Patent ID: 7182427

Claim:
A cut-processing apparatus comprising: tool reciprocating means for reciprocating a tool by normal/reverse direction of rotation of a carriage motor through a carriage power transmission system including a carriage gear train; sheet feeding means for feeding a sheet synchronized with, and orthogonal to a direction of, the reciprocation of the tool, by normal/reverse direction of rotation of a sheet feed motor through a sheet feed power transmission system including a sheet feed gear train so as to cut out the sheet based on input information; control data generating means for generating control data based on the input information, the control data including tool move control data to reciprocate the tool and sheet feed control data to feed the sheet; storing means for storing an amount of loss inclusive of tool move loss due to backlash in the carriage gear train occurring at tool move direction shift and sheet feed loss due to backlash in the sheet feed gear train occurring at sheet feed direction shift; and correcting means for correcting the control data inclusive of the tool move control data based on the stored amount of tool move loss and the sheet feed control data based on the stored amount of sheet feed loss.
