The present invention relates to an accuracy analyzing apparatus which is capable of efficiently analyzing accuracies of a machine tool including the perpendicularity of a spindle axis and the thermal displacement of a spindle with a higher level of accuracy at lower costs. The accuracy analyzing apparatus (1) comprises a laser oscillator (2) attached to the spindle (26) for emitting a laser beam having a light axis perpendicular to the spindle axis, an imaging device (5, 8) having a light receiving section (5) disposed in the vicinity of the laser oscillator (2) for receiving the laser beam from the laser oscillator (2) by the light receiving section (5) and generating two-dimensional image data, and an analyzer (15) for analyzing the accuracies of the machine tool (20) on the basis of the generated image data.
Abstract:
Operational administration system enabling reduction in expense burden on user, and permitting manufacturer to comprehend accurately and timely operational status of machine tools on user end. Operational administration system (1) includes, interconnected via Internet (5): manufacturer-end administration device (20); operational data storage/transmission devices (10) connected to numerical controllers for NC machine tools (15); and user-end terminal device (30). The operational data storage/transmission devices (10) gather from the numerical controllers data pertaining to the operational status of the NC machine tools (15), store the data and, when specified transmission conditions are met, send the stored operational status data to administration device (20) in an e-mail data format. With the received operational status data, administration device (20) updates operational status data it stores, and sends to terminal device (30), in response to a request therefrom, machine-tool operational status data identified by user ID information appropriately input through terminal device (30).
Abstract:
An authentication system includes a mail server (11) which receives an electronic mail delivered from a customer's machine tool (20), an operation state database (12) which stores operation state data extracted from the received electronic mail, a web server (13) which transmits specific operation state data to a customer's user PC (21) from the operation state database (12), a general identification database (14) in which general user IDs and passwords for identification of customers and machine codes of customers' machine tools (20) associated with the general user IDs are registered, a private server (15) which is accessible only by a service center PC (17) via a virtual private network, and a special identification database (16) in which special user identification data for identification of a service person and machine codes of all the customers' machine tools associated with a special user ID are registered.
Abstract:
A floppy disc drive apparatus includes a spindle motor, a magnetic head, a drive mechanism, a mechanism controller, a floppy disc controller, and a universal serial bus interface. The spindle motor rotatably drives a floppy disc at a rotational speed of 600 rpm or more. The magnetic head reads and records data on the floppy disc. The drive mechanism has an actuator that scans the magnetic head in a radial direction of the floppy disc. The mechanism controller controls the drive mechanism to thereby reproduce and record specified data on the floppy disc. The floppy disc controller transfers and receives data to and from the mechanism controller at a transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s or greater. The universal serial bus interface allows the floppy disc controller to transfer and receive data to and from an external apparatus at a transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s or greater.
Abstract:
A floppy disk rotating drive mechanism having a metal drive pin configured to withstand high speeds and to prevent damage to a disk by the pin when the disk is chucked. The drive mechanism has a rotation center shaft to engage the center hole in the floppy disk, a rotating unit that rotates with the rotation center shaft, a chucking lever pivotally supported on one end by the rotating unit and provided with the drive pin on the other end. The disk is rotated when the drive pin engages the drive pin engaging hole in the disk positioned eccentrically from the center hole. The drive pin is made of stainless steel and has an inclined upper surface that is higher on an outside portion farther away from the rotating shaft than on an inside portion nearer the rotating shaft. The outer portion of upper surface of the drive pin is also provided with a chamfered section. A front portion of the drive pin in the leading direction of the rotation has curved surface and a back portion of the drive pin has a flat surface.
