Abstract:
A machine tool is provided with a tool mounting part mounting and holding a tool for working a workpiece, a motor rotating the tool mounting part such that an edge of the tool is inclined with respect to the workpiece, control means holding the tool standby such that the edge of the tool is positioned at a working standby position proximal to a surface of the workpiece and starting a working movement from the working standby position. In the machine tool, the control means includes working standby position correcting means to correct the working standby position to a corrected working standby position according to a diameter d of the tool and a rotational angle θ of the tool mounting part such that the tool does not interfere with the workpiece when the tool is held standby at the working standby position in a rotated state by the motor.
Abstract:
A power consumption output device for an apparatus that manufactures a plurality of products from a quantity of supplied material in a series of repeated cycles, includes a detector for detecting power consumption in a time period that includes at least the time needed for manufacturing all of the products that can be manufactured from a given quantity of supplied material, from the time at which the supply of the material to the apparatus commences to the time at which any remaining material is ejected, and delivers an output indicating power consumption per product by using the power consumption detected by the power detector and the number of products manufactured from the given quantity of supplied material. The device is thus capable of precisely calculating the electricity cost per product manufactured by an apparatus whose power consumption varies from one cycle of operation to another.

Abstract:
In a method of machining a work in a numerically controlled lathe, it is possible to reduce machining cost by shortening idle time at the time of switching and to enhance the lifetime by lessening a load on a feeding mechanism of a tool rest. After completion of the machining of a work W with a tool T1 on one tool rest (13), the one tool rest (13) is moved to a standby position B and, at the same time, the other tool rest (15) is moved from a standby position D and the feed speed of the other tool rest (15) is controlled such that the one and the other tool rests (13, 15) simultaneously reach positions C and F preset between the work W and the standby positions B and D.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a power-supply management device which can efficiently connect and disconnect power supply to an electric-powered section, and a machine tool including the power-supply management device. The power-supply management device (101) detects a synchronization command of a control program, and compares an operation time of the electric-powered section between synchronizations in each control system which is a synchronization target by the synchronization command on the basis of the detected synchronization command. Then, the power-supply management device (101) disconnects the power supply to the electric-powered section belonging to the control system except the control system having the maximum operation time of the electric-powered section between the synchronizations, and restarts the power supply at the end of the synchronization in each control system.

Abstract:
A tool selection method, for a machine tool, comprising the steps of identifying the maximum tip distance (D2) of a currently selected tool (141), a next designated tool (142) and an intermediate tool (143) disposed therebetween; moving a tool rest (10) in the +(plus)X-axis direction after a machining by the currently selected tool (141) is completed until the tip of the currently selected tool (141) is spaced from a workpiece (W) along the X-axis by a distance provided by adding a clearance distance (E) to a difference between the maximum tip distance (D2) and the tip distance (D3) of the currently selected tool (141); moving the tool rest (10) in the +(plus)Y-axis direction until the tip of the next designated tool (142) is aligned with the rotation center axis (12a) of the workpiece (W) in the X-axis direction; and moving the tool rest (10) in the −(minus)X-axis direction.

Abstract:
At the time of two-dimensionally moving a mobile body of a machine tool, to a predetermined position, a speed of the mobile body is gently increased/decreased at an acceleration/deceleration equal to or less than the maximum acceleration/deceleration, from the time when the mobile body reaches a direction change point. Therefore, the moving time is shortened and a rapid acceleration/deceleration may be avoided.
