  • Patent number: 9333563
    Abstract: A drilling work control method includes: automatically discriminating two or more working object layers where load torque applied to a drill forms a hole in a workpiece having plural forming areas formed of materials of different qualities; facilitating drilling work in a working condition set for each working object layer; and improving working efficiency. In a drilling work device that forms the hole in the workpiece having forming layers divided by materials of different qualities, a working object layer determining means determines the layers in order of drilling work based on start of drilling work and variation in load torque applied to the drill, a working condition deciding means decides a set working spindle speed and working feeding speed corresponding to forming materials of the respective layers, and a drive controlling means controls a spindle motor and feeding motor so that the drill forms the hole at the set speeds.

  • Patent number: 9308588
    Abstract: A clamping device can clamp a processing object and a hole drilling apparatus with high accuracy, and maintain a stable thrust force with a small size. The clamping device clamps the hole drilling device that drills a hole through the processing object. The clamping device includes: a clamp plate drive unit disposed at the front end portion, on the processing object side, of the hole drilling apparatus; a clamp plate that advances and retreats along the machining shaft of the hole drilling apparatus in association with the clamp plate drive unit; a bush that advances and retreats integrally with the clamp plate, and a collet whose diameter is expanded by the advancing and retreating of the bush to be engaged with a jig plate for position definition of a drill (hole drilling tool) for drilling a hole through the processing object.

  • Patent number: 9296048
    Abstract: A drive system can be simplified and downsized, improves its operability, and can be configured to clamp or unclamp a work at an accurate drive timing. This invention is a clamp device of a drill. This invention includes a clamp collet inserted into a hole formed in the work, a mandrels inserted slidably inside the clamp collet, a piston-cylinder mechanism reciprocating the mandrels axially, and a directional valve driving a piston. The directional valve includes a forward introduction port introducing a pressured fluid for advancing a ram of the drill, and a main introduction port introducing the main pressured fluid. When the pressured fluid is introduced to the forward introduction port, it is clamped by a one-way movement of the piston.

  • Patent number: 9061389
    Abstract: To provide a working unit ejecting mist of the excellent quality. A working unit includes a body, a ram, a forward and backward moving mechanism moving the ram forward and backward, a tool, a holding section holding the tool and moving forward and backward integrally with the ram, a spindle motor rotating the holding section, and a mist supply portion supplying mist mixed with air and cutting oil to the tool and works a workpiece while supplying the mist. The tool has through-holes supplying the mist to a cutting blade portion. The holding section includes a collet holding the tool and a collet holder having an inner cylindrical portion into which the collet is inserted with a communication hole to which the mist supplied from the mist supply portion 10 is introduced being formed from the inner cylindrical portion to an outer peripheral portion.
