  • Patent number: 10525549
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a friction stir welding device with which the temperature in the proximity of a weld part on a member to be welded can be intermittently measured by enabling the temperature of a plurality of sites in a rotary tool (4) used for friction stir welding to be ascertained in real-time when welding. This rotary tool (4) for a friction stir welding device comprises: a hollow channel (26a) that extends from the upper end of a shoulder part (4c) to the proximity of the lower end of a probe (4d), and that is on substantially the same axis as the axis of rotation of the shoulder part (4c); and a hollow, outer periphery channel (26b) that is apart from the axis of rotation of the shoulder part (4c) in the radial direction and in proximity of the outer periphery of the shoulder part (4c), and that extends from the upper end of the shoulder part to the proximity of the lower end thereof.

  • Publication number: 20180243873
    Abstract: Provided is a temperature measurement device for a rotating member of a processing device that grips a rotating member made from a metal and capable of rotating around a rotational axis, and moves in coordination with and coaxially rotates with the rotating member. This temperature measurement device is equipped with: an ideal temperature setting means for setting an ideal temperature while the rotating member is rotating; a temperature measurement means for measuring an actual temperature while the rotating member is rotating; and a detection means for detecting whether or not the difference between the actual temperature measured by the temperature measurement means and the ideal temperature set by the ideal temperature setting means exceeds a pre-set threshold at the time the actual temperature is measured.

  • Publication number: 20180178293
    Abstract: Provided is a rotary machine tool with which it is possible to measure, in real time, the damage or extreme wear thereof. The rotary machine tool of the present invention is provided with at least: a sensor installation hole which has the rear end being open to the exterior at the rear end of the main body of the rotary cutting tool, and the tip being above the tip of the main body of the rotary machine tool and closed off from the exterior; a sensor that is positioned at the tip of the sensor installation hole and detects the state at the positioned position; and a sensor insertion hole that is connected to one end of the sensor and is coupled with the rear end of the rotary cutting tool.
