Abstract: A controller of a machine tool acquires coordinates of a first machining start point of an eccentric shape in a reference phase of a workpiece around a spindle axis, a second machining start point in an anti-phase, a first machining end point in the reference phase, and a second machining end point in the anti-phase. The controller decides a moving path of the tool in association with rotation of the workpiece at least according to the coordinates of the first start point, the second start point, the first end point, and the second end point to form the eccentric shape around an eccentric axis passing a start point origin between the first start point and the second start point and an end point origin between the first end point and the second end point and thereby controls movement of the tool in association with rotation of the workpiece.

Abstract: The invention provides a machine tool capable of facilitating a process of switching product ejecting apparatuses. The machine tool comprises a spindle which rotates a workpiece around an axis of the spindle, an actuator which reciprocates a rod arranged parallel to the axis of the spindle, and a coupler switched between a coupling position and a standby position. The coupler connects the rod and an ejecting shaft inserted in the spindle when held in the coupling position. The coupler is not connected to at least the ejecting shaft when held in the standby position. The ejecting shaft along with the coupler is moved in the direction of the axis of the spindle according to reciprocation of the rod when the coupler is held in the coupling position.

Abstract: Whenever there happens a change in the state of a device, a host is assured of the current state information of the device. The state information returned from the printer as a response to an inquiry sent from the web print server is stored in a storing unit of the web print server. A result of determination representing whether there happens a change in the state of the printer is stored in the storing unit. The information stored in the storing unit is notified to the tablet as a response to an inquiry sent from the tablet to the web print server. The current state information of the printer is notified to the tablet via the web print server whenever there happens a change in the state of the printer regardless of whether the printer is operated under control of the tablet.

Abstract: The invention provides a machine tool eliminating the need of keeping the removed feed-mechanism-protection cover outside the machine. The machine tool comprises a headstock provided with a main spindle for gripping a workpiece; a driving unit provided with a feed mechanism extended along a main spindle axis to move the headstock in a main spindle axial direction; a supporting bed provided with a guide bush in a removable manner; a first cover mounted on the headstock to protect a portion of the feed mechanism with respect to the main spindle axial direction; and a second cover removably mounted on the headstock on the front side of the first cover to protect another portion of the feed mechanism. The second cover is detachably attached to the first cover when removed from the headstock.

Abstract: Upon completion of print data transmission, the host terminal sends to a network printer a finish command via a print port and further a forced disconnection request command via another communication port. If the finish command is lost due to a network failure, the network printer forcibly disconnects the host terminal from the print port of the network printer in response to the forced disconnection request command, thereby allowing the other host terminals to use the network printer without waiting the elapse of the time-out period.

Abstract: The configuration is provided with three flexible arms extending in the same circumferential direction, as a suspension for supporting the magnetic circuit unit in displaceable fashion in the vertical direction with respect to a coil support member. This assures sufficient length of each of the flexible arms, enhancing the vibration characteristics. Next, arm insertion slots having approximately the same vertical Width as the flexible arms are formed at three locations in the circumferential direction in the coil support member. The distal end of each flexible arm is then inserted into the arm insertion slot, doing so in the aforementioned same circumferential direction, causing a barb to engage an engaging part and detain the flexible arm.

Abstract: A machine tool includes a tool post having a tool unit for machining a workpiece, operation control means for controlling the operation of the tool unit in accordance with a plurality of commands described in a numerical control program and movement limiting means for inhibiting entry of the tool unit into a no-entry region. The plurality of commands include a limit value setting command for calculating a limit value of a position of the tool unit avoiding interference with a machine element located within a movable region of the tool unit and for determining the no-entry region by the calculated limit value. Upon reading the limit value setting command out of the numerical control program, the operation control means calculates the limit value and determines the no-entry region by the calculated limit value.

Abstract: A user can reliably select a desired printer without a complicated procedure for selecting a printer queue. A print control apparatus acquires identification information for specifying a printer from the printer by NFC communication. Based on the acquired identification information, a printer queue and a corresponding printer driver are selected by application software and printing is executed accordingly. The printer queue corresponding to the printer which the user wants to use for printing can be automatically specified by the application software, so the user does not need to perform a complicated procedure for selecting a printer queue from a list containing misleading names.
