The objective of the present invention is to provide a machine tool control device with which chips can be reliably divided and discharged, and with which damage to a tool can be suppressed by reducing shock when the tool cuts into a workpiece. A machine tool control device 100 which controls a main axis that causes a tool T to rotate relative to a workpiece W, and which executes a cutting process by controlling a feed axis to move the tool T and the workpiece W while causing the same to oscillate relative to one another in a feed direction, is provided with an oscillation command generating unit 16 which generates an oscillation command on the basis of a predetermined oscillation condition, and a position and speed control unit 15 which controls a motor 30 that drives the feed axis, on the basis of a superimposed command generated by superimposing the oscillation command generated by the oscillation command generating unit 16 onto a position command or a position deviation, wherein the oscillation command generating unit 16 changes at least one of an oscillation command phase progression method and an oscillation command amplitude, on the basis of either an oscillation phase calculated on the basis of the predetermined oscillation condition, or time.

Power tool and method of operating an automated drilling operation

A power tool includes a pneumatic motor with an output shaft, a spindle that is drivingly connected to the output shaft via a drive gear to provide a rotational movement to the spindle and via a feed gear to provide a translational movement to the spindle. A cylinder that governs the gear transmission to the feed gear is arranged to be translated between a retraction gearing position and an advancement gearing position. The retraction gearing includes a retraction torque limiting coupling adapted to be released when an operational torque (T) exceeds a retraction threshold torque (T.sub.R) in order to terminate retraction. A lock mechanism is arranged to selectively block the cylinder in the retraction gearing position through engagement between a tooth of a ratchet on the lock mechanism and a shoulder on the cylinder. The lock mechanism assures that the cylinder is kept in the retraction gearing position during an initial phase of the retraction of the spindle.

Reciprocating tool having planetary gear assembly and counterweighting assembly

A power-driven reciprocating tool may include a transmission mechanism that converts rotational force from a motor to linear force to be output by a reciprocating mechanism coupled thereto, and a counterbalancing mechanism coupled to the transmission mechanism to counter-balance forces generated by the reciprocating mechanism. The transmission mechanism may include a planetary gear assembly including a sun gear in meshed engagement with at least one planet gear. In response to a force converted by and transmitted from the transmission mechanism, the reciprocating mechanism may move in a first linear direction, and the counterbalancing mechanism may move in a second linear direction, opposite the first linear direction. The opposite linear movement of the reciprocating mechanism and the counterbalancing mechanism may counteract forces generated by the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating mechanism, thus reducing vibration output by the tool.
