  • Patent number: 9468984
    Abstract: A broaching device is provided with puller heads (132,134) that hold tip portions of broaches (116) and are supported in a horizontally freely movable manner, main motors (136, 140) capable of moving the puller heads (132, 134), retriever heads (133,135) that hold base end portions of the broaches (116) and are supported in a horizontally freely movable manner, sub motors (138,142) capable of moving the retriever heads (133,135), and a control device (117) that enables the puller heads (132,134) and the retriever heads (133, 135) to be synchronized with each other and to move at a fixed speed by controlling the motors (136,138,140,142), whereby machining accuracy can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20090274400
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotating-body support structure that is capable of obtaining a damping effect of a rotating body with a simple configuration. To this end, the rotating-body support structure is configured to include a housing (21) and a bush portion (24) which is supported by the housing (21) and which rotatably supports a boring bar (11); and to have oil filled between the housing (21) and the bush portion (24).

  • Publication number: 20090074523
    Abstract: A deep-hole drilling apparatus capable of preventing a tool mark from growing is provided. The deep-hole drilling apparatus provided for this purpose comprises: a tool (12) that is rotationally driven to drill a deep hole (Wa) in a work (W); an acceleration meter (19) that detects vibration of the tool (12) as the acceleration during deep hole processing; a monitoring apparatus (20) which performs frequency analysis on the acceleration detected by the acceleration meter (19) and which determines that a tool mark is produced in the deep hole (Wa) when the overall value of the whirling frequency and the bending natural frequency within a frequency range not including the torsional natural frequency on torsional vibration, constantly produced during the deep hole processing, exceeds a predetermined threshold (?); and an NC apparatus (18) that controls both revolution and feeding speed of the tool (12) on the basis of the determination made by the monitoring apparatus (20).
