  • Patent number: 9067265
    Abstract: There is provided a cutting method for cutting a work by rotating a rotary tool with a circular cutting edge around an axis while a cutting fluid is supplied thereto. Cutting is performed by means of the rotary tool which is rotated in the same rotational direction as an outflow direction of chips, and the rotary tool is rotated at a rotational speed of the rotary tool at which a circumferential speed of the cutting edge is higher than an outflow speed of the chips. Thus, the area of direct solid contact between the rotary tool and the chips is reduced with the aid of a dynamic pressure effect, and the abrasion of the rotary tool is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9044838
    Abstract: A spiral groove flow passage with a clockwise spiral direction and a spiral groove flow passage with a counterclockwise spiral direction are provided inside a spindle. When the spindle is accelerated to rotate in the forward rotation direction, a pressure in the direction of causing a reverse flow of a coolant is applied to the left-hand spiral groove flow passage by the axial-flow pumping action, but a pressure in the forward direction is applied to the right-hand spiral groove flow passage by the same axial-flow pumping action to cancel out the pressure causing the reverse flow described above.

  • Publication number: 20110163221
    Abstract: A method for controlling deflection caused in a structural member when a force is applied to the structural member is described. The method includes a step of generating rotation torque in the structural member in such a direction as to cancel out the force applied to the structural member. The rotation torque is generated by a motor and a load inertia applying device such as a disc connected to the rotor. A stator of the motor is connected to the structural member and the load inertia applying device applies load inertia to a rotor of the motor.
