The purpose of the present invention is to both break down chips and suppress sympathetic vibration in a machine. This work machine control device superposes a swinging command for commanding relative swinging between a workpiece and a cutting tool onto a movement command for commanding relative movement between the workpiece and the cutting tool, thereby generating air cuts in chips from the workpiece to break down the chips. A position information acquisition unit of the work machine control device acquires position information related to the relative positions of the workpiece and the tool. A state assessment unit of the work machine control device assesses that a state of instability is in effect, under the condition that a positional deviation exceeds a threshold value, the positional deviation increasing with increases in the difference between actual relative positions that are based on the position information and command relative positions that are based on the movement command and the swinging command. A swinging switching unit of the work machine control device performs a switching process for switching a swinging condition in relative swinging, under the condition that it is assessed that the state of instability is in effect.

Abstract

This force sensor comprises: a first substrate, a second substrate and a third substrate that are arranged spaced apart in the plate thickness direction; a first connecting member that connects the first substrate and the second substrate so that the same are displaceable in the plate thickness direction; a second connecting member that connects the second substrate and the third substrate so that the same are displaceable in a direction orthogonal to the plate thickness direction; a first detection unit that detects relative displacement between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a second detection unit that is disposed in such a manner as to extend between the second substrate and the third substrate in the plate thickness direction, and that detects relative displacement between the second substrate and the third substrate. The second substrate has an area for mounting the second detection unit and an area other than the mounting area, where the area other than the mounting area protrudes toward the third substrate, forming a thick wall portion.

Abstract

This monitoring device comprises: a storage unit which stores a first model for an electric motor when the operation state of the electric motor is normal; and a model search unit which generates a second model for the electric motor when the operation state of the electric motor is abnormal. The model search unit adds a model for an additional member to the first model to generate the second model when the difference between a measured temperature from a temperature detector and an estimated temperature of the temperature detector based on the first model deviates from a determination range. The model search unit sets: a model for constituent portions of the electric motor that perform heat exchange with the model for the additional member; and factors pertaining to the heat transfer of the additional member so that the estimated temperature of the temperature detector based on the second model corresponds to the estimated temperature of the temperature detector.
