Abstract

Abstract A speed detector produces a spindle speed signal proportional to the revolving speed of a spindle. A specified position detector provides a specified position signal when the spindle assumes a specified rotational position. A spindle motor speed control unit controls the spindle motor so that the motor speed agrees with a speed command. When spindle orientation is requested, one integrator circuit responds to the specified position signal to integrate the spindle speed signal. The output from the integrator circuit is applied to the speed control unit in place of the speed command.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 129 words
A spindle control system in which a spindle motor for driving a spindle has associated therewith a speed detector for producing a speed detection signal proportional to the motor speed and the motor speed is controlled by the speed detection signal to agree with a predetermined speed command signal, said system comprising: a specified position detector for producing a specified position signal when the spindle assumes a specified rotational position during its rotation; and an integrator circuit for integrating the speed detection signal; wherein when to stop the spindle at a predetermined position, the integrator circuit is actuated in response to the specified position signal, and the output signal from the integrator circuit is used, in place of the speed command signal, to achieved positioning control of the spindle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 129 words
A spindle control system in which a spindle motor for driving a spindle has associated therewith a speed detector for producing a speed detection signal proportional to the motor speed and the motor speed is controlled by the speed detection signal to agree with a predetermined speed command signal, said system comprising: a specified position detector for producing a specified position signal when the spindle assumes a specified rotational position during its rotation; and an integrator circuit for integrating the speed detection signal; wherein when to stop the spindle at a predetermined position, the integrator circuit is actuated in response to the specified position signal, and the output signal from the integrator circuit is used, in place of the speed command signal, to achieved positioning control of the spindle.
