An abnormality detection device of a machine tool includes a plurality of vibration sensors mounted on a body of the machine tool at a plurality of positions; and a determination portion that determines an operation condition of the machine tool based on vibration information detected by the vibration sensors. The abnormality detection device detects abnormality of the machine tool according to determination information of the determination portion. The determination portion specifies a predetermined item whose machining accuracy lowers based on the mounted position of the vibration sensor that has detected abnormal vibration.

Abnormality detection device and machine tool including abnormality detection device

A machine tool includes a movement device, which has a first feed shaft and a second feed shaft that mutually intersect, and a plurality of tools, which are driven by the movement device and respective blade edges of which are staggered stepwise. The blade edges of the tools are aligned with the second axis due to the inclination of the tools as a unit. The machine tool is capable of executing center level adjustment of a plurality of tools mounted on a tool post against a workpiece having a larger diameter, and is also capable of reducing wasted time in non-cutting operation via equal stroke lengths of the tools.
