Abstract

An apparatus for controlling cooling of a linear motor includes: a stator having a first temperature sensor, a heat sink and at least one cooling fan installed at a predetermined portion thereof; a mover having a second temperature sensor and a heat sink installed at the upper surface thereof; an encoder for sensing a position of the mover and generating a position signal; an A/D converter for receiving and converting signals from the first and the second temperature sensors and outputting a first and a second temperature sensing signals; a controller for generating a plurality of cooling fan control signals and an air valve control signal to cool the heat generated from the stator and the mover; a D/A converter for converting the plurality of cooling fan control signals and the air valve control signal and transmitting a plurality of drive signals to the plurality of cooling fans and to the air valve; and a mover driver for providing a drive signal to a coil block.
