Abstract:
A device for controlling rotation of a rotating drum, the device comprising:a rotational position detection unit for detecting a rotational position of the rotating drum at least for each rotation thereof; a stop control pulse generation unit for calculating a stop control pulse on the basis of a first rotational position of the rotating drum and generating the same, which first rotational position has been detected by the rotational position detection unit after a stop signal for instructing stopping of rotation of the rotating drum is input and; a correction unit for correcting the stop control pulse on the basis of a positional deviation between the first rotational position detected at the time of commencing generation of the stop control pulse and a second rotational position of the rotating drum detected after the stop control pulse has been generated and; a control unit for controlling stopping of the drum on the basis of the corrected stop control pulse corrected by the correction unit.
