The machining station can include a table; at least three robots each having a multi-axis mover secured to the table, and a gripper opposite the table, the robots being interspaced from one another on the table; and a controller. The controller controls the robots to hold a workpiece in a coordinated manner. The computer numerical command (CNC) machine-tool system machines the workpiece while the workpiece is held by the robots. The workpiece can be moved into and out from the machining station with a trolley which slidingly engages a trolley path formed within the table.

Provided is a machine tool (1) which is capable of measuring machining accuracy of a workpiece (W) with high accuracy and enables the time required from machining to measurement of machining accuracy to be greatly reduced. The machine tool (1) machining a workpiece (W) while moving a tool and the workpiece (W) relative to each other includes a cover (2) separating from outside a machining area for machining the workpiece (W) therein, and temperature adjusting means (30) used in machining of the workpiece (W) to adjust an ambient temperature of the machining area.

A machine tool system includes: a machine tool for machining a workpiece set on a table using a tool attached to a spindle; and a robot for gripping the workpiece. The robot is installed on the table and performs a setting operation for setting the workpiece on the table and a clamping operation for clamping the workpiece.

Machine tool including a workpiece carrier assembly including a workpiece carrier for supporting a plurality of workpieces, the workpiece carrier assembly being supported on a workpiece carrier support for horizontal movement in a first direction parallel with a horizontal Z axis, a tool carrier configured for carrying a plurality of tools corresponding to the plurality of workpieces and for machining the workpieces, the tool carrier being supported on a tool carrier support for horizontal movement in a second direction parallel to a horizontal X axis, the X axis being perpendicular to the horizontal Z axis, where the tool carrier is displaceable on the tool carrier support in the second direction between an operative position in which the tools are arranged for the contacting the workpieces and an inoperative position in which the workpieces are not contactable by the tools, where the workpiece carrier is arranged to be rotatable around an axis parallel with the X axis, and where the workpiece carrier includes a workpiece support area for supporting the workpieces and arranged substantially in parallel with the X axis.

An automatic milling machine mills a gasket. The automatic milling machine controls the position of a cutter head relative a table. The automatic milling machine rotates the gasket with a motor. Parameters of the motor are monitored to determine the amount of rotation of the gasket.

The application describes a machine tool adapted and arranged to carry out removal and addition of material on a work piece located in a work station, the machine having a first head arranged to remove material from the work piece and at least a second head arranged to process the work piece, each of the first and second heads being arranged to be moveable in at least two axes and preferably in 3, 4 or 5 axes and wherein the machine is arranged to control an environment of the work station. The work station is at least partially sealable. The machine has a clean side and a dirty side. Novel processing heads particularly adapted for use in the new machine tool are disclosed. These may also be retrofitted to CNC machines. The novel heads include heads adapted to carry out two processes simultaneously. Heads adapted to carry out heat and pressure treatment are also disclosed. Use of the processing heads to carry out analysis in manufacturing steps is disclosed as is the provision and use of heads that can carry out analysis as well as processing.

Provided is a pump apparatus capable of suppressing an unintentional ejection of a high-pressure liquid from a nozzle. A pump apparatus including: an injection chamber having a door; a nozzle arranged in the injection chamber; a pump connected to the nozzle for discharging liquid; a motor for driving the pump; a door sensor for detecting that the door is closed; and a control device capable of communicating with the door sensor, the control device having a motor rotation unit for supplying driving power to the motor only when the door sensor detects that the door is closed.

A machine tool with work transferring mechanism provided with a work transferring mechanism which transfers a work and receives/delivers the work from/to a main spindle. In the front-rear direction, the space inside the machine tool is divided via a shutter into a machining space in which the main spindle is arranged and a transferring space in which the work transferring mechanism transfers the work. The work transferring mechanism is equipped with a work retainer retaining the work and a moving mechanism moving the work retainer. While the work attached to the main spindle is machined, the work retainer is preliminarily moved by the moving mechanism to a vicinity of the main spindle via the shutter.

A machine tool includes a cover body for separating at least a machining area from the outside. The cover body has an opening for allowing the machining area to communicate with the outside and includes a door for opening and closing the opening. The cover body does not include a transparent window for allowing the machining area to be visually checked from the outside. The cover body can be formed to be of a sufficient strength throughout and, if an unexpected accident occurs, structures within the machining area can be reliably prevented from being shot out of the machining area.

A machine tool includes: an exterior cover covering a machining area where a workpiece on a worktable is machined by a machining tool; an articulated robot arranged inside the exterior cover and configured to replace the workpiece; a controller configured to control the posture of the articulated robot and the coordinate point at which a hand of the articulated robot is positioned; and a protective cover arranged inside the exterior cover and configured to protect at least the hand from scattered matter arising due to machining of the workpiece when the articulated robot is set at a predetermined posture or when the hand is moved to a predetermined coordinate point.
