The boundary flow path is constituted of a pair of boundary wall surfaces facing each other in a first cross section intersecting each of the first flow path, the boundary flow path, and the second flow path. An inclination of a tangent to at least one of the pair of boundary wall surfaces is continuously changed. In a second cross section perpendicular to a direction in which coolant flows, a lateral width of the first flow path is larger than a longitudinal width of the first flow path and a lateral width of the second flow path is larger than a longitudinal width of the second flow path when a longitudinal direction represents a direction in which the pair of boundary wall surfaces face each other and a lateral direction represents a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

The peeling machine, comprising: a rotating head installed rotating about an axis of rotation and provided with a central cavity in which, during use, there is disposed an elongated product to be worked; the rotating head is provided with a plurality of tools and with at least one adjustment unit configured to move the tools away from or toward the elongated product; a first motor configured to make the rotating head rotate about the axis of rotation; and a transmission unit configured to transmit motion from a second motor to the adjustment unit in order to simultaneously adjust the radial position of the tools; the transmission unit comprises a differential device kinematically connected between the second motor and the adjustment unit so that an adjustment of the position of the tools with respect to the elongated product corresponds to the drive of the second motor.

This application relates to lubrication, and more particularly to an external cooling MQL manipulator and a machine tool and a lubrication method using the machine tool. The external cooling MQL manipulator includes a suspension structure, a robot arm, a controller and an oil mist generator. The suspension structure fixedly connects the robot arm and a frame, and a nozzle is provided on a free end of the robot arm; an oil mist generator is connected to the nozzle for ejecting oil mists to a processing area. When the machine tool works, the controller selects the corresponding lubrication parameters according to the processing parameters such as the cutter type and the workpiece material. The first motor and the second motor are controlled to rotate by the controller according to real-time changes of the processing positions detected by the detecting component, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle.

A machine tool includes a headstock that holds a workpiece, a tool post that is movable in a first axis direction parallel to a workpiece rotation axis and in a second axis direction orthogonal to the first axis and holds a tool, an in-machine robot, an opening for communicating the inside and the outside of a working chamber, and a door that opens and closes the opening. The robot includes a root joint fixed in the working chamber and a link unit positioned on a distal end side of the root joint. The root joint is a linear-motion joint extendable in a direction orthogonal to the workpiece rotation axis, and is a linear-motion joint extendable between the length for causing the entire link unit to be positioned inside the working chamber and the length for causing the entire link unit to be positioned outside the working chamber.

A technique for preventing a coolant from adhering to a discharge inhibited portion is provided. A machine tool capable of machining a workpiece includes: a first discharge unit that discharges the coolant removing a chip of the workpiece; a portion inside the machine tool and to which the coolant should not be discharged; a first drive unit that changes a relative position between the first discharge unit and the portion; and a control unit that controls the machine tool. The control unit performs processing for recognizing a position in the machine tool of a moving object by the first drive unit between the first discharge unit and the portion, and processing for controlling the discharge of the coolant by the first discharge unit such that the coolant is not discharged to the portion based on the position recognized in the recognition processing.

A machine tool for machining a workpiece clamped in the working space of the machine tool by means of a tool. The machine tool includes a machine bed, which has a chip collection region having at least one conveying channel open on the working space side for collecting chips that drop during the machining of the workpiece, and a conveying device for leading away chips that have dropped into the chip collection region in the at least one conveying channel. The conveying device has a stationary supporting shaft, which extends in the at least one conveying channel in the longitudinal direction of the conveying channel, wherein a spiral element is rotatably supported on the stationary supporting shaft, and wherein the conveying device also comprises a drive for driving the rotational motion of the spiral element about the stationary supporting shaft.

An object is to provide a tool holder that can efficiently supply a coolant to a flank and a cutting edge by preventing the leakage of a coolant and can accurately and stably supply a coolant so as to correspond to the shapes of various cutting edges or the types of cutting. A face, a flank, and a cutting edge forming an intersection ridge between the face and the flank are disposed at a leading end portion of a shaft-shaped tool body in a tool holder.
