A numerically controlled machine tool that can accurately control a position of a machining member for machining a workpiece. The numerically controlled machine tool comprises: a first post member installed on a main body slidingly in a left/right direction; and first, second and third horizontal rails installed on the main body lengthily in the left/right direction and respectively coupled to two points of the rear surface and one point of the front surface of the first post member for guiding sliding of the first post member.

A horizontal machining center serving as a machine tool includes: a bed; a front-side guide rail shaped to extend linearly along an upper surface of the bed and attached to the bed; and a column provided on the upper surface of the bed and fixed to the bed. The column has a facing portion arranged to face an end of the front-side guide rail in an X-axis direction in which the front-side guide rail linearly extends. The facing portion is provided with a hole through which the front-side guide rail can be inserted. By such a configuration, a machine tool with excellent workability during removal of an elongate body is provided.

An upright machining center is characterized in being provided with: x-axis guides for moving and guiding a table in the left-right direction on a bed; a column provided on the bed and provided with an opening that straddles the x-axis guides in the front-back direction so that a moving body, on which the table is provided, can enter therein in the left-right direction; a saddle, which is disposed on the upper part of the column so as to be movable in the front-back direction and for which a first y-axis guide that extends in the front-back direction on the right side of the left-right direction and a left second y-axis guide that is located lower and parallel thereto are provided; and a main shaft head, which is disposed on the left side surface of the saddle and moves in the vertical direction.

The present invention provides a lathe that is provided with an eccentricity adjustment mechanism that makes it possible for electrical components that are readily affected by the environment to be eliminated from the turntable; for slip rings in particular, which exhibit problems in terms of the durability of signal transmission during high-speed rotation, to be eliminated as well, and for safe and stable adjustment of workpiece eccentricity to be easily achieved. A lathe provided with an eccentricity adjustment mechanism, in which a linear motion guide unit (6) is provided in an inclined state in an engaging part of the center part of a turntable (1) and an axial-direction-movement part (5A) of a center shaft (5); and, due to the center shaft (5) being moved, the turntable (1) moves in the radial direction by the radial pressing force generated by the linear motion guide unit (6) being inclined, and the eccentricity of the workpiece (3) is adjusted.

A holder system for mounting and aligning a machining device to a rotary transfer machine. The holder system includes a holder with a first part being mountable on a machine or being part of a machine as well as a second part which is releasably coupled to the first part in a defined first position. The second part is coupled to a third part, the third part coupled with the machining device. Positioning features are located between the second part and the third part to allow moving the third part relative to the second part in at least one spatial direction. Further, the holder system includes at least one alignment station that can releasably couple the second part of the holder to the alignment station in the first defined position and a measuring device configured to measure the position of the third part or of the machining device.

A coolant flow guide for grinder includes a base including a tilted bottom wall having a predetermined tilt angle, a peripheral wall disposed around the tilted bottom wall and defining with the tilted bottom wall a diversion channel having a top opening and a partition wall located on the tilted bottom wall to divide the diversion channel into two flow passages that slope downwardly to the diversion port, and a workpiece positioning unit mounted on the base above the flow passages for holding a workpiece. Thus, when the grinder is operated to grind the workpiece, the debris thus produced is carried by the applied coolant to flow through the flow passages to the outside of the base via the diversion port.
