Abstract A numerical control apparatus according to the invention reliably eliminates the influence on positional accuracy of static resistance and dynamic resistance, which act as disturbance upon a servo loop, when a semi-closed loop forms a servo system for positioning, by numerical control, a machine tool or the like driven by a servomotor. The numerical control apparatus has a backlash correction function and supplies the servo system with a backlash correction data BL(i) distinguished from an ordinary move command BL(i). In order to eliminate a shift from a commanded position due to the aforementioned disturbance, an offset command corresponding to frictional torque Fa in the mechanical system of the machine tool or the like is applied to the servo system as a torque correction signal FR(i) in accordance with the backlash correction data BL(i).
A numerical control apparatus for controlling a semi-closed loop servo-control system which controls a servomotor by forming a position command by a move command and a backlash correction command for backlash at a mechanical load, comprising: discriminating means for discriminating, on the basis of the backlash correction command, a quadrant position prevailing when the direction of rotation of the servomotor reverses; correcting means for forming a torque correction signal corresponding to frictional resistance of the mechanical load; and arithmetic means for computing a velocity command decided from said position command by the torque correction signal.
