Abstract: This liquid surface detection device comprises: a liquid retention part in which hydrogen peroxide water is retained, the hydrogen peroxide water to be atomized by a vibrating plate in which a through-hole is provided; a float positioned inside the liquid retention part; and a sensor that detects, via the float, the arrival of the liquid surface of the hydrogen peroxide water retained in the liquid retention device at a prescribed position.

Abstract: A rotary table (1) includes a base body (10), a worm wheel (21), an inner ring (22), a plurality of rolling elements, and a worm screw unit (30). The worm screw unit (32) includes a worm screw (31) and a worm screw housing (32). The worm screw housing (32) has an opposing surface that faces an outer circumferential surface (21B) of the worm wheel (21). The worm screw housing (32) includes a flange portion (325) that protrudes from the opposing surface and covers a side face (215A) that, of the first gear (215) facing the opposing surface, is on the opposite side from the base body (10) in the axial direction of the worm wheel (21).

Abstract: A rotary table includes a base body, a movable ring rotatably arranged on the base body, a fixed ring arranged on an inner periphery side of the movable ring and fixed to the base body, and a plurality of rolling elements. The rotary table includes a sensor fixed to the base body and a dog fixed to the movable ring. The movable ring has a scale extending at least at a portion of an outer peripheral side surface, and a groove-shaped recess formed to be recessed inward from an outer periphery of the movable ring at a position corresponding to the scale on the outer periphery. The dog has a leg portion fitted to the recess, and a detected portion protruding outward from the leg portion and detectable by the sensor. The leg portion is able to be fixed to the movable ring at any position in the recess.

Abstract: A table driving device includes a first housing having first and second housing holes, a first bearing fitted in the first housing hole, a shaft member inserted in the first bearing and second housing hole, a second housing including an annular portion inserted between an inner surface surrounding the second housing hole and shaft member, a second bearing between the annular portion and shaft member, and a bracket. An annular space is formed between the annular portion and shaft member. The bracket includes a first protruding portion inserted into the annular space, which is in contact with an end surface of the second bearing and with at least part of the annular portion so that a center of the annular portion is located inside a triangle obtained by connecting three points selected from a part of the first protruding portion in contact with the inner surface of the annular portion.

Abstract: A crankshaft shape inspection method includes: acquisition step that acquires three-dimensional point cloud data of a surface of a crankshaft S; generation step that generates, while using the three-dimensional point cloud data, first point cloud data based on point cloud data generated by performing isolated point removal processing that removes data points whose distance to the nearest neighbor data point is equal to or more than first threshold value Th1 and generates second point cloud data based on point cloud data generated by performing isolated point removal processing that removes data points whose distance to the nearest neighbor data point is equal to or more than second threshold value Th2 (>the first threshold value Th1); and a calculation step that calculates a side dimension of a counterweight SC using the first point cloud data and calculates a longitudinal position of the counterweight SC using the second point cloud data.

Abstract: A crankshaft shape inspection method includes: acquiring three-dimensional point cloud data of a surface of a crankshaft S; superposing the three-dimensional point cloud data on a surface shape model of the crankshaft S; moving the three-dimensional point cloud data superposed on the surface shape model to match with a coordinate system used when the crankshaft S is machined; generating an estimated machined surface, which is the surface after machining of a predetermined machining portion of the crankshaft S, in the coordinate system used when the crankshaft S is machined; and calculating a distance between machining portion point cloud data extracted from the three-dimensional point cloud data moved and the estimated machined surface generated and determining a machining stock of the crankshaft S to be insufficient based on the calculated distance.
