  • Publication number: 20240066654
    Abstract: Provided is a measuring device which, with respect to a measuring instrument for measuring the length of a cutting tool, measures the distance from a reference position of a machine tool to a tool detection position of the measuring instrument. The measuring device comprises: a movement control unit for controlling movement of a standard tool attached to the machine tool; a detection unit for detecting a detection signal indicating a tool detection position output by pressing-down of the measuring instrument; and an identification unit for identifying the tool detection position of the measuring instrument, on the basis of the position of the tip of the standard tool at the timing of detecting the detection signal. The detection unit detects the detection signal indicating that the tip of the standard tool is present within a tool detectable range including the tool detection position.

  • Publication number: 20230158624
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a tool measuring system, a control method, and a program with which it is possible for a cutting tool to be measured easily. This tool measuring system is provided with: a tool measuring device; a tool moving unit; a tool measuring unit; a tool correcting unit for feeding back the measured tool length and tool diameter of the cutting tool to a tool diameter correction number and a diameter correction number of the cutting tool; and a program computing unit for computing the operations of the tool measuring device, the tool moving unit, the tool measuring unit, and the tool correcting unit as instructions operable by the machine tool from a one-line control program in order to instruct the machine tool.

  • Patent number: 9750146
    Abstract: A portable device includes a circuit board, a first member, and a second member. The circuit board is held and fastened between the first member and the second member. The first member includes a wall that extends toward the second member from the first member. The second member includes an engaging portion. The engaging portion includes an extension, which extends toward the first member from the second member, and a hook, which projects from the extension in a direction extending along an end surface of the circuit board. The portable device further includes an engaged portion located along an inner side of the wall. Engagement of the engaged portion with the hook of the engaging portion fastens the first member to the second member.
