  • Publication number: 20150174631
    Abstract: A device for drawing a metal tube capable of sufficiently applying a lubricating oil to an inner surface of a tube at the time of drawing and preventing occurrence of seizures is provided. The device for drawing a metal tube in which drawing is performed by making a metal blank tube 2 pass through between a die 10 for forming an outer surface and a plug 11 for forming an inner surface includes a control unit 31 configured to: measure an elapsed time from a time at which supplying of a lubricating oil L to a surface of the plug 11 is stopped until the metal blank tube 2 is set at a drawing position between the die 10 and the plug 11 and becomes ready to be drawn; control to not perform drawing of the metal blank tube 2 when the measured elapsed time exceeds a preset elapsed time; and control to initiate drawing of the metal blank tube 2 when the measured elapsed time is within a preset allowed time.

  • Patent number: 7524234
    Abstract: A honing machine 1 is provided with a honing zone 5 for subjecting a work 2 to a liquid honing process and a washing zone 6 for subjecting the work 2 to which the liquid honing process was executed at the honing zone 5 to a washing process in a housing 4 shielded from an external air, the honing zone 5 and the washing zone 6 being disposed adjacently. A partition wall 7 for preventing an ambient gas of the honing zone 5 from entering into the washing zone 6 is disposed between the honing zone 5 and the washing zone 6 in the housing 4. An in-liquid conveying apparatus 10 for conveying the work 2 to which the liquid honing process was executed at the honing zone 5 from the honing zone 5 to the washing zone 6 with the work kept immersed in the liquid 72 in a carrying bath 11 is disposed in the housing 4.
