and in particular processing involving a volumetric reduction of waste materials. There is an apparatus for processing waste material comprising a compaction compartment for receipt of waste material, the compaction compartment have a screw vane for processing waste material through the compaction compartment and a waste material outlet. In one aspect the apparatus comprises a heating zone including an arrangement for heating the waste material received from the waste outlet, the apparatus further comprising a cooling zone including a cooling arrangement for cooling the waste material received from the heating zone. In another aspect, at least one of the screw vane or wall comprises one or more ports therein for transfer of liquid from the waste material, the one or more ports having a port inlet and a port outlet, wherein the area of the opening defined by the port inlet is different to the area of the opening defined by the port outlet. In a further aspect, a heating zone for receiving waste material from the waste material outlet is provided where the heating zone includes an arrangement for heating the waste material in the heating zone, and a blocking element for impeding movement of waste material from the heating zone.

A multi-axis motor control system includes a host control apparatus, motors, motor control apparatuses that drives the motors and each includes circuitry that acquires control related information transmitted and received between the host control apparatus and at least one other motor control apparatus, and controls a corresponding motor of the motors based on the control related information, and a communication channel that connects the host control apparatus and the motor control apparatuses in series.

An electric cylinder includes: an outer cylinder including, on one end side, a fixing section; a rod configured to be capable of expanding and contracting in an axis direction from an opening on the one end side of the outer cylinder; a bearing provided on the other end side end and on the inside of the outer cylinder; a rotating shaft supported by the bearing and driven to rotate; a screw mechanism configured to convert a rotational motion of the rotating shaft into a linear motion of the rod and transmit the linear motion; and a distortion detecting unit provided on the outer circumference of the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder includes at least two or more division members that can be divided and combined. The distortion detecting unit is provided in one division member among the two or more division members.
