Abstract: A machined surface quality evaluation device includes a machine learning device that learns a result of evaluation on machined surface quality of a workpiece by an observer which correspond to an inspection result on the machined surface quality of the workpiece. The machine learning device observes the inspection result on the machined surface quality of the workpiece as a state variable, acquires label data indicating the result of the evaluation on the machined surface quality of the workpiece by the observer, and learns the state variable and the label data in a manner such that they are correlated each other.

Abstract: A machine tool system includes a machine tool main body for machining a workpiece supported on a table by using a tool detachably attached to a spindle, and an information processing apparatus. The machine tool main body includes a rotary tool magazine in which multiple grips each capable of holding the tool to be attached to the spindle are provided along the circumferential direction, and an image pickup device that is arranged in the tool magazine and configured to take an image of multiple members in a machining area of the machine tool main body. The information processing apparatus includes a geometric feature calculating unit configured to calculate the shapes and the arrangement state of the multiple members in the machining area, based on image data of the image taken by the image pickup device.

Abstract: A learning model is constructed for adjusting control information so that a cycle time becomes shorter while also avoiding the occurrence of overheating. A learning model construction device includes: an input data acquisition means that acquires, as input data, control information including a combination of an operation pattern of a spindle and parameters related to machining in a machine tool, and temperature information of the spindle prior to performing the machining based on the control information; a label acquisition means for acquiring temperature information of the spindle after having performed the machining based on the control information as a label; and a learning model construction means for constructing a learning model for temperature information of the spindle after having performed machining based on the control information, by performing supervised learning with a group of the input data and the label as training data.

Abstract: To perform reinforcement learning that enables selecting action information for shortening a cycle time while also avoiding the occurrence of overheating.

Abstract: Provided is a machining tool having a telescopic cover, with a plurality of covers sequentially overlapped and telescopic in the moving direction of the movable portion of the machine tool. The machining includes a lubricant supply unit to supply a lubricant to a slide portion of the telescopic cover.

Abstract: A controller for a machine tool outputs an operation instruction signal to the machine tool. The machine tool transmits a signal indicating that the instructed operation is compete. The controller determines a response time of operation to be a difference in time between a point in time when the numerical controller outputs an operation instruction signal and a point in time when the numerical controller receives a signal from the machine tool. When the response time of operation exceeds a preset value, the numerical controller determines that a corresponding maintenance component needs to be replaced and informs a user of the need for replacement by means of a display unit.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism of rotation table device includes a shaft fixing a workpiece to an end portion thereof, a brake disk fixed to the shaft, and a clamping mechanism clamping or unclamping the brake disk by driving a piston. The clamping mechanism includes a plate spring fixed to a rear plate fixed to a casing and a piston and urging the piston in a clamping direction at all times by an elastic deformation restoring force and the plate spring is fixed to the rear plate or the piston through an annular plate.

Abstract: A machine tool includes a rotary table on which a workpiece is mounted, a clamping mechanism for clamping the rotary table against rotation, and a sensor for detecting completion of a clamping operation of the clamping mechanism. A numerical controller for controlling the machine tool calculates the time required for actual operations of the clamping mechanism, taking into account beforehand the processing time for processing a feedback signal from a sensor and the time until the next operation of the machine tool. By controlling the clamping mechanism based on the calculated required time, the cycle time of clamping or unclamping operations is shortened.

The machining includes a lubricant supply unit to supply a lubricant to a slide portion of the telescopic cover.

Abstract: A rotary table assembly is provided with a rotary table with a workpiece mounting table on one end of a rotating shaft and a cover covering the rotary table. A seal member is disposed between the cover and the workpiece mounting table, thereby preventing foreign matter, such as chips, from adhering to the rotary table.
