Claims
- 1. A slicing apparatus for cutting a to-be-machined object by supporting the to-be-machined object on a table, causing this table to travel in an x-axis direction which is perpendicular to a y-axis direction, and slicing said to-be-machined object, comprising:a sensor for detecting a variable load as received by the to-be-machined object during slicing and generating a detection signal in response thereto, said sensor being positioned between the to-be-machined object and the table; and an actuator responsive to said detection signal of said sensor for applying a deformable force to said to-be-machined object in a direction which reduces the variable load.
- 2. The slicing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said sensor detects a variable load with respect to one of said x-axis and y-axis directions, and said actuator adjusts a force applied to said to-be-machined object in one of said x-axis and y-axis directions.
- 3. The slicing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said sensor detects a variable load with respect to said y-axis direction, and said actuator adjusts a force applied to said to-be-machined object in said y-axis direction, and further wherein said actuator is located between the to-be-machined object and the sensor.
- 4. The slicing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said sensor detects a variable load with respect to said y-axis direction, and said actuator adjusts a force applied to said to-be-machined object in said y-axis direction, and further wherein said actuator is provided between the to-be-machined object and the table.
- 5. The slicing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said sensor detects a variable load with respect to said x-axis direction, and said actuator adjusts a force applied to said to-be-machined object in said x-axis direction, and further wherein said actuator is located between said sensor and said table.
- 6. The slicing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said sensor is positioned between two resilient spring members.
- 7. The slicing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said actuator is attached directly to said sensor at one end and to a mount base on an opposite end, said mount base being secured to said table.
- 8. The slicing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said sensor detects a variable load with respect to said x-axis direction, and said actuator adjusts a force applied to said to-be-machined object in said x-axis direction, and further wherein said actuator is located adjacent to said sensor.
- 9. The slicing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said sensor and said actuator form an assembly, and wherein said assembly is attached to a support base on one end thereof and attached to a mount base on an opposite end, said mount base being secured to said table.
- 10. The slicing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said support base is positioned between two resilient spring members.
- 11. The slicing apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein said actuator is a piezoelectric actuator.
- 12. The slicing apparatus as recited in claim 1, further including a filter for extracting from the detection signal of said sensor variable components of a load received by the to-be-machined object, and generating a filtered output signal.
- 13. The slicing apparatus as recited in claim 12, further including a phrase inversion circuit for receiving and inverting said filtered output signal, and for supplying said received and inverted filtered output signal to said actuator.
