Abstract
The present invention is to permit accurate detection of the position of a movable machine part which is driven by a motor, through elimination of the influence of backlash. A position sensor (3) creates position sensing pulses each time a movable machine part (2) which is driven by a motor (1) is moved by a predetermined amount. Counting means (4) counts the position sensing pulses from the position sensor (3) and readout means (5) reads out the count value of the counting means (4) at predetermined time intervals. Cancel means (6) cancels the contents of the counting means (4) by a value equal to the count value read out by the readout means (5). Backlash amount storage means (7) has prestored therein the amount of backlash in the drive system, amount-of-movement computing means (8) computes the actual amount of movement of the movable machine part (2) for each predetermined period of time on the basis of the stored contents of the backlash amount storage means (7) and the value read out by the readout means (5), and integrating means (9) integrates the results of computation by the amount-of-movement computing means (8).

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
