Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A machine tool includes: a spindle head; a spindle rotatably supported on the spindle head; a chuck unit configured to chuck a tool inserted in an axis direction of the spindle; a tool holder configured to hold the tool attached to the chuck unit; and a rotary arm configured to move the tool holder to a reachable position of the spindle. The tool holder is supported on the rotary arm by a support mechanism, and the support mechanism includes a displacement following mechanism configured to support the tool holder on the rotary arm in a manner to be capable of displacing the tool holder in a direction intersecting an axis of the tool.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A machine tool comprising: a spindle head; a spindle rotatably supported on the spindle head; a tool attachable to the spindle; a chuck unit provided to a tip of the spindle and configured to chuck the tool inserted in an axis direction of the spindle; a tool holder configured to hold the tool attached to the chuck unit; a holder transfer mechanism configured to move the tool holder to a reachable position of the spindle; and a support mechanism configured to support the tool holder on the holder transfer mechanism, wherein the support mechanism comprises a displacement following mechanism configured to support the tool holder on the holder transfer mechanism in a manner to be capable of displacing the tool holder in a direction intersecting an axis of the tool. 2 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the displacement following mechanism comprises a portion elastically deformable in two directions that each intersect the axis of the tool and intersect each other. 3 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the support mechanism comprises a position adjusting mechanism configured to adjust a position of the tool holder relative to the holder transfer mechanism in the direction intersecting the axis of the tool. 4 . The machine tool according to claim 3 , wherein the position adjusting mechanism comprises portions positionally adjustable in two directions that each intersect the axis of the tool and intersect each other.
