Abstract

A spindle control system enables a gear change while a spindle is rotating by calculating the position of a motor shaft when gears are reengaged by a target position calculating circuit, and outputting speed commands for the motor shaft by a position control circuit based on the calculation result, and switching by a switching circuit so as to input the speed commands to a speed control circuit. That is, the spindle control system is of the type which controls a spindle in speed and position by a motor via a variable speed gear mechanism, and which includes: a target position calculating circuit for calculating the position of a motor shaft when gears are engaged therewith based on a gear command, the detected position of the spindle and the detected position of a motor shaft; a position control circuit for outputting speed commands for the motor shaft based on the result of the calculation by the target position calculating circuit, and a switch circuit for switching circuits so as to input the speed commands outputted from the position control circuit to a speed control circuit for the motor when gear engagement is to be changed.
