Abstract: A tool includes a tool body extending along a tool axis, and a thread protruding in a direction away from the tool axis on an outer surface of the tool body and provided in a spiral shape about the tool axis. The thread includes a first region located on one side in a spiral direction and a reference region located on another side in the spiral direction with respect to the first region. The first region includes a one-side tooth flank that is a surface on one side in a tool axial direction and an other-side tooth flank that is a surface on the other side in the tool axial direction. The reference region includes a one-side tooth flank that is a surface on one side in the tool axial direction and another-side tooth flank that is a surface on the other side in the tool axial direction.

Abstract: A gear manufacturing machine for which a machining tool detachably attached to a tool spindle is exchanged by means of an automatic tool changer, wherein the automatic tool changer is provided with: tool holding means for detachably holding a machining tool to be exchanged; moving means for moving the tool holding means in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the tool spindle; and rotating means for rotating the tool holding means.

Abstract: This device is provided with: a main shaft (20) onto which a tool (100) is detachably mounted; a rod (30) slidably supported by the main shaft (20) and configured to attach or detach the tool (100) to or from the main shaft (20) through a sliding action; a fluid channel (32) formed in the rod (30); fluid feed device (51, 70) configured to feed a fluid into the fluid channel (32); a plurality of fluid channels for seating detection (24) for detecting when the main shaft (20) and the tool (100) are in a seated state, the fluid channels for seating detection (24) being formed in the main shaft (20) so as to communicate with the fluid channel (32) when the rod (30) is positioned at a first position; and a plurality of fluid channels for cleaning (25) for cleaning seating portions of the main shaft (20) and the tool (100), the fluid channel for cleaning (25) being formed in the main shaft (20) so as to communicate with the fluid channel (32) when the rod (30) is positioned at a second position different from the f
