Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A machine tool re-machines a workpiece after positioning drive motors, a hob and the workpiece by stopping the drive motors with the rotational positions of the drive motors, the hob and the workpiece corresponding to their respective zero positions. For this purpose, a drive control section recognizes, based on the rotational-speed ratio of the drive motor corresponding to the hob and the hob and/or the rotational-speed ratio of the drive motor corresponding to the workpiece to the workpiece, and detection signals from detection sensors detecting that the rotational positions of the drive motors are at their respective zero positions, detections signals when the rotational positions of the drive motors and the rotational positions of the hob and the workpiece correspond to their respective zero positions, and stops the drive motors with the rotational positions of the drive motors, the hob and the workpiece corresponding to their respective zero positions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A machine tool for performing gear cutting on a workpiece with a hob, comprising: a first holding member for holding the hob; a second holding member for holding the workpiece; first drive means having a first drive motor for rotating the hob held by the first holding member about its axis; second drive means having a second drive motor for rotating the workpiece held by the second holding member about its axis; first detecting means transmitting a f…
