Latest Patents

One of Ozaki’s listed inventions, “Method for Dynamically Compensating for Tool Abrasion in a …,” addresses tool wear during machining. The method detects the machining load, estimates tool abrasion using a previously registered wear characteristic, and automatically adjusts the tool-position compensation amount. One described approach estimates wear by integrating a tool-abrasion coefficient scaled according to the ratio between the actual spindle-load current and a reference current.

Another listed invention, “Method of Controlling the Normal Direction of the Main Shaft of the …,” concerns maintaining the tool edge at a right angle to its direction of movement along the programmed machining path. It controls at least the main shaft’s rotation angle while the tool edge is offset from the shaft’s rotation center.

Career Highlights

The supplied career information associates Ozaki with Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd. and Kabushiki Kikai Kabushiki Kaisha. His listed inventions focus on machining processes, tool-wear compensation, and machine-tool control.

Collaborations

The supplied information names Tomoo Hayashi and Takahiro Funaki as Ozaki’s coworkers.

Conclusion

Yasuo Ozaki’s listed patents reflect practical innovations in machining, particularly automatic compensation for tool abrasion and precise control of tool orientation.
