  • Patent number: 10921770
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a machine component includes determining a track of a cutting edge and feeding the cutting edge along the track. The determining a track includes calculating a coordinate (X(t), Y(t), Z(t)) of a first end portion of the cutting edge in accordance with X(t)=(Rsh(t)cos ?(t)?Xchip(t)), Y(t)=(Rsh(t)sin ?(t)?Ychip(t)), and Z(t)=(Zsh(t)?Zchip(t)), where a variable t assumes (N+1) values not smaller than 0 and not greater than 1. ?(t) represents an angle formed by a straight line connecting a point of cutting projected on an XY plane and an origin of the XY plane to each other with respect to an X axis, and ?(t) satisfies a condition tan ? ? ? ? ( t ) = tan ? ? ? · tan ? ? ? s - tan ? ? ? · tan 2 ? ? + tan 2 ? ? - tan 2 ? ? s tan ? ? ? · tan ? ? ? s + tan ? ? ? · tan 2 ? ? + tan 2 ? ? - tan 2 ? ? s .

  • Patent number: 10906151
    Abstract: A method of correcting a track of a cutting edge is provided. With movement of the cutting edge, a point on the cutting edge in contact with the rotation symmetry plane is moved along the cutting edge from a first end portion of the cutting edge to a second end portion of the cutting edge opposite to the first end portion. The correction method includes measuring, by a measurement unit, a shape of the cut and machined rotation symmetry plane, calculating, by an operation unit, an error of the measured shape of the rotation symmetry plane from a target shape of the rotation symmetry plane in a direction of the axial line of rotation, and correcting, by the operation unit, a component in the direction of the axial line of rotation of a track of a point of cutting based on the error.

  • Publication number: 20200164461
    Abstract: A hollow structure includes: a main portion having an inner circumferential surface; and a flange portion including a first overhanging portion and a second overhanging portion that protrude outward from an outer circumference of the main portion and face each other. A first surface of the first overhanging portion and a second surface of the second overhanging portion are continuous with the inner circumferential surface, and the flange portion has a joint portion at which the first surface and the second surface are joined together. The main portion and the flange portion are formed of a metal material composed mainly of a light metal, and the formula ?<A/W1 is satisfied, where W1 is the width of the flange portion, and A is the width of the joint portion.

  • Patent number: 10543537
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a machine component having a rotation symmetry plane includes machining a rotation symmetry plane. The machining a rotation symmetry plane includes determining a track of the cutting. The determining a track determines the track in accordance with a condition that (1) a first end portion of the cutting edge is positioned at a cutting start position of the rotation symmetry plane, (2) N regions defined by division of the cutting edge successively come in contact with the rotation symmetry plane, (3) an inclination of a tangent line at a point of cutting of each of the N regions is equal to a target inclination of a tangent line which passes through the point of cutting and comes in contact with the rotation symmetry plane in a cut plane of the rotation symmetry plane, and (4) a second end of the cutting edge is positioned at a cutting end position of the rotation symmetry plane.
