  • Patent number: 8690499
    Abstract: High precision machining is enabled by eliminating the need for a conventional swiveling table, and by enhancing rigidity for supporting a work by relatively reducing the distance from the top surface of a stationary body section (1) to the position for machining a work by means of a tool on a rotary spindle (17). A pair of guide tracks (28a, 28b) respectively passing two positions separated in the X axis direction of the stationary body section (1) and in the Z axis direction intersecting the X axis direction perpendicularly are allowed to guide feed tables (30a, 30b) to be movable independently.

  • Patent number: 8473092
    Abstract: A working route of a main shaft is divided into a plurality of measurement points, and a length from a center of a complete round to the working route of the main shaft at each of the measurement points is measured, and this measured value is compared with a radial length of the complete round to operate a deviation amount from the complete round at each of the measurement points. This deviation amount is utilized to find a transferred position. As correction values for correcting the deviation value, an X-axis incremental amount and a Y-axis incremental amount obtained from a difference in the transferred position between the respective measurement points, or an X-axis absolute value and a Y-axis absolute value of the transferred position at each of the measurement points are incorporated into an NC working program to perform complete round working according to the program.

  • Patent number: 6305696
    Abstract: The tool holder for machine tool includes grip 10a on an outer circumference held on an automatic exchange of a cutting edge 8. A through hole 10b is in the longitudinal center. An internal thread (g) is on one end of through hole 10b, and a tool stopper 11 is screwed on internal thread (g). A through hole 11a is in the longitudinal center of tool stopper 11. A conical engaging body 10c is on the other end of through hole 10b, so that conical engaging body 10c protrudes outwards. The conical engaging body 11c connects with a tool shank taper (n) and a flanged end face (m) of a main spindle. A mist receiving tube 12 is on a connecting side of through hole 10b, and a through hole 12a is in the longitudinal center of the mist receiving tube 12. A communicating tube 14 is in the through hole 12a of mist receiving tube 12 and through hole 11a of tool stopper 11, so that communicating tube 14 bridges them to flow cutting oil directly thereinside.
