  • Patent number: 10414024
    Abstract: A polishing tool unit (1) includes a brush-shaped grinding stone (4) and a tool holder (2). The tool holder (2) includes a shank (2a), a sleeve (6), a gear screw (30), and a nut (36). The nut (36) is screwed onto a bolt portion (34) of the gear screw (30). The brush-shaped grinding stone (4) is connected to the front side of the nut (36) and held by the tool holder (2). The gear screw (30) is rotatable relative to the shank (2a) and the sleeve (6) about the axis (L). While rotation of the nut (36) about the axis (L) is regulated, the gear screw (30) is rotated, whereby the nut (36) is moved and the protruding amount of linear grinding members (3) is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 10324448
    Abstract: Provided is a program of calculating a tool path that processes a workpiece having a complicated shape with use of an apparatus enabling multiaxial control in a program including a robot or the like with simple information input. A path calculation program for calculating a tool path for processing a curved processed part formed by a hole provided in a curved-surface-shaped workpiece functions as a workpiece shape information inputter configured to input workpiece shape information about a shape of the workpiece and a shape of the curve, a tool shape information inputter configured to input tool shape information about a shape of the tool, and a tool position calculator configured to calculate a tool position enabling a specified point on the curve to be processed by the tool based on the input workpiece shape information and tool shape information.

  • Publication number: 20190022818
    Abstract: An object is to provide a working method capable of efficiently deburring and polishing a workpiece and making the life of a brush in use long in a machine tool not having power to directly rotate a tool and capable of working the workpiece by bringing the tool and the workpiece in contact with each other while causing the tool and the workpiece to perform a relative motion. The present invention relates to a working method of working a workpiece by rotating a brush-like grinding wheel by causing a brush-like grinding wheel and a workpiece to perform a relative motion while bringing the brush-like grinding wheel and the workpiece in contact with each other in a machine tool not having power to rotate a tool.

  • Patent number: 6542424
    Abstract: A memory cell array configured using static memory cells is provided with pre-amplifiers each of which receives a signal of a memory cell, which is read into each complementary bit line pair, and a main amplifier which receives a signal outputted from each of the pre-amplifiers. The number of the plurality of memory cells connected to the complementary bit lines is restricted in such a manner that the amplitude of the signal read into each complementary bit line pair, which is supplied to the input of the pre-amplifier, becomes greater than that of a signal outputted from the pre-amplifier during a period of from the selection of a word line to the start of the operation of the main amplifier.
