摘要:
A lathe or each of lathes of a machining system comprises a head stock, which is transferred on a rail mechanism. The rail mechanism includes a vertically guiding rail which is mounted on a horizontally guiding rail. A turret has a turret support which has a pair of turret support attaching surfaces. The turret is attached with either of turret support attaching surfaces. A extruded horizontally guiding rail is located between both the bed bodies, each of which is included in each of the lathes. The extruded horizontally guiding rail is identical with a connecting guiding rail which connects the one horizontally guiding rail of the one lathe with the other horizontally guiding rail of the other lathe. A work stocking means is located between the bed bodies. A reversing means for reversing works is provided with the head stock.

A temperature change of a machine tool which is influenced by a heat generating source is detected by a temperature sensor. A temperature change having substantially the same time constant as a time constant of a thermal distortion of the machine tool is calculated by using the detected temperature change. A machining error is corrected on the basis of the thermal distortion corresponding to the calculated temperature change. According to a method and an apparatus for compensating for the thermal distortion in the machine tool, it is possible to perform the compensation relative to the thermal distortion with high precision. The invention is applied to a machine tool such as a machining center and an NC lathe.

Disclosed is a structure of a turret head provided with turning tool mounting mechanisms and revolving tool mounting mechanisms on the turret, wherein a turning tool can be mounted on the revolving tool mounting mechanism rotatably mounted on the turret. The turning tool is mounted on the turret at a holder of the tool for positioning and at the same time is tightly affixed to the revolving tool mounting mechanism at the tapered portion of the tool.Also provided is an engaging and disengaging mechanism for engaging and disengaging a gear of a unit drive shaft relative to a gear of a revolving tool mounting mechanism in preparation for mounting a revolving tool different in direction.This feature enables a revolving tool different in direction to be driven.Another feature is a provision of a lock gear. Locking the lock gear allows the revolving tool mounting mechanism to be employed for turning tools. The revolving tool mounting mechanism can be used for revolving tools when the lock gear is unlocked.

A cutting edge measuring device is disclosed, which is simple and small-sized in its construction. The cutting edge measuring device comprises: an arm 13 provided on a headstock 7 and movable between the retracting position A at which the arm does not interrupt a workpiece chucked in a main spindle and the working tool T and the measuring position at which measurement of the cutting edge is carried out; sensors 14a provided on the arm 13 and detecting the cutting edge position at an offset position from the axis of the main spindle with contacting or non-contacting fashion so as to transmit detecting signals; and positioning means 15, 27b, 28b for positioning and retaining the arm 13 at the measuring position B. By this arrangement, the cutting edge measuring device ensures measurement of the cutting edge while a workpiece is chucked in the main spindle.
