摘要:
A tool path generating device for generating a machining program is provided with a determining unit which determines whether or not the effective cutting length of a tool would be insufficient if machining were performed using a first tool path, and an estimating unit which estimates a section of insufficiency, being the section in which the effective cutting length of the tool is insufficient. The tool path generating device is provided with a post-move travel path generating unit which generates a post-move tool path in which the path corresponding to the section of insufficiency has been moved relative to the first tool path to a path whereby the section of insufficiency can be machined using the section of the tool within the effective cutting length, and an auxiliary path generating unit which generates an auxiliary tool path for machining the uncut section remaining in the workpiece.
摘要:
A worked surface of a workpiece is evaluated on the basis of how the surface is actually perceived by a person's (observer's) eyes (vision) or fingers (touch), and a work process whereby a workpiece is worked is changed on the basis of the evaluation.

An interference determination method for machine tools which determines whether or not there will be interference between elements that move relative to each other, the method including: a setting procedure for setting a machine tool model obtained by combining the shape model of each of the elements including a work model corresponding to the work; a measurement procedure for measuring the position of the work attached to the work attachment part; a correction procedure for acquiring, at a predetermined timing, the position of the work measured in the measurement procedure, and correcting the machine tool model set in the setting procedure; and a determination procedure for determining whether or not there will be interference between the elements on the basis of the machine tool model corrected in the correction procedure.

A method for measuring errors in the linear feed shafts of a multi-spindle machine tool having two or more rotating feed shafts in addition to three linear feed shafts, wherein: at least first through third reflecting minors are attached to a table of the machine tool; a laser length-measuring machine is attached to the tip of a principal shaft of the machine tool; the linear feed shafts are driven, and the laser length-measuring machine is moved to prescribed measuring points; the two or more rotating feed shafts are driven at each of the measuring points; the coordinates at each measuring point are calculated by measuring the distances between the first through third reflecting minors and the laser length-measuring machine; and errors in the linear feed shafts of the machine tool are obtained by comparing the machine coordinates of the machine tool.

The rotary workhead device, which is loaded on the table of a machine tool and onto which a workpiece to be machined is rotatably mounted, is equipped with: a base plate that is attached to the table of the machine tool; two rotary workheads that are provided on the base plate and disposed so that the axes of rotation coincide and the workpiece-fixing parts face each other; a guide means that is provided so as to be capable of moving at least one of the rotary workheads back and forth in the direction of the rotation axes; and an impelling means for impelling the one rotary workhead in a direction that separates or brings together the two rotary workheads. The rotary workhead device applies a tensile force or a compressive force on a workpiece, the respective ends of which are fixed between the two rotary workheads.

A hole drilling method includes a rotating step of attaching a workpiece to a rotary table to make the workpiece rotate in an opposite direction to the rotating direction of the rotary tool and a drilling step of making the rotary tool and the workpiece move relative to each other in a direction in which they approach each other so as to drill a hole. The hole drilling step comprises making a position of the rotary tool track the rotation of the workpiece while drilling the hole so that the rotary tool is arranged at a position for drilling a hole in the workpiece.
摘要:
A machine tool with a workpiece mounting block is provided that permit a plurality of workpieces to be mounted and machined without giving rise to interference between the workpiece or a table and a main spindle. Work mounting section (27) in a shape of square pyramid with four sides serving as workpiece mounting surfaces is fixed to table (17). Main spindle (19) with tool (23) mounted thereon can be moved relative to table (17) in three mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z-directions, and table (17) can be moved in rotation feed in A and C-directions. Positions of rotation angle of A-axis and C-axis when the workpiece mounting surface is perpendicular to the axis of main spindle (19) are stored in advance in storage mechanisms. When workpieces (33) mounted on the workpiece mounting surfaces are to be machined, a workpiece coordinate system is set based on the stored positions of the rotation angle and NC machining is carried out.
摘要:
A tool exchanger for storing a tool (10) with a holding groove (12) formed at a periphery of the tool in a plurality of tool storage parts (302) provided in a tool magazine (300) so that a tool axis becomes substantially horizontal in direction, and taking out the tool from the tool storage parts (302), the tool exchanger including: a base part (100); a slider (200) provided in a side of the tool storage parts (302) slidably relative to the base part (100) in a direction substantially parallel to the tool axis; a holder (250) attached to the slider (200) in a movable manner relative to the slider, and having an engagement part (252) which engages with the holding groove (12) of the tool; and a moving portion moving the holder (250) relative to the slider (200), wherein the moving portion includes: a handle part (260) for exerting a rotary force about an axis extending substantially parallel to the tool axis; a first cam mechanism (250, 242) moving the holder in a plane substantially perpendicular to the tool axis in accordance with a first turning operation of the handle part (260); and a second cam mechanism (161, 270) moving the holder (250) along a direction of the tool axis in accordance with a second turning operation of the handle part (260) successive to the first turning operation.
摘要:
A tool path generation device for machining a workpiece with a machine tool including a reading and interpreting portion which reads out a tool path from a machining program, a target coordinate value calculating portion which sets a plurality of target points at equal intervals on the read out tool path, and a curve approximation calculating portion which generates a tool path based on the plurality of target points, so as to obtain a smooth machined surface without formation of step differences between adjacent tool paths.
