The positioning system fur the ultraprecision machine tool should have nanometer order of positioning resolution. For the purpose of achieving that resolution, various feed drive devices have been proposed and currently hydrostatic lead screw and friction drive are paid attention. It is reported that an angstrom resolution can be achieved by using twist-roller friction drive. So we have manufactured ultraprecision feeding system driven by the twist-roller friction drive and perform performance assessment for problem definition and solution finding. As a result, we found that the twist-roller friction drive is mechanically suitable for ultraprecision positioning but some considerations are needed to get higher resolution.

In the case of direct connecting the nut of ballscrew to guide table, machining error and misalignment of ballscrew largely affect to the motional accuracy of guideway. For decreasing these influences, two type of floating couplings: leaf spring type and hybrid type which releases the table from nut of ballscrew except feed and rotational direction is proposed in this study. In order to verify practical availability of the proposed floating couplings, motional accuracy, dynamic characteristics and micro step response of hydrostatic guideway, mounted with each type of couplings are tested. The conventional fixed type coupling is also tested as the reference in characteristics. From the results of experiments, it is proved that the hybrid type coupling is superior to other couplings and is available to high precision feeding system with ballscrew.

Linear motor is characterized by its high velocity, high acceleration and good positioning accuracy. In recent years, linear motor is often used as a fast feed mechanism for high-speed machine tools. For the effective application of linear motors to machine tools, many demands on machine conceptions must be fulfilled. In this paper, some important construction concepts such as bending deformation of machine table, frictional force on the linear guidance and thermal behavior of linear motors are presented.

Linear motors are efficient mechanism that offers high speed and positioning accuracy. By eliminating mechanical transmission mechanisms such as ball screw or rack-pinion, much higher speed and greater acceleration can be achieved without backlash or excessive friction. However, an important disadvantage of linear motor system is its high power loss and heating up of motor and neighboring machine components on operation. For the application of the linear motors to precision machine tools an effective cooling method and thermal optimizing measures are required. This paper presents an investigation into the thermal behavior of linear motors with the objective of deriving the optimum cooling conditions. To reach these goals several experiments were carried out, varying operating and cooling conditions. From the experimental results, this research proposed cooling conditions to improve the thermal characteristics of the linear motors.

In this paper, a new type of inchworm motion actuator is introduced. This is consisted of two piezoelectric ceramics; one is for moving the slider, and the other is for clamping the slider in the guide way of the body. The linearity and positional accuracy of the system is good enough for the high precision motion. Since the system is more compact than the conventional system using three piezoelectric ceramics, it is applicable fur the micro-machine or MEMS. However, the effort for reducing the vibration, velocity discrepancy in the motion direction, and compensating the hysteresis behavior is additionally needed.

Reliable results can't be derived without the notion of measurement uncertainty. The reason is that the measured value includes a lot of uncertain factors. Finding the factor that affect the measurement of parameter is important for estimation of measurement uncertainty. In this paper, the evaluation of uncertainty analysis about positioning accuracy measurements of high precision feed mechanism is presented to evaluate the important factors of uncertainty.

In this paper, we perform a mechanism analysis and optimal design of the feeding system in a industrial sewing machine. Sewing machines are classified by the transfer mechanism as (1) transferred by feeddog only (2) transferred by feeddog and needle (3) transferred by feeddog, needle and pressure bar. The sewing machine classified as (2) is studied which is more efficient in transferring fabrics than the machine classified as (1). In analyzing the mechanism, we divide the feeding mechanism as feeddog mechanism and needle bar mechanism. The two mechanisms are conneted with each other kinematically because fabrics are transferred by two needles and a feeddog simultaneously and stitched by two needles which pass through the feeddog in every stitch cycle. We define good stitch as coincidence of stitch between the forward and reverse motion of feeding. We optimize the feeding mechanism for that purpose. It is illustrated that stitching performance of the optimized mechanism is compared to original feeding mechanism.

This paper presents the thermal behavior of a synchronous linear motor with high speed and force. Such a linear motor can successfully replace ball lead screw in machine tools because it has a high velocity, acceleration and good positioning accuracy. On the other hand, low efficiency and high heating up during operation are disadvantage of linear motors. For the application of linear motors to machine tools a water-cooling system is often used. In this research, structure of the linear motor and water cooler is changed to improve the thermal behavior of the linear motor. Some important effects of an integrated cooler, an U-cooler and a thermally symmetrical cooler are presented.
