A spindle-bearing protecting device is provided that captures an indication of failure of the spindle bearings of a machine tool and can prolong the time until the main bearing is scorched. A spindle-bearing protecting device for protecting a bearing that supports a spindle to be rotatable, includes: a rotating part provided more to an outer side in an axial direction than the bearing, and having a rotor blade that rotates along with the spindle; a supply part that supplies coolant or lubricant to between the rotor blade and the bearing; a detection unit that detects abnormality of the bearing; and a control unit that controls a supply of coolant or lubricant by way of the supply part and the revolution speed of the spindle, in a case of the detection unit detecting abnormality of the bearing.

A debris receptacle for a router table includes an enclosure configured to be attached to the router table. The enclosure defines an interior sized and shaped to receive a router. The enclosure defines a debris inlet aperture in fluid communication with a router bit aperture of the work platform so that the interior receives the debris from router bit aperture via the debris inlet aperture. The enclosure also defines a debris outlet aperture in fluid communication with a dust collector to remove debris from the interior. The enclosure further defines an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with air in an environment outside the enclosure. The debris receptacle also includes an air intake conduit for fluidly coupling the air inlet aperture to an air inlet of the router, thereby enabling the router to draw air into the router from the environment outside the enclosure to cool the router.

A supplementary mechanism that provides a temperature rise and fall effect to a machine tool spindle is mainly used to connect to pipelines between a machine tool spindle and a cooling device. The present invention provides an additional heating function to the spindle of the machine tool that originally has a cooling device, and still retains its original cooling function. The supplementary mechanism can provide the effect of raising and lowering the temperature. When cooling, the liquid provided by the cooling device is passed to directly cool the machine tool spindle. When raising the temperature, the flow path is switched, so that the liquid of the cooling device cannot flow to the machine tool spindle, and the liquid flowing out of the machine tool spindle forms an independent circulation channel, and the supplementary mechanism heats the liquid in the independent circulation channel, achieving the effect of rapid heating.

A cutting fluid supplying device for a machine tool includes a machine tool having a structure body including a bed, a column disposed on the bed, and a spindle head disposed to the column and at least one of the ejection ports for ejecting a cutting fluid. The cutting fluid supplying device for a machine tool further includes a storage tank for storing the cutting fluid to be supplied to the machine tool, at least one of the cutting fluid flow passages for connecting the storage tank and the at least one of the ejection ports, and at least one of the pumps for applying pressure to the cutting fluid to supply the cutting fluid stored in the storage tank to the at least one of the cutting fluid flow passages. The at least one of the cutting fluid flow passages is disposed to penetrate through or disposed on an outer surface of the structure body so as to allow heat exchange between the cutting fluid and the structure body.

A spindle device of a machine tool is provided with: a rear-side bearing and front-side bearings which rotatably support a spindle with respect to a housing; a built-in motor which is disposed around the spindle between the front-side bearings and the rear-side bearing; heat pipes which are embedded in the spindle and which transmit heat between the central part and the rear-end part of the spindle; a plurality of plate-like inner fins which are affixed to a rear part of the spindle that protrudes rearward of the rear-side bearing and which extend perpendicularly with respect to the rotation axis of the spindle; and a plurality of plate-like outer fins which are affixed to the housing and which are disposed between the plurality of inner fins in such a manner as not to contact the inner fins.

A spindle includes a housing including a first opening, a bearing housed in the housing, a main shaft rotatably supported by the bearing, a collet chuck in a first through hole defined in the main shaft to grip a machining tool and being movable in an axial direction of the main shaft, a draw bar connected to the collet chuck, and a cover covering the first opening and including a second through hole through which the main shaft is disposed. The main shaft and the cover are disposed at a distance from each other.

Provided is a machine tool hand including a body portion that is mounted so as to be attachable to and detachable from a spindle of a machine tool, and that is provided with a flow path connected to a coolant-liquid supply path formed in the spindle; and two or more hand members that are attached to the body portion such that at least one of the hand members is pivotable about a prescribed axis, and that are capable of gripping an object therebetween by being closed. The flow path is provided with discharge ports via which a coolant liquid supplied from the coolant-liquid supply path is discharged toward surfaces of the hand members that are exposed to an outside, and a pressure of the coolant liquid causes an opening operation or a closing operation of the hand members.

A debris receptacle for a router table includes an enclosure configured to be attached to the router table. The enclosure defines an interior sized and shaped to receive a router. The enclosure defines a debris inlet aperture in fluid communication with a router bit aperture of the work platform so that the interior receives the debris from router bit aperture via the debris inlet aperture. The enclosure also defines a debris outlet aperture in fluid communication with a dust collector to remove debris from the interior. The enclosure further defines an air inlet aperture in fluid communication with air in an environment outside the enclosure. The debris receptacle also includes an air intake conduit for fluidly coupling the air inlet aperture to an air inlet of the router, thereby enabling the router to draw air into the router from the environment outside the enclosure to cool the router.

A table rotation device includes a bearing assembly, a table support member, a support block, and a cooling block. The bearing assembly includes a fixed ring, a movable ring, and rolling elements provided between the fixed ring and the movable. The movable ring is rotatable about the rotation axis. The table support member is connected to the movable ring so as to fix a position of the table support member relative to a position of the movable ring. The support block is connected to the fixed ring so as to fix a position of the support block relative to a position of the fixed ring. The cooling block is connected to at least one of the fixed ring and the support block such that the cooling block is in contact with both the fixed ring and the support block. The cooling block provides a cooling passage.

A regeneration device for regenerating a coolant dispersion with phase change material includes: a redispersion unit for redispersing the coolant dispersion, the redispersion unit including a restrictor; and a recooling unit that enables freezing of a phase change material by dissipating heat stored in the coolant dispersion. The recooling unit is arranged so that dissipated heat is at least partially recuperated in order to heat up the coolant dispersion to an inlet temperature.
