A control method of superimposition processing in an NC machine tool comprises providing at least one tool rest that performs machine processing to workpieces respectively held on a plurality of spindles, providing respective processing programs for performing respective machine processing to the workpieces held on the respective spindles, and inserting superimposition control program for performing superimposition processing during one of the respective processing programs is running. The superimposition processing is performed so that, during an operation of performing machine processing to a workpiece held on one of the plurality of spindles by one of the plurality of tools, the other operation of performing machine processing to a workpiece held on another one of the plurality of spindles by another one of the plurality of tools is superimposed.

A method of manufacturing an engine connecting rod includes mounting a rod on a first mount configured to rotate, mounting a cap on a second mount configured to rotate, positioning a spindle head such that a tool of the spindle head contacts a first connecting end of the rod, machining the first connecting end by spinning the first mount, machining the first connecting end by moving the spindle head, positioning the spindle head such that the tool of the spindle head contacts a second connecting end of the cap configured to be coupled to the first connecting end, machining the second connecting end by spinning the second mount, and machining the second connecting end by moving the spindle head. The spindle head is moveable in a first direction extending between the first and second mounts, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, and rotatable about an axis.

A method for machining the wheel running surfaces of wheels for rail vehicles using a wheel machining machine is described herein. The method includes performing a rolling process on the wheels with a rolling tool that applies a rolling force to the wheels, and adjusting the rolling force by controlling the torques of drive motors of feed axles of the rolling tool.

A machine tool, in particular multi-spindle turning machine, comprising a machine frame, a turret body being rotatably supported by the machine frame, a plurality of workpiece spindles being arranged on the turret body, each of the workpiece spindles having a workpiece receiving portion for receiving a respective workpiece on one side of the turret body facing a working space of the machine tool, and a plurality of tool post assemblies supported by the machine frame around the turret body, wherein each tool post assembly includes a tool post having one or more tool cartridge receiving openings respectively being configured to detachably receive a tool holder cartridge TC holding a tool.

A machine tool capable of facilitating the setting of the vibration cutting conditions. A control unit acquires a feed speed of a object to be fed without a vibration (Fa), a number of rotations of a spindle required for a single cycle of the vibration (K), and a returning amount (R) representing a distance of a returning feed per the single cycle of the vibration. According to the acquired parameters, the control unit decides at least one parameter among a cutting amount (D) representing a distance of a change in a position of the object per the single cycle of the vibration, a cutting feed speed (F) of the object, and a returning feed speed (B) of the object. The control unit controls the position of the object to be fed with the vibration at least according to the decided parameter.

A lathe system includes a spindle capable of gripping a bar and moving back and forth in an axial direction of the bar and a tool post to which a first tool is attached. The lathe system can manufacture a plurality of products having an identical shape from the bar by repeating a machining of the bar, a cutting off of a machined portion of the bar, and a grip change by the spindle, the grip change by the spindle comprising releasing the bar, moving back, and re-gripping the bar at a predetermined gripping position. The lathe system further includes a gripping position selecting unit capable of selecting a special gripping position at which the spindle re-grips the bar when a state of the machine tool system meets a predetermined condition, the special gripping position being different from the predetermined gripping position.
