Abstract
A reciprocating apparatus comprises a reciprocating member, a drive mechanism, an input device, a work-switch position calculating unit configured to calculate a work-switch position for the drive mechanism, a direction-switch position calculating unit configured to calculate a direction-switch position, a remaining-distance calculating unit configured to calculate a remaining distance that is a difference between the direction-switch position calculated by the direction-switch position calculating unit and a direction-switch position input at the input device, a target direction-switch position calculating unit configured to add the remaining distance, to the direction-switch position calculated by the direction-switch position calculating unit, thereby to calculate a target direction-switch position, and a corrected position calculating unit configured to calculates a corrected work-switch position for the drive mechanism so that the drive mechanism may cause the reciprocating member to start moving in the opposite direction at the target direction-switch position calculated by the target direction-switch position calculating unit.
