A vehicle brake system () includes a first control device () and a second control device () that respectively include a master controller (), a first sub-controller (), and a second sub-controller () that are connected to one another. Each of the master controller (), the first sub-controller (), and the second sub-controller () includes a braking force calculation unit that calculates braking force of electric brakes (to), and a determination unit that compares braking force calculation results of the controllers to determine whether itself is normal. The determination unit includes an output block section that blocks, when the determination unit determines that any one of the controllers is not normal, an output of the controller that is determined to be not normal.

Vehicle brake system

A mounting system having a function of picking up one of several different type works from a pickup position where the works having the different types are selectively fed, and of moving a picked up work to an insertion position so as to mount the work on a printed circuit board. The mounting system includes a rotary member arranged to be rotatable, head mechanisms having different types and mounted on the rotary member, the head mechanisms having a number of types corresponding to that of the types of the works, a memory for storing a pickup order and an insertion order in units of types of works, a driver for rotating and stopping the rotary member at predetermined angles, and a control device for preferentially driving the head mechanism to the pickup or insertion position.

Mounting system including a plurality of hand mechanisms for picking up,

A parts inserting apparatus of this invention includes clinch elements arranged to be engaged with lead wires of an electronic part inserted into a printed circuit board, a detecting unit for detecting completion of insertion of the lead wires into the printed circuit board, a driving unit, connected to the clinch elements, for engaging the clinch elements with the lead wires to bend the lead wires, and a control unit for driving the driving unit to perform a clinch operation for bending the lead wires after the detecting unit detects completion of insertion of the lead wires.

Part inserting apparatus and method for use

An article gripping apparatus selectively grips a first article having a functional surface and a non-functional surface, and an elastically deformable second article. A first contact mechanism contacting the first article includes a plurality of contact members contacting the non-functional surface of the first article, and a suction member which chucks the first article at a position where the suction member does not contact the functional surface of the first article in a state wherein the contact members are in contact with the first article.

Article gripping apparatus

A base plate positioning mechanism in an electronic part mounting apparatus wherein a part supplying position and a mounting position are fixed, characterized in that a friction driving mechanism is used in a rotative driving unit for setting the rotated positions of an electronic part and a base plate to predetermined angles in order to adjust the part mounting position of the base plate to the fixed mounting position.
