Machine tool and machining method
A machine tool includes a main spindle ( 10 ) which holds a workpiece ( 200 , object to be machined) and is rotatable about the shaft center (C 1 ), a main spindle motor ( 20 , main spindle driver) which rotates the main spindle ( 10 ), a rotary guide bush ( 30 , eccentric guide bush) which supports the workpiece ( 200 ) projecting from a leading end of the main spindle ( 10 ) to be rotatable in a state of being eccentric relative to the shaft center (C 1 ) by a length E, a guide bush servomotor ( 40 , guide bush driver) which rotates the rotary guide bush ( 30 ) about the shaft center (C 1 ) in synchronization with the main spindle ( 10 ), and a controller ( 50 ) which controls the rotation and driving of the guide bush servomotor ( 40 ), so as to selectively switch between the rotation state and the stop state of the rotation.
1. A machine tool comprising:
a main spindle having a shaft center which fastens an object to be machined such that the shaft center is aligned with a center of the object to be machined, and rotates integrally with the object to be machined;
an eccentric guide bush which supports the object to be machined projecting from a leading end of the main spindle in a state of being eccentric relative to the shaft center of the main spindle, wherein the eccentric guide bush is switched between a rotation state rotating about the shaft center of the main spindle and a stop state;
a main spindle driver which rotates the main spindle about the shaft center;
a guide bush driver which rotates the eccentric guide bush about the shaft center; and
a controller configured to control the guide bush driver so as to switch the eccentric guide bush between the rotation state rotating about the shaft center in synchronization with the main spindle and the stop state.
2. The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation of the eccentric guide bush and the rotation of the main spindle are adjusted, so as to change a phase of the object to be machined in a portion of the eccentric guide bush, which eccentrically supports the object to be machined.
3. The machine tool according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a phase controller which controls at least one of the main spindle driver and the guide bush driver, so as to change the phase of the object to be machined in the portion of the eccentric guide bush, which eccentrically supports the object to be machined.
4. The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein
a corner portion adjacent to an inner circumferential surface supporting the object to be machined in an end face facing the main spindle in an end face of the eccentric guide bush is chamfered.
