Abstract: Provided is an internal-gear machining device and an internal-gear machining method capable of offsetting an angle of inclination at a cutter axis using a conventional configuration and performing high-precision machining. The internal-gear machining device gear cuts a workpiece with a pinion cutter by feeding and causing the pinion cutter to cut while synchronously rotating the pinion cutter and the workpiece in mesh with each other, wherein prior to gear cutting, the pinion cutter is positioned so that a cutter axis is parallel shifted within a XY plane in accordance with the angle of inclination of the cutter axis, and a meshing position of the pinion cutter and the workpiece is shifted in a cutter rotational direction.

Abstract: This machine tool is provided with an arithmetic control unit that: controls a motor so as to measure the positions of raw material holes in a boom using an imaging camera held on a main shaft (S111-S113); calculates the positions of the center axes of the raw material holes on the basis of the information about the positions of the raw material holes captured by the imaging cameras (S114, S115); calculates distances between two center axes of interest (S116); and, when at least one of the calculated distances does not meet a prescribed value (S117), calculates the most suitable positions for process holes from minimum holes that comply with formulae (1111-1) to (1114-1) and (1141-1) to (1144-1) on the basis of equations (1101), (1111) to (1114), and (1141) to (1144) (S121); and controls the motor so as to form process holes in the positions calculated as the most suitable and cuts raw material holes using a tool held on the main shaft (S122, S123).

Abstract: Provided is a main spindle mechanism for a machine tool such that even in the case of a small-diameter spindle, it is possible to increase the torque transmitted to a large cutter and it is possible to prevent contact to and collisions with the workpiece. The main spindle mechanism, which is provided to a machine tool that cuts a workpiece by means of a cutter, is characterized by having: a spindle that transmits torque from the drive power source of the machine tool and is formed with outer teeth at the outer periphery of the tip thereof; a large cutter arbor provided with a shaft for attaching the large cutter and a base at which outer teeth are formed having the same diameter as the outer teeth of the spindle; and a gear-coupling-shaped sleeve that is provided in a manner so as to cover the base of the large cutter arbor and the tip of the spindle, and at which are formed inner teeth that mesh with both the outer teeth of the spindle and the outer teeth of the large cutter arbor.

Abstract: This gear cutting machine, which is equipped with a cutter (15), a cutter spindle motor (11) that causes, via a crank mechanism (13) and a cutter spindle (16), the cutter (15) perform a stroke operation, and a motor control unit (10) that controls the rotation angle of the cutter spindle motor (11), is provided with a relieving spindle motor (12) that causes the cutter (15) to move in the direction of a relieving spindle via a link mechanism (four-joint link mechanism (14)). The motor control unit (10) controls the rotation angle of the relieving spindle motor (12) on the basis of the rotation angle of the cutter spindle motor (11). Consequently, a gear cutting machine that accurately controls the relieving operation in accordance with a desired shape, such as crowning and tapering of a gear to be cut can be provided.
