Machining tool comprising a frame in which a drive shaft for a tool is mounted so as to pivot about a rotation axis and to move axially along the rotation axis. The shaft is connected to two rotary motors, namely a first motor connected to a member for meshing with a fluted portion of the shaft in order to drive the shaft in rotation and a second motor connected to a nut engaged with a threaded portion of the shaft in order to move the shaft axially. The motors are connected to at least one control unit designed to control the motors independently of one another, and the first motor and the second motor are coaxial with one another.

A machine tool and a control device for the machine tool for shortening the machining time of a workpiece in a case where the relative and reciprocal vibration of workpiece holder and tool post in the radial direction of the workpiece is stopped during a period from an initial point until when the workpiece and the cutting tool come into contact with each other is provided. In the machine tool, when threading the workpiece to form a threaded portion on the workpiece by relatively moving the workpiece and the cutting tool in the feed direction while relatively rotating the workpiece and the cutting tool 130 to perform multiple times of cutting processes along the same cutting path in a predetermined spiral form, the cutting tool is brought closer toward the workpiece in the feed direction from a predetermined initial point at which the workpiece and the cutting tool are separated from each other, the workpiece and the cutting tool come into contact with each other, and the threading is started with the contact. During the period from the initial point until when the workpiece and the cutting tool come into contact with each other, a controller stops the vibration of the cutting tool, and, in continuous cutting processes in the multiple times of cutting processes in the threading, the control means sets a phase position of the tool post in the vibration direction and stops the reciprocal vibration so that, when the workpiece and the cutting tool come into contact with each other, each of the continuous cutting processes has a predetermined phase in the reciprocal vibration relative to a rotation phase of the workpiece at the start of the threading.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for controlling a machine tool with which it is possible to smoothly stop oscillation at an arbitrary timing without loss of cutting-chip-shredding performance, and to minimize shock produced in the machine tool. The present invention provides a device 1 for controlling a machine tool for performing machining while causing a tool and a workpiece to oscillate relative to each other, the device 1 for controlling a machine tool comprising: an oscillation command generation unit 12 for generating an oscillation command on the basis of a machining condition and an oscillation condition; an oscillation stoppage assessment unit 13 for assessing the timing of oscillation stoppage; and a position speed control unit 17 for causing, on the basis of a superimposition command generated by superimposing the oscillation command onto a position command or a position deviation, the tool and the workpiece to oscillate relative to each other. The oscillation command generation unit 12 causes the oscillation amplitude to gradually attenuate from the timing at which oscillation stoppage is communicated from the oscillation stoppage assessment unit 13.
