A gear machining device for machining a gear by using a machining tool which has a rotation axis inclined relative to a rotation axis of a workpiece and feeding the machining tool relatively in the rotation axis direction of the workpiece by rotating the machining tool in synchronization with a rotation of the workpiece. The gear machining device includes a tool state memorizing portion for memorizing a tool state including a position or a posture of the machining tool relative to the workpiece for machining a tooth bottom, first and second side surfaces of the gear and a machining control portion for controlling machining of the workpiece under each tool state of the machining tool memorized in the tool state memorizing portion.

Gear machining device and gear machining method

A machine tool includes: a hydraulic pump that supplies pressure oil; a fixture plate that positions a workpiece; a fixture base that detachably holds the fixture plate and that moves relative to a tool during machining; a hydraulic cylinder performs an attaching/removing operation for attaching or removing the fixture plate to or from the fixture base; an accumulator that accumulates the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump and that supplies the pressure oil to the hydraulic cylinder; and a manual valve that is manually switched to supply the pressure oil in the accumulator to the hydraulic cylinder to thereby control the attaching/removing operation of the hydraulic cylinder.
