  • Patent number: 9317084
    Abstract: In a thermal displacement compensating device and a thermal displacement compensating method for a machine tool, a block temperature obtaining section obtains temperatures of respective blocks based on temperature information detected by temperature sensors wherein temperatures in each of the respective blocks into which a column is divided to be pluralized are defined as a uniform value. An FEM analysis section performs a structural analysis by a finite element method based on the temperatures of the respective blocks obtained by the block temperature obtaining section and infers thermal displacement amounts of the column. A compensation value calculation section calculates a compensation value for a machining command position based on the thermal displacement amounts of the column inferred by the FEM analysis section. A compensation section compensates the machining command position by the compensation value obtained by the compensation value calculation section.

  • Patent number: 8800397
    Abstract: Temperatures of a base, a support member, and a support member are measured, and amounts of linear expansion of the base, the support member, and the support member due to temperature differences from a reference temperature are computed. An amount of linear expansion of a ball screw with respect to the support member is measured. An amount of linear expansion of a lead of the ball screw is computed based on the sum of the aforementioned amounts of linear expansion, and an amount of rotation of the ball screw is adjusted from an amount of rotation of the ball screw at the reference temperature, to an amount of rotation of the ball screw, which corresponds to the amount of linear expansion of the lead at a predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 4538666
    Abstract: A gas venting arrangement incorporated into a mold for use in a die casting or injection mold machine, having a passage for venting gases including by-pass passages and a valve chamber consisting of a forward portion formed in the mold where the valve is slidably received and a rear portion formed by a member separate from the mold. The valve and the passage are designed so that the valve is forced to move from an opened position to a closed position to shut the passage upon axial impingement of a melt from a cavity of the mold. The arrangement has a first system for biasing the valve into the opened position, a second system for biasing the valve into the opened position upon the melt impingement, and a system for releasing the valve from the second biasing means to return from the opened position to the closed position.
