To provide a machine tool and a control device for the machine tool that can smoothly cut a workpiece while segmenting chips by feeding a cutting tool in a feed direction while reciprocally vibrating the cutting tool along the feed direction on the basis of a condition set by a user. The machine tool (100) or the control device (C) includes: a setting unit (C1, C2) for utilizing a number of rotations of relative rotation of a workpiece (W) and the cutting tool, a number of reciprocal vibrations of the cutting tool per rotation of the relative rotation, and a vibration frequency dependent on a period in which the control device (C) can execute an operating instruction when the workpiece W is machined as parameters and for setting values of two of the parameters to a control section (C1); and a correcting unit (C1) for setting the remaining one of the parameters to a predetermined value and correcting the values of the two of the parameters set by the setting unit on the basis of the value of the remaining one of the parameters.

A transmission arrangement for energy and/or signal transmission between a control unit of a machine tool and at least one electronic component, in particular for use in a machining center or a turning and/or milling center. The transmission arrangement is configured to transmit energy and/or signals between electronic components arranged on a pallet and a control unit of a machine tool. The method shows a procedure for automated machining of a workpiece by means of a machine tool, in particular when electronic components are arranged on a pallet on which the workpiece is clamped.

A machining system comprises a machine tool, a machine tool controller that controls the machine tool, an auxiliary device that assists the machine tool, and an auxiliary device controller that controls the auxiliary device. The machine tool and the auxiliary device work cooperatively for machining. The machining system comprises a signal management unit that receives a first signal and a second signal. The first signal indicates information about the machine tool as a criterion used for determining whether the machine tool and the auxiliary device are operable or inoperable. The second signal indicates information about the auxiliary device as a criterion used for determining whether the machine tool and the auxiliary device are operable or inoperable. The signal management unit outputs a third signal indicating an operable state or an inoperable state of the machine tool and the auxiliary device to the machine tool controller and the auxiliary device controller based on the first signal and the second signal.

A method for producing a dental shaped body from a blank that has a corpus of tooth restoration material by a tool adapted to remove the material. To detect a position of the corpus inserted in a machining device, contact scanning is performed on the blank by the tool. At least one dimension of the blank corpus is detected, and the machining tool is prepositioned for a contacting operation according to the detected at least one dimension of the blank corpus.
