A holder for holding a plurality of parallel-arranged tubular members includes a first block and a second block, configured to hold the plurality of tubular members between the first and second blocks. The first block includes a plurality of first grooves formed in a surface thereof that faces the second block, the first grooves each extending in a direction in which the tubular members extend, and each of the first grooves has a semicircular shape when the first block is viewed from the direction in which the tubular members extend.

A spindle device includes: a spindle housing; a spindle shaft configured to be rotatably supported inside the spindle housing; a spindle mount having an insertion cavity into which the spindle housing is inserted along the axial direction of the spindle shaft; a flange portion projecting outward from the outer peripheral surface of the spindle housing and configured to be removably fixed to an end of the spindle mount that is closer to one opening of the insertion cavity; and a support member configured to support the spindle housing inserted in the insertion cavity by using, as a base, the other end of the spindle mount that is closer to the other opening of the insertion cavity.

An object is to provide a machine-tool spindle cooling method and a machine tool capable of suppressing thermal deformation of a spindle while achieving energy saving. To achieve it, a machine-tool spindle cooling method is provided in which bearings (13) and a spindle rotation motor (14) that generate heat with rotation of a spindle (12) are cooled by causing a spindle cooling device (18) to supply and circulate cooled cooling oil inside a housing (11) rotatably supporting the spindle (12), the method comprising deactuating the spindle cooling device (18) to thereby stop supplying the cooling oil in a case where the number of revolutions of the spindle (12) is less than or equal to a predetermined number of revolutions and the temperatures of the bearings (13) and the spindle rotation motor (14) detected by temperature sensors (15, 16) are less than or equal to a predetermined temperature.

A motor controller comprises: a motor driver arranged at a housing attached to a machine support; fan motors and arranged in or outside the housing; and a control unit. The motor driver drives motors. The fan motors blow cooling air for cooling the interior of the housing. The CPU includes a machining mode selection unit allowing selection of at least either a first machining mode of machining a machining target finely or a second machining mode of machining the machining target more roughly than in the first machining mode. If the first machining mode is selected, the machining mode selection unit exerts control to change the rotation numbers of the fan motors and so as to reduce vibration to be transmitted from the housing to the support column.

In a spindle device, a movable member is provided on a cover member, which is attached to a spindle housing and covers the outer peripheral surface of a chuck portion which is a disk-shaped rotating member. The movable member is moved by a gas flowing through a flow passage formed in the cover member and thereby brought into contact with the chuck portion. The movable member is electrically connected to a ground.

A saw may include a housing, a motor assembly, a fan and a baffle. The motor assembly may be disposed within the housing and may include a driveshaft that is rotatable relative to the housing. The fan may be attached to a first end portion of the driveshaft for rotation with the driveshaft. The baffle may be disposed within the housing and may include a recess and a chute in communication with the recess. The fan may be disposed within the recess and may force air through the recess and into the chute. The chute may extend tangentially from a body of the baffle and may include a shape that curves around a rotational axis of the fan as the chute curves away from a plane in which the fan rotates.

An angle grinder includes a housing formed with a handle, a clamping device for mounting a grinding disk, an output shaft for driving the clamping device to rotate, a brushless motor being provided with a motor shaft, a transmission mechanism for transmitting power between the motor shaft and the output shaft, and a circuit board assembly for providing electricity to the brushless motor. The clamping device is disposed outside of the housing and connected with the output shaft. The output shaft is at least partially disposed inside of the housing and connected with the transmission mechanism. The brushless motor is arranged between the transmission mechanism and the circuit board assembly in a direction substantially parallel to the motor shaft, and the motor shaft is disposed along a direction substantially perpendicular to the output shaft.

In a method for operating a machine tool, a machine-specific flow resistance and a respective tool-specific flow resistance are ascertained for various tools. Tool-specific regulator parameters for regulating a pump of a coolant lubricant device are computed on the basis of the machine-specific flow resistance and the tool-specific flow resistance of the tool chucked in a tool spindle. Subsequently, the machine tool is operated using the tool-specific regulator parameters. In this way, a rapid and exact feed of coolant lubricant to the machining point of the respective chucked tool is enabled in a simple and flexible manner.

This disclosure relates to a temperature control system that may be applied to a machine tool. The system includes a cooling circulation and a controller. The cooling circulation comprises a pump, a cooler and a solenoid valve. The pump may be driven by a variable frequency motor so as to flow through the spindle of the machine tool. The cooler is serially connected with the liquid pump, and may cool the liquid coolant. The solenoid valve connects to inlet and outlet of the cooler, and may prevent the liquid coolant flows through the spindle from flowing back to the cooler. The controller is electrically connected with the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve. Further, the controller is connected to the machine tool to detect several parameters, so as to control the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve.

A spindle device includes a spindle shaft, a spindle housing, and a chuck portion as a rotating member. The chuck portion has, formed therein, a suctioning passage through which air suctioned from the outside flows. The spindle shaft has a first guide passage which guides air flowing through the suctioning passage to a clearance between the inner wall of the spindle housing defining a through hole in which the spindle shaft is inserted and the outer wall of the spindle shaft facing the inner wall, by way of the interior of the spindle shaft. The spindle housing has, formed therein, a second guide passage configured to guide the air guided to the clearance, to the outside.
