A machine tool includes: a lower tool rest on which a plurality of tools are mounted; a motor provided at the lower tool rest, for rotating a rotating tool when the rotating tool is mounted on the lower tool rest; and a tool holder attached to the lower tool rest, for detachably holding the tool. The tool holder has a clamping mechanism portion operating between a clamping state of clamping the tool and an unclamping state of unclamping the tool, as a result of transmission of motive power generated at the motor. With such a configuration, the clamping mechanism portion for automatically clamping and unclamping the tool held in the tool holder on the tool rest is provided with a simple configuration.

The present invention relates to a machine tool including a ram spindle and a tool holder, and provides a machine tool comprising: a tool holder including at least two inserts; and a ram spindle capable of fixing the tool holder in a clamped state or rotating the tool holder in order to change the position of the insert, such that the position of the insert can be quickly changed, thereby enabling an improvement in productivity and precision and a reduction in product costs.

A numerical controller includes a command analysis unit that generates movement command data by analyzing a program command and an axis travel calculation unit that, when the program command commands movement of a tool in a direction of a first straight axis orthogonal to an axis of rotation of a workpiece, converts a command value based on the program command for the movement of the tool in the direction of the first straight axis into a command value for a rotation angle of a turret, and a position of the tool is controlled in accordance with a rotation command for the turret based on the command value for the rotation angle of the turret calculated by the axis travel calculation unit, instead of the command based on the program command for the movement in the direction of the first straight axis.

A machine tool includes a main spindle that rotates while holding a workpiece, a mover that moves a cutting tool including a linear cutting blade that cuts the workpiece, with respect to the workpiece in a moving direction including at least a Z-direction parallel or substantially parallel with the axis of the main spindle and a Y-direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to both the Z-direction and an X-direction determining the amount of cutting of the workpiece, a holder that holds the cutting tool in a state in which the direction of the linear cutting blade is inclined with respect to the Z-direction by a predetermined angle when seen from the X-direction, and an angle adjuster that changes the edge angle.

A turret tool post includes a turret turnably supported by a post body, turret turning part having a turret turning shaft and the like to turn the turret, a tool attachment part turnably holding a rotatable tool and attached to the turret, and tool-attachment-part turning part turning the tool attachment part to turn the rotatable tool. The tool-attachment-part turning part and the turret turning part are provided independently and arranged to face each other. The tool-attachment-part turning part includes a tool turning motor installed inside the turret and an attachment-part transmission shaft connected to the tool turning motor.

A turret tool rest includes a main shaft, a turret turning shaft, a turret, a joint base, a mill housing connection shaft, and an engagement member. The main shaft rotates a tool. A part of the main shaft is provided in the turret turning shaft. The turret turning shaft has a first coupling hole. The turret is connected to the turret turning shaft via which the turret is rotated. The joint base has a second coupling hole. The mill housing connection shaft is connected to the joint base. The mill housing connection shaft is provided between the main shaft and the turret turning shaft. Each of the mill housing connection shaft, the joint base, the part of the main shaft, and the turret turning shaft are disposed to rotate around a rotation axis of the turret. The engagement member moves in the first coupling hole and the second coupling hole.

A tooling exchange mechanism and a machine tool having the tooling exchange mechanism, in which a load applied to a turret is reduced when exchanging a tooling in the machine tool, are provided with a pressing member 210 of a tooling detachment unit 200 that presses the rear end of a tooling holding unit 100 to be able to release the retracted state of a tool holder Th of a tooling T by a tool holder holding portion 150 of the tooling holding unit 100, and a locking lever 220 of the tooling detachment unit 200 engageable with an engaging projection 112a formed on the rear end side of the tooling holding unit 100.

A turret device having a configuration for obtaining required processing accuracy, includes: an indexing motor configured to pivotally index a turret tool; a turret shaft configured to transmit a rotation of the indexing motor; and a turret head coupled to the turret shaft on which multiple turret tools are mounted on a circumference, wherein the turret head includes a diaphragm-type base member coupled to the turret shaft, an inner diameter side of the base member is coupled to the turret shaft, and an outer diameter side of the base member is rotationally supported by a bearing fixed to a main body member of a turret.
