Abstract

Abstract A linear driving apparatus is provided wherein the driving output of a linear driving apparatus is adapted to be properly varied in the constant speed condition and the high acceleration condition for a moving object. Thereby the closer controlling operation may be effected not only in the high acceleration condition, but also in the constant speed condition if there is a considerable difference on the driving output of the linear driving apparatus in the constant speed condition and the high speed condition.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 164 words
A linear driving apparatus of a closed loop type, comprising; linear driving means for moving an object in alternate directions; speed setting means for generating a speed setting signal which develops a series of speed patterns for returning said object to an initial position at a high acceleration speed after said object has been moved at a constant speed from said initial position, and also, for generating a speed switching signal which determines whether the present speed setting operation of said object is in said constant speed condition or in said high acceleration condition; and driving control means which controls said linear driving means in accordance with said speed setting signal, and simultaneously, varies the driving output of said linear driving means in accordance with said speed switching signal for precisely controlling the driving output of said linear driving means in both said constant speed condition and said high acceleration condition by freely changing between said constant speed condition and said high acceleration condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 164 words
A linear driving apparatus of a closed loop type, comprising; linear driving means for moving an object in alternate directions; speed setting means for generating a speed setting signal which develops a series of speed patterns for returning said object to an initial position at a high acceleration speed after said object has been moved at a constant speed from said initial position, and also, for generating a speed switching signal which determines whether the present speed setting operation of said object is in said constant speed condition or in said high acceleration condition; and driving control means which controls said linear driving means in accordance with said speed setting signal, and simultaneously, varies the driving output of said linear driving means in accordance with said speed switching signal for precisely controlling the driving output of said linear driving means in both said constant speed condition and said high acceleration condition by freely changing between said constant speed condition and said high acceleration condition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
The linear driving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said speed switching signal generated from said speed setting means initiates said constant speed condition when the driving output of said linear driving means is set at a low level, and said speed switching signal initiates said high speed condition when the driving output of said linear driving means is set at a high level.
