    摘要: A machine tool, comprising: a worktable assembly slidably carried by the machine frame for reciprocal movement along a work axis and which is configured to carry a workpiece. A worktool assembly is slidably carried by said machine frame for reciprocal movement along a worktool axis at a predetermined angle with respect to said work axis and so as to intersect same. A reference straight edge is carried by said worktable assembly and has a reference surface. Reference sensing means is carried by said machine frame for coaction with said reference straight edge reference surface, to measure reference spacing between said reference surface and said reference sensing means and to provide a reference output indictive of said reference spacing. Control means is provided to facilitate movement of said worktool towards and away from said work axis, which is responsive to said reference output to further facilitate worktool movement towards said work axis. The reference sensing means includes a fixed electrode that forms with said reference surface a capacitance gauge. The control means includes a look-up table storing information relative to initial dispositions of said reference surface and said reference sensing means, to provide an initial disposition output indicative thereof to further modify and facilitate worktool movement towards said work axis. The look-up table initial disposition output is indicative of the flatness of said reference surface.

    摘要: A machine tool comprising a bed, a worktable movable relative to the bed along a linear path and a tool movable to engage a workpiece on the worktable wherein drive means for effecting the movement of the worktable relative to the bed and therefore to the tool comprises a friction drive so as to provide a smooth carriage motion to the worktable. The worktable may be slidable along a slideway which defines the linear path for the worktable and the drive means therefor comprises an elongate member forming a track mounted parallel to the slideway. Wheel means frictionally engages the track and is carried by drive means therefor mounted on the worktable so that the axis of rotaion of the wheel means is fixed in relation to the worktable. The drive means for rotating the wheel means is operable to drive the wheel means in one direction or the other, the rotation of the wheel means and the friction engagement of the wheel means and the track causing the worktable to move in one direction or the other depending on the direction of rotation of the wheel means.

    摘要: A reference straight-edge is mounted on the worktable of a machine tool so that the position of the worktable and a workpiece carried thereon can be determined in respect of the x-axis of the machine tool by sensing the straight-edge; in addition a linear scale is carried by the tool carriage of the machine tool for cooperation with a reading head to provide an indication of the tool position along the x-axis. Another linear scale is carried by the worktable and coacts with a read head to provide the position of the worktable and workpiece along the z-axis. The linear scale of the tool and the reference straight-edge, and the reading head and sensing device associated therewith are all in the same plane. The workhead and tailstock spindles are equipped with hydrostatic bearings which have sensing devices to determine forces applied to workpieces carried between the headstock and tailstock on a worksteady and cooperate therewith to activate a probe to offset such forces.
