Patent number: 6099216Abstract: A profile processing method and a processing machine therefor which can obtain a good finish surface accuracy in all the carving surfaces and curb the decrease in tool's life are provided.More specifically, an end mill is first moved along an outermost side of an annular groove in carving the annular groove to a work. Consequently, the end mill is gradually moved to inside to be moved and carve along the annular groove. When the outermost side of the annular groove is carved, the movement path of the end mill is selected so that the outermost side is down-cut (counterclockwise in FIG. 5). When further inner side is carved, the movement path of the end mill is selected so that the direction of the relative movement path is opposite to the direction of the relative movement path when the outermost side is carved, in other words, the carved surfaces are down-cut by the end mill.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1998Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Toshiba Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Momochi, Masahito Shiozaki, Makoto Sagara

Patent number: 5238340Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in a tilting mechanism for a saddle swivel head for a double housing type machine tool. The saddle swivel head 13 is provided at the sides thereof in the tilting direction with hydraulic cylinders 18R, 18L, to which is connected a hydraulic piping system 19 for giving swivel balancing pressures and back pressures when the swivel head 13 is tilted by a predetermined angle by a tilting driving mechanism. The saddle swivel head 13 is tilted while providing swivel balancing pressures to the hydraulic cylinders 18R, 18L, and after tilting the head by the predetermined angle, back pressures are applied to the hydraulic cylinders 18R, 18L to compensate for a tilting moment of the saddle swivel head 13.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1992Date of Patent: August 24, 1993Assignee: Toshiba Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akira Ochiai, Yutaka Saito, Makoto Sagara
