  • Publication number: 20230158574
    Abstract: A processing machine includes a splash guard that defines and forms a processing area, a tool spindle that is movable in a Z-axis direction and a Y-axis direction inside the processing area, an additive-manufacturing head connected to the tool spindle, and a line body that extends from the additive-manufacturing head, is drawn from an inside of the processing area to an outside, and supplies material powder and a laser beam to the additive-manufacturing head. A maximum movement amount of the tool spindle in the Y-axis direction is shorter than a maximum movement amount of the tool spindle in the Z-axis direction. A drawing direction of the line body from the inside to the outside of the processing area is a direction intersecting the Z-axis direction in top view.

  • Publication number: 20230158622
    Abstract: A processing machine includes a splash guard, a tool spindle that is provided inside a processing area and holds a tool, and an automatic tool changer that is movable between an internal-side tool changing position inside the processing area and a standby position outside the processing area and changes the tool held by the tool spindle at the internal-side tool changing position. The splash guard includes a cover body that is coupled to the automatic tool changer, defines and forms the processing area when the automatic tool changer is positioned at the standby position, and enters the processing area when the automatic tool changer moves from the standby position to the internal-side tool changing position.

  • Publication number: 20230158576
    Abstract: A processing machine includes: an external cover that forms an appearance of the processing machine and defines and forms an internal space; and a safety belt connection portion that is disposed in the internal space and to which a safety belt is connectable. The external cover includes an openable lid. The safety belt connection portion is exposed to an outside of the internal space through an opening that is generated in the external cover when the lid is in an open state.

  • Publication number: 20220219398
    Abstract: A processing machine performs additive manufacturing processing for a workpiece with a molten material. Processing machine includes a first cover having a first wall and a second wall that face each other in a horizontal 5 direction and forming a processing area between first wall and second wall. First wall is provided with a first opening allowing air to flow into processing area. Processing machine further includes an induction flow generator that generates an air flow flowing from below to upward along second wall. First cover is provided with a second opening allowing the air to 10 flow out of processing area.

  • Patent number: 8601906
    Abstract: A machine tool capable of eliminating a laborious attachment/detachment work of a cover member is provided. The machine tool includes a door device 5 having a first door 6 to cover a machining-area opening 3e when machining a workpiece and a second door 7 to cover the machining-area opening 3e when not machining the workpiece and formed to be visible an inside thereof, in which the first door 6 and the second door 7 are arranged in a movable manner between a position-in-use covering the machining-area opening 3e and a position when opened opening the machining-area opening 3e.

  • Publication number: 20080066591
    Abstract: A machine tool capable of absorbing expansion/contraction of a bundle of supplying hoses caused together with the movement of the ram in the Y-axis direction without increasing the size of the entire machine, is provided, in which a turret 5 includes a base member 8 disposed on a bed 2 in a movable manner in a Z-axis direction, a slide base 9 disposed on the base member 8 in a movable manner in an X-axis direction, a ram 11 disposed on the slide base 9 in a movable manner in a Y-axis direction being orthogonal to a plane including the X-axis and the Z-axis, and a turret body 12 mounted to the ram 11, and in which a bundle of supplying hoses 15 supplying electric power, coolant and oil pressure from the said bed 2 side to the turret body 12 is cabled to extend from the turret body 12 side through the ram 11 in the Y-axis direction by being bent in a direction crossing the Y-axis under the ram 11 to further extend in the crossing direction.
