Abstract
A three-dimensional measuring machine (industrial machine) includes an air supplier supplying air; a drive mechanism driven by the air supplied from the air supplier; an electromagnetic valve provided inside an air regulator set to open and close an air supply passage inside the air regulator set, the air regulator set introducing the air from the air supplier to the drive mechanism; and a motion controller controlling the electromagnetic valve to block the air supply passage when a time since the drive mechanism stopped operation reaches a preset time.
Claims11
An industrial machine, comprising:
- an air supplier configured to supply air;
- a driver configured to be driven by the air supplied from the air supplier;
- an electromagnetic valve positioned inside an air supply passage and configured to open and close the air supply passage, the air supply passage configured to introduce the air from the air supplier to the driver;
- and
- a controller configured to control the electromagnetic valve to block the air supply passage when a predetermined time passes after the driver stops operating,
- wherein the driver is determined to have stopped operating when the driver is in a stationary state.
