The machine tool apparatus comprises: multiple work machine modules configured to sequentially perform a series of manufacturing-related operations on a workpiece; a robot configured to convey the workpiece between the multiple work machine modules; an individual information-providing device configured to provide an individual information to the workpiece conveyed into the multiple work machine modules and subjected to manufacturing-related operations; a storage device; and a control device configured to link the manufacturing history of manufacturing-related operations performed on the workpiece by the multiple work machine modules and store the information in the storage section, the workpiece being a workpiece to which the individual information was provided by the individual information-providing device.

Machine tool apparatus for applying information to a surface of a workpiece during manufacturing-related operations

A workpiece transport robot configured to determine whether a workpiece gripping failure has occurred, the workpiece transport robot including a transport robot main body having a driving mechanism configured to move a held workpiece; a robot hand having a first chuck and a second chuck configured to grip workpieces on both front and back faces of the robot hand; a robot hand rotating mechanism configured to axially support the robot hand and position the robot hand in a rotational direction with a servomotor, the robot hand supported with the transport robot main body via a rotation shaft to which first chuck and second chuck are symmetrically positioned, and a control device configured to compare measurement state information of the robot hand, of which information being based on torque information obtained by measuring and driving the servomotor; with workpiece gripping information obtained from a work program of the robot hand.

Workpiece transport robot

A machining system with a configuration in which working machines, including a machine tool, are configured to be disposed in a line, and in which multiple working machines perform operations on one work in order, is provided. The machining system includes: a base; and multiple working machine modules which are mounted on the base and are arranged in an arrangement direction, and has a configuration in which each of the multiple working machine modules is capable of being drawn out from the base along a track extending in an intersecting direction intersecting with the arrangement direction.

Machining system

A manufacturing system includes a base and multiple work machine modules that are attachable and detachable to and from the base arranged in the arrangement direction on the base or on the side of the base, in which the plurality of work machine modules include one or more processing work modules that perform machine processing work on a workpiece using a tool, and one or more supplementary work modules that perform supplementary work that is work supplementarily performed to the machine processing work. Since it is possible to easily increase and decrease the number of processing work modules and supplementary work modules or sort the modules, it is possible to easily recombine the modules with respect to modification of the manufacturing process.

Manufacturing system

An automatic monitoring interval-setting device, a machine tool, and an automatic monitoring interval-setting method by which a monitoring interval monitoring a load applied to a tool is able to be automatically set are provided. An automatic monitoring interval-setting device includes a control device including a memory section which stores a program including Gto Gfor processing a workpiece by using a tool, and a calculating section which is able to edit the program and executes a monitoring interval setting step of respectively inserting starting monitoring of a load applied to the tool into the front of Gto Gand ending the monitoring of the load into the rear of Gto Gwith respect to the program.

Automatic monitoring interval-setting device, machine tool, and automatic monitoring interval-setting method

A manufacture work machine for performing a manufacture work, including a plurality of work-element performing apparatuses each configured to perform one of a plurality of work elements that constitute the manufacture work, wherein the plurality of work-element performing apparatuses include a plurality of work head devices and wherein the plurality of work head devices include a first work head device and a second work head device which are mutually different in kind of a work to be performed.

Manufacture work machine

A manufacture work machine for performing a manufacture work including: a plurality of work-element performing apparatuses each including an individual control device; and a central control device configured to control the apparatuses and including a central communication section to transmit, according to one protocol, a motion command in a specific programming language, wherein the individual control device includes (a) an individual communication section configured to receive, according to the one protocol, the motion command transmitted from the central control device and (b) a command converting section configured to convert the motion command received by the individual communication section into a motion command in a programming language that the individual control device can handle, the individual control device being configured to control one of the plurality of work-element performing apparatuses that is controlled by the individual control device, on the basis of the motion command converted by the command converting section.

Manufacture work machine and manufacture work system

Disclosed in an automatic tool changer in which the tool changing time can be shortened by increasing overlapping operations of the turning operation and the axial advancing/retracting operation of a replacement arm. An arm driver () is so constituted that the driver performs overlapping operations such that at least a part of the operation for turning a replacement arm () by 180&#xb0; and the operation for advancing/retracting the replacement arm in the axial direction in order to insert or withdraw a tool () are performed simultaneously and in parallelism with each other. When the replacement arm () is advanced/retracted in the axial direction in order to insert or withdraw a tool, the replacement arm () is turned by a predetermined distance in a direction reverse to the direction (so called 'normal direction') for turning the arm by 180&#xb0; in parallelism with the advancing/retracting operation, and thereafter, the replacement arm () is turned in the normal direction.

Automatic tool changer

A method of machining a plurality of workpieces in an unmanned manner, including the steps of holding, with a jig, a first one of the workpieces, attaching the jig holding the first workpiece, to a workpiece holding device of at least one machining device, so that the first workpiece is machined by the machining device, detaching, after the machining of the first workpiece, the jig holding the first workpiece, from the workpiece holding device, removing the first workpiece from the jig, and holding, with the jig, a second one of the workpieces, and repeating the attaching step, the detaching step, and removing step.
