  • Publication number: 20220111445
    Abstract: A three-dimensional deposition device includes a deposition head provided with a powder jetting port from which powder is jetted, a light beam irradiation port from which a light beam is emitted, and a fiber connection port connected to a fiber guiding the light beam; a head moving part that moves the deposition head along a vertical direction; a base part to which the powder is jetted and the light beam is emitted from the deposition head; a base moving part that moves the base part along a first direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and a second direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and the first direction; and a rotation mechanism that is connected to the deposition head and rotates the deposition head about a rotation axis crossing the vertical direction to switch, by rotating the deposition head, between a first state and a second state.

  • Patent number: 9058030
    Abstract: Provided is a horizontal machine tool which achieves remarkable accuracy improvement by correcting spatial accuracy while stabilizing the swing of a main spindle. To this end, a horizontal machine tool (10) is provided with: a ram tension bar (20) which corrects the deflection of a ram (17); a lifting force correction mechanism (30) which corrects the inclination of a saddle (16) by adjusting lifting force at two positions where the saddle (16) is lifted; a column tension bar (40) which corrects the bend of a column (14); and a control device which controls the ram tension bar (20), the lifting force correction mechanism (30) and the column tension bar (40) and has a spatial accuracy correction function of correcting the spatial accuracy by numerical control.

  • Patent number: 8579561
    Abstract: A spindle device of machine tool includes a pressure sensor (31) that detects a pressing force to a rod (18) by a drive (25), a displacement sensor (32) that detects displacement of the rod (18), a tool clamping-force detector (33) that detects a clamping force to a tool (19) by a collet (20) based on the pressing force to the rod (18) and the displacement of the rod (18), and a spring-replacement-timing determining unit (36) that determines a replacement timing of disc springs (24) based on the tool clamping force and a preset biasing force characteristic value of the disc springs (24), thereby allowing highly accurate determination of a replacement timing of a biasing unit by appropriately detecting a tool clamping force.
