Patent ID: 8560260

Claim:
A rotation angle positioning device including: a rotation angle detection device which has a detection target ring provided on a rotating shaft and having a plurality of teeth formed at a predetermined pitch and an angle detection sensor disposed to face the teeth and generating an output according to a distance to the teeth and which finds a rotation angle of the detection target ring based on the output from the angle detection sensor; and a rotating-shaft driving device rotating the rotating shaft so as to cause the rotation angle to become a given command value for rotation angle, the rotation angle positioning device comprising: an error pattern storage unit storing a tooth-to-tooth period error pattern made up of errors between detected rotation angles by the angle detection sensor and actual rotation angles, corresponding to respective correction dividing points of an arbitrary tooth-to-tooth period in the detection target ring; and a command value correction unit correcting the command value for rotation angle based on the tooth-to-tooth period error pattern to find a corrected command value for rotation angle.
