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.
Claims4
An absolute position detecting system for a servocontrol system for servo-controlling servomotors for driving respective operating axes, comprising:
- resolvers for respectively detecting coarse rotational positions of servomotors for plural operating axes in accordance with the revolutions of the servomotors;
- absolute encoders for respectively detecting fine rotational positions of the servomotors for plural operating axes in accordance with the revolutions of the servomotors, said resolvers and said absolute encoders revolving at a ratio of 1:m;
- a detecting circuit for detecting absolute positions of the servomotors from the detected outputs of said resolvers and the detected outputs of said absolute encoders;
- and
- a switch, coupled between said detecting circuit and said resolvers and said absolute encoders, for switching to connect a selected one of said resolvers and a selected one of said absolute encoders for a selected one of the operating axes to said detecting circuit, so that said detecting circuit is used commonly for the plural operating axes.
