Abstract
Abstract In carrying out location control of a control object by decelerating a driving source for the control object over a suitable number of stages, this invention is based on the conception that inertia and strain occur in the control object, the driving source keeping such output as to allow a uniform motion of the control object and transmission mechanisms connecting them due to the uniform motion of the control object in a preceeding stage, and they exert significant influences over the location accuracy of the control object and wearing of the machine. In the present invention, therefore, the driving source of the control object is brought under deceleration control at such a timing where the strain occurring in the control object and its associated mechanisms becomes minimum.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
In a method of controlling the stepwise deceleration of a machine tool through a plurality of deceleration stages in which a signal representative of the velocity of the tool is derived from a pulse signal representative of the travel of the tool, the improvement comprising the application of the control signal for each deceleration stage at a time predetermined as a function of the strain occuring in the machine tool as a result of the control signal in the immediately preceding deceleration stage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
In a method of controlling the stepwise deceleration of a machine tool through a plurality of deceleration stages in which a signal representative of the velocity of the tool is derived from a pulse signal representative of the travel of the tool, the improvement comprising the application of the control signal for each deceleration stage at a time predetermined as a function of the strain occuring in the machine tool as a result of the control signal in the immediately preceding deceleration stage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the control signal for each stage is applied to the driving source at a time when the speed of the machine tool first reaches a predetermined value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the control signal for each stage is applied to the driving source when the speed of the driving source first reaches a predetermined value.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the control signal for each stage is applied to the driving source when both the speed of the machine tool and the speed of the driving source first reach a predetermined value.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the control signal for each stage is applied to the driving source at a predetermined time in advance of the minimum strain in the machine tool calculated on the basis of torque ratio and inertia ratio between the driving source and the machine tool, the velocity of the machine tool, the coefficient of friction between the machine tool and its traveling mechanism, and the like.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
72 words
In a control circuit for the stepwise deceleration of a machine tool through a plurality of stages with a driving source, machine tool, machine tool position determining means, and driving source control signal generating means, the improvement wherein the driving source control signal generating means is activated for each deceleration stage in response to the strain in the machine tool as a result of the control signal for the immediately preceding stage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
