Method and apparatus for correcting positional deviation of finite linear rolling guide

摘要

There is provided a finite type rolling guide deviation correcting method and system capable of detecting the deviation in relative position between a rolling guide and a movable body if the deviation in relative position increases, and automatically carrying out a correcting operation for returning the deviation in relative position to a normal positional relationship. The finite type rolling guide deviation correcting method corrects a relative positional relationship between a finite type rolling guide for guiding a reciprocating motion of a movable body and the movable body. This method comprises the steps of: detecting whether the rolling guide exists below one end portion of the movable body in a moving direction, of both end portions of the movable body in reciprocating directions; moving the movable body toward the other end portion at a low speed when it is detected that the rolling guide does not exist below the one end portion of the movable body in the moving direction; and correcting the deviation in relative position between the movable body and the rolling guide by moving the movable body to a stroke end while forcing to stop of a row of the rolling guide in the vicinity of the stroke end.
