Abstract: A machine tool comprises: a servomotor feeding a workpiece or a tool; a motor control section controlling the servomotor; and a processor connected to the motor control section, in a parameter adjustment mode while rotating a load by the servomotor with a given speed command issued to the motor control section under a condition where torque is limited, the processor calculating load inertia based on the torque and an angular acceleration of the servomotor that is obtained based on an output from the servomotor, calculating a parameter based on the load inertia, and adjusting a control parameter set to the motor control section based on the parameter.

Abstract: A machine tool is configured so that a working area in which a workpiece is worked using a tool can be monitored, and includes a cover that is provided to cover the working area, and isolates the inside of the machine tool that includes the working area from the outside, at least one camera that is provided to the inner side of the cover, and captures the inside of the machine tool, and a touch panel that is provided to the cover, wherein the touch panel includes a display panel and an input operation panel, and the display panel displays an image of the inside of the machine tool that has been captured by the at least one camera.

Abstract: A first speed and a second speed slower than the first speed are set as a contact speed when a work w and a detection jig t attached to a tool post are brought into contact with each other to detect a position or a posture of the work w, the work and the detection jig are brought into contact with each other at the first speed, the detection jig and the work contacting each other are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, the work and the detection jig which are separated from each other are brought into contact with each other at the same position at the second speed, and a correction value ? is obtained based on a tool post position or a spindle angle during the second contact.

Abstract: A combined machining apparatus includes a tool holder, a first automatic exchanger capable of containing at least one laser machining head and mounting the at least one laser machining head on the tool holder, and a second automatic exchanger capable of containing at least one mechanical machining tool and mounting the at least one mechanical machining tool on the tool holder.

Abstract: A tool changer includes at least one tool changer unit, wherein the at least one tool changer unit includes: a tool holder that receives and holds a tool; a base member that supports the tool holder so that the tool holder can be slid along a longitudinal direction of the tool; and a moving mechanism that slides the tool holder relative to the base member.

Abstract: There is provided a multi-turret lathe with two opposed spindles which is capable of machining a workpiece more effectively. The lathe with two opposed spindles includes: a first spindle (2); a second spindle (4) located opposite to the first spindle on the same axis and movable toward and away from the first spindle; and a set of two tool turrets (8a and 8c) which machines a workpiece cooperating with the first spindle, and another set of two tool turrets (8b and 8d) which machines a workpiece cooperating with the second spindle, and the two tool turrets in each of the sets are disposed opposite to each other about a spindle axis (B). Each of the four tool turrets is mounted on a tool slide which is movable and positionable in the direction of spindle axis and also in the direction perpendicular to the spindle axis. This enables each of the four tool turrets to be movable from a position to machine a workpiece held on one of the spindles and another position to machine a workpiece held on the other spindle.

Abstract: A two-opposed-main-shaft type composite NC lathe provided with a tool changeable tool spindle and tool turrets, comprising: a left turret rest and a right turret rest provided on a lower front side of a left main shaft and a right main shaft facing each other on a Z-axis; a third tool rest positioned on an upper rear side of the left and right main shafts and provided with a tool spindle; a tool magazine holding tools therein which are to be fixed to the third tool rest; and an automatic tool changing device. The left and right main shafts are provided with main shaft motors capable of controlling a C-axis and being driven independently and synchronously with each other. The tool spindle on the third tool rest is capable of controlling the directions of the Z-axis, an X-axis, a Y-axis and a B-axis and fixing the rotations thereof.
