Patent number: 8079788Abstract: A main body of a machine tool is covered with a cover. A ceiling portion of the cover that is situated over a spindle motor is provided with an opening portion. The cover is provided with hanging portions that hang down from the opening portion with a predetermined clearance from side surfaces of the spindle motor other than the rear surface. Air that is mixed with a misty cutting fluid in a space inside the cover is sucked in through a suction pipe by a mist collector. The outside air flows into the space inside the cover through the clearance. The outside air that passes through the clearance is driven to flow through vents by a built-in cooling fan of the spindle motor, thereby cooling the motor, and is then discharged to the outside. In consequence, the temperature in the space inside the cover can never be increased by heating of the spindle motor.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Fanuc LtdInventors: Masahiro Murota, Hiroki Tezuka

Patent number: 8057133Abstract: Machining of aluminum workpieces with diamond or diamond-like carbon-surface coated tools may be conducted in an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas at a partial pressure effective for hydrogen to react with carbon atoms at the surface to form C—H bonds that resist adherence of aluminum to the tool surface. Suitably, hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas mixture is confined at the interface of tool and workpieces at the machining site. Hydrogen partial pressure may be determined for a tool-workpiece-machining temperature combination by calculation or experiment.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventor: Yue Qi
