  • Publication number: 20150195104
    Abstract: Upon receipt of an intercepted first Ethernet Frame, a communication system converts the first Ethernet Frame into a second Ethernet Frame including a second identifier based on the first identifier and the conversion information, and sends the second Ethernet Frame toward a first input/output port identified by the second identifier. The system, in sending an Ethernet Frame on which communication service has been executed from the virtual machine, converts the Ethernet Frame on which the communication service has been executed into a third Ethernet Frame including a third identifier identifying a second input/output port of the virtual machine which has executed the communication service. The system converts the third Ethernet Frame into the first Ethernet Frame including the first identifier based on the third identifier and the conversion information and sends the first Ethernet Frame toward the destination of the first Ethernet Frame.

  • Patent number: 9033623
    Abstract: At a contact step in a tool radius adjusting method, a reference portion of a movable body provided radially movably on a housing of a boring tool and a position adjusting reference member fixed on a machine tool are brought into contact by sliding the movable body relative to the housing so that the position of a cutting blade comes to a predetermined position in a direction to go away from a rotational axis. Then, at an adjusting step, the position of the cutting blade relative to the rotational axis is adjusted by changing the relative position between a tool spindle holding the boring tool and the position adjusting reference member in a direction to come close to each other by drive mechanisms of the machine tool used for positioning a spindle head with the tool spindle relative to a workpiece in machining the workpiece with the cutting blade.

  • Patent number: 8998785
    Abstract: A tool radius adjusting device executes an operation for adjusting the tool radius of a boring holder in parallel with execution of a machining program for executing an operation of a spindle head and an operation of a tool changer. A carrier control unit determines whether the tool changer is executing a tool changing process. When the tool changing process is not being executed, the carrier control unit allows the carrier device to execute an operation for picking the boring holder out from the tool magazine and an operation for returning the boring holder, of which the tool radius has been adjusted, to the tool magazine.
