A rotating tool is held in a tool holder. The tool holder includes a male tapered portion. The tool holder is rotated by a rotating-tool main shaft. The rotating-tool main shaft includes a hollow main shaft. The hollow main shaft includes a circular conical hole formed in a tip and corresponding to the male tapered portion. The hollow main shaft includes a fluid passage to detect that the male tapered portion is properly attached to the circular conical hole, and an opening to blow out a fluid. The opening is provided in a portion offset from the circular conical hole.

Main shaft for rotating tool provided with tool seating check function

A rotating-tool main shaft includes a hollow ram, a hollow main shaft, a collet, a draw bar that moves the collet in the axial direction, a hydraulic cylinder that moves forwardly the draw bar, and a disc spring that moves backwardly the draw bar. The draw bar includes a spring catch which is retained in the hollow main shaft so as to be movable, and which catches the disc spring. The disc spring is placed in the hollow main shaft, and is placed within a distance that is at least a half of a distance from a tip of the draw bar to the spring catch in the axial direction.

A digital camera of the present invention includes a receiving portionthat receives a control signal from a remote controller, and a microcomputerhaving a live view mode controlling so that image data generated by a CMOS sensoror image data obtained by subjecting the image data generated by the CMOS sensorto predetermined processing is displayed on a liquid crystal monitoras a moving image in real time, wherein when the receiving portionreceives the control signal from the remote controller, the microcomputercontrols so as to shift the digital camera to a live view mode. Due to this configuration, in a digital camera that includes a movable mirror and is capable of displaying a subject image in a live view through an electronic viewfinder, the operability thereof can be enhanced.

A digital camera of the present invention includes a microcomputerhaving a live view mode controlling so that image data generated by a CMOS sensoror image data obtained by subjecting the image data generated by the CMOS sensorto predetermined processing is displayed on a liquid crystal monitoras a moving image in real time, and the microcomputercontrols so that movable mirrorsandto enter an optical path of an image pickup optical system after the amount of light from a subject is obtained based on the image data generated by the CMOS sensor, a strobeemits light, and measurement results of an AE sensorare obtained. Due to this configuration, in a digital camera that includes a movable mirror and is capable of displaying a subject image in a live view through an electronic viewfinder, the operability thereof can be enhanced.

Digital camera with live view mode

A digital camera of the present invention includes a microcomputerhaving a live view mode controlling so that image data generated by a CMOS sensoror image data obtained by subjecting the image data generated by the CMOS sensorto predetermined processing is displayed on a liquid crystal monitoras a moving image in real time, wherein the microcomputercontrols so that, when the live view mode is set, the digital camera comes out of the live view mode, and setting information on the digital camera is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor, in accordance with the manipulation of the manipulation portion. Due to this configuration, in a digital camera that includes a movable mirror and is capable of displaying a subject image in a live view through an electronic viewfinder, the operability thereof can be enhanced.
