Abstract: A workpiece support device includes: a jig, a table, a rotating shaft, a support member, a flow path connector, and a supply-side connecting portion. The jig has a main flow path to flow a fluid for machining and a sub-flow path, and fixes the workpiece. The table has a table flow path to communicate with the main flow path and is attached with the jig. The rotating shaft has a rotating shaft flow path to communicate with the table flow path, and is fixed to the table. The support member rotatably supports the rotating shaft. The flow path connector connects the rotating shaft flow path with a fluid-supply path to communicate with a fluid-supply side so as to relatively rotate with each other about an axis of the rotating shaft. The supply-side connecting portion moves relative to the jig to communicate with and block off the sub-flow path.

Abstract: A tool magazine device includes a rail that is annularly formed and that has a separation section at a part in a circumferential direction of the rail and a holding ring that is arranged coaxially with the rail and that is rotated by a driving motor. The holding ring is provided with a plurality of holding sections that are open in an axial direction of the holding ring. The holding sections are arranged in the circumferential direction of the holding ring. A tool pot is held to be insertable into and extractable from each holding section. A conveyance unit sends out the tool pot placed in the holding section to an exchange position and sends the tool pot into the holding section from the exchange position. A roller supported by each tool pot rolls on the rail in response to the rotation of the holding ring.

Abstract: A machine tool includes a spindle device; a shutter which is disposed between a tool magazine disposed over a machining chamber and the machining chamber, and is capable of opening and closing; a tool exchange device; and a tool breakage detecting device to detect whether a tool indexed to a tool detecting position of the tool magazine has breakage or not, and performs a return step of returning a first tool to the tool magazine with use of the tool exchange device; an attachment step of attaching a second tool to the spindle device; and a breakage detecting step of rotatively moving the first tool returned to the tool magazine to the tool detecting position and detecting breakage of the first tool with use of the tool breakage detecting device, after the shutter is closed. This constitution can prevent erroneous detection and improve the operational efficiency of the machine tool.
