Abstract
Abstract An absolute position detecting system for a servocontrol system which has its operation controlled in accordance with a numerical control program. Resolvers 202 and absolute encoders 110 made rotatable with a servomotor 105, are set at a predetermined revolving ratio so that the absolute positions of operating axes may be detected highly accurately from the revolution outputs of the two. The detecting operations can be performed for the plural operating axes by using one detecting circuit commonly.
