Abstract
Abstract In an absolute position detecting system for a servocontrol system operatively controlled according to a numerical control program or the like, the absolute position of an operating shaft is detected with a high accuracy based on outputs of a resolver 106 and an absolute encoder 110. The resolver 106 and absolute encoder 110 rotate with a servomotor 105 at a prescribed revolution ratio, so that variations in the absolute position of the operating shaft at the time of a malfunction in the servocontrol system can be stabilized quickly.
