Abstract: A machine tool including a base, a slider that is supported to be linearly movable in a direction with respect to the base, a ball screw configured to cause the slider to linearly move with respect to the base, and a chain-like carrier used for wiring a movable wire body between the base and the slider. The carrier is disposed between the base and the slider and curved in a U-shape around an axis extending in a direction in which the base and the slider are apart from each other, one end of the carrier is fixed to the slider and an other end of the carrier is fixed to the base, and a curved portion of the carrier, which is curved in the U-shape, is disposed at a position where the curved portion crosses an extension line of an axis of the ball screw.

Abstract: A machine tool includes: a column; a spindle head supported by the column; a spindle in the spindle head; a draw bar moved upward to clamp a tool to the lower end portion of the spindle and moved downward to release the tool therefrom; a biasing portion biasing the draw bar upward; a cam mechanism including a cam in the column and an arm whose one end slides on a cam surface such that the other end pushes down the draw bar; a measurement portion measuring the position of the draw bar; a storage portion storing a position relationship between the spindle head and the draw bar when the cam mechanism is normal; and an abnormality determination portion determining an abnormality in the cam mechanism based on the position of the draw bar measured with the measurement portion and the relationship stored in the storage portion.
