Abstract
An encoderdetermines the remaining travel distance of a stacker crane to perform deceleration control. When a linear sensordetermines an absolute distance from the stop position, the linear sensorperforms deceleration control, and when a mark sensordetects a mark, the mark sensorperforms stop control. Likewise, deceleration control is performed based on the remaining elevation distance determined by an encoder. When a linear sensordetermines an absolute distance from the stop position, the linear sensorperforms deceleration control, and when the mark sensordetects the mark, the mark sensorperforms stop control.
