Title: Isao Wakamiya: Innovator in Machine Tool Technology
Introduction
Isao Wakamiya is a notable inventor based in Shizuoka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of machine tool technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engineering challenges.
Latest Patents
Wakamiya's latest patents include an "Apparatus for controlling rapid feed speed of movable bodies." This invention focuses on controlling the rapid feed speed of a movable body, such as a machine tool table, using a ball screw mechanism. The apparatus features a converting device that transforms the rotation of the ball screw into a force for reciprocating the table. Additionally, it includes a position detector that determines whether the nut of the ball screw is at the end of its movement or in a central position, issuing a detection signal accordingly. A speed-reducing device is also incorporated to lower the revolutions of the ball screw when the detection signal is activated.
Another significant patent is the "Apparatus for correcting displacement of movable members of machine tools." This invention addresses the displacement of movable members in machine tools by employing a correction load applying device that utilizes pressurized fluid. It includes a position detector that generates a position signal, a displacement correction value calculator that computes a correction value based on this signal, and an electromagnetic valve that adjusts the pressure of the pressurized fluid according to the displacement correction signal.
