Main shaft device

A main shaft device is attached to a work machine. The main shaft device is provided with a main shaft that supports a tool or a workpiece, and a main shaft motor that causes the main shaft to rotate. The main shaft device is provided with bearings that are rolling bearings which support the main shaft in an inner race, and a housing and a rear housing that secure an outer race of the bearings. The housing and the rear housing are formed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than that of the main shaft.

Power-tool cooling apparatus

A power-tool cooling apparatus for a portable power tool includes a first fan configured to generate a first cooling fluid flow to cool a drive unit of the portable power tool, and a second fan that generates a further cooling fluid flow to cool an electronics unit of the portable power-tool. A third fan generates a third cooling fluid flow to cool a second electronics unit of the power-tool, and supplies cooling fluid to the first cooling fluid flow.

A spindle device includes a cover member. The cover member has, formed therein, a gas flow path configured to flow a compressed gas for providing sealing between a chuck portion as a rotating member and the cover member and sealing between the chuck portion and the spindle housing. The gas flow path includes a first conduit configured to communicate the outside of the cover member and a second conduit configured to allow the first conduit to communicate with a gap between the chuck portion and the spindle housing, the second conduit being larger than the outlet of the first conduit. The outlet of the second conduit faces a surface of the spindle housing.

Coolant coupling device

A coolant coupling device (20) includes: a cylinder chamber (25) provided for a support member (2) for a tool rest (4) in a machine tool and supplied with coolant; a piston (P) movably arranged in the cylinder chamber (25); and a coolant supply flow channel (30) provided for the piston (P) for passing coolant therethrough. The piston (P) is driven by the coolant supplied to the cylinder chamber (25) so that an outlet (32) of the coolant supply flow channel (30) is connected to a coolant inlet port (10) of the tool rest (4) to supply the coolant to the tool rest (4). The piston (P) comprises a cylindrical projection (29) protruding toward and into the cylinder chamber (25), and the coolant supply flow channel (30) has an inlet (34) that opens at an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical projection (29).

20210197330 · 2021-07-01 ·

A core support system includes a support structure. The support structure includes a frame and a support member having a saturatable engagement layer disposed over the frame. A method of machining a core material incudes applying a fluid to an engagement layer of a support structure and saturating the engagement layer with the fluid, disposing a core material on the engagement layer, causing the fluid to freeze to secure to the core material to the support structure, machining the core material, melting the frozen fluid to release the core material from the support structure, and removing the core material from the engagement layer.

PROCESSING APPARATUS
20210260711 · 2021-08-26 ·

A processing apparatus includes a chuck table having a holding surface for holding a workpiece; a horizontal moving mechanism that moves the chuck table in a horizontal direction and is supplied with a first oil; and a vertical moving mechanism that moves a processing unit in a vertical direction and is supplied with a second oil. Before mounting the workpiece on the holding surface, the holding surface is imaged by a camera while being irradiated with light, and it is examined whether or not the picked-up image is emitting light. If there is a light-emitting part in the picked-up image, it is determined that oil is adhered to the light-emitting part.
