Abstract
Synchronization of the drive bars of a servo transfer system is safely restored, while avoiding mechanical damage as much as possible. A synchronization position C for all the drive bars is determined from the respective present positions B of the drive bars and the respective deviations of the present positions B from the synchronization position C are determined. Then, servo motors for all the drive bars are so controlled that the drive bars move the distances corresponding to their respective deviations within the same period of time.
Claims4
A synchronization restoring system which restores drive bar synchronization in a servo transfer system which carries out movement of feed bars in the direction of a lift axis by driving a multiplicity of drive bars with servo driving mechanisms, the restoring system comprising:
- (a) synchronization position detecting means for determining a synchronization position for all the drive bars from the respective present positions of the drive bars;
- (b) deviation detecting means for determining the deviation of the present position of each drive bar from the synchronization position determined by the synchronization position detecting means;
- and
- (c) controller means for controlling servo motors for the drive bars such that the drive bars respectively move the distances corresponding to their respective deviations determined by the deviation detecting means within the same period of time.
