The device comprises two skew rollers, a guiding plate, two guiding cylinders and an axial pushing device; the skew rollers can do same-direction rotation motion, radial feeding motion and tilt angle adjustment motion; the guiding plate is arranged between the two skew rollers and is used for limiting the radial movement of a blank; the two guiding cylinders are arranged on the two sides of the two skew rollers to limit swing of the blank; and the axial pushing device is arranged at one end of the blank and is used for applying axial pushing force to the blank, and the blank is rolled into a shaft part in a space defined by the skew rollers and the guiding plate. The method of the invention includes a radial compression forming process, a roller tilting forming process, a skew rolling diameter reduction forming process and a roller leveling forming process. The device and method for forming shaft part by two-roller flexible skew rolling have the advantages that forming equipment is simple, the tonnage is small, flexible production can be achieved, and core loose defects can be reduced and even avoided.

A loose component supply device in which components scattered on stage are imaged by camera. Because the viewing angle of the camera is α>0, a side surface of the component is imaged. Based on the image data of the component, an index value specifying a size of the side surface of the component is calculated. Then, in a case in which the calculated index value matches a set value, it is determined that it is possible to hold the component. In other words, in a case in which there is a certain distance between multiple components, from imaging a side surface of the component, if an index value that specifies the size of the side surface of the component matches the set value, it is determined that it is possible to hold the component.

An electric motor capacity selection device includes: a multi-axis system model holding unit that holds a plurality of types of multi-axis system models each representing a configuration of a multi-axis system constructed by combination of a plurality of machine elements and a plurality of electric motors; a capacity selection unit that selects, based on a selected multi-axis system model that is one multi-axis system model selected from among the plurality of types of multi-axis system models held by the multi-axis system model holding unit, capacities of the electric motors constituting the multi-axis system model represented by the selected multi-axis system model; and a selection result notification unit that makes notification of a selection result by the capacity selection unit.

A tool changer includes a holding member having a tool change arm disposed thereon, a rotation mechanism rotating the holding member at a first rotation speed in normal and reverse directions, a forward/backward movement mechanism moving the holding member forward and backward at a first forward/backward movement speed, and a controller comparing a first difference as a difference between a command value for the rotation and an output value of an encoder with a first threshold. When the first difference is equal to or greater than the first threshold, a rotational speed of the holding member is chained to a second rotation speed slower than the first rotation speed. Alternatively, when the first difference is less than the first threshold, the rotational speed of the holding member is maintained at the first rotation speed.

A numerical control device is a numerical control device that controls a machine tool including a plurality of axes, and includes a reading unit that reads a machining program for machining a workpiece, and when the machining program read by the reading unit is a machining program for simultaneously operating five or more axes of the plurality of axes, controls operation of the five or more axes to be simultaneously operated in the machining program by dividing the operation into a plurality of sets of operation of four or less axes.

A numerical control device that controls a servomotor on the basis of a machining program. The machining program determines whether or not to perform correction on reversal of a moving direction of a mechanical system driven in a movement axis direction by the servomotor. This is done on the basis of the machining program including an instruction that causes the reversal of the moving direction of the mechanical system and another instruction to be executed later than the instruction.

A machining time calculating apparatus calculates operation schedule information indicating the operation time of each of a plurality of systems that is included in a machine tool and can be controlled independently of one another. The machining time calculating apparatus includes a system cycle time calculation unit. On the basis of wait commands among the plurality of systems described in a machining program (PG) for the machine tool, the system cycle time calculation unit calculates the operation schedule information in which the operation start times of blocks in the machining program of each of the systems are adjusted while maintaining wait timings among the plurality of systems.
