As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cross rail support device 180 includes a vertical post 182 provided so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis from a post support 181 disposed in the vicinity of the base 10. A horizontal arm 183 provided at the upper end of the post 182, and a height adjusting member 184 is attached to the tip of the horizontal arm 183.
[0037]
In FIG. 3, the horizontal arm 183 has a retracted position away from the vertical lathe body (the rotary table 30 and the cross rail portion 62) as indicated by reference numeral A, and a high position as indicated by reference numeral B. The height adjusting member 184 is pivotable between a supporting position that engages with and supports the auxiliary bracket 104 fixed to the front end portion of the cross rail portion 62 from the lower side.

[0040]
(Linear table unit)
The linear table unit 210 is added on the rotary table 30 during the planing process, and as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the fixed base 211 is detachably fixed on the rotary table 30. have. Two linear guide portions 212 and 213 that are parallel to each other are formed on the fixed base 211, and a linear table 214 is provided on the linear guide portions 212 and 213 so as to be able to reciprocate.
[0041]
The linear guide of the linear table 214 in the linear guide portions 212 and 213 is constituted by a finite VV rolling guide 215. Similar to the finite VV rolling guide 68 described above, the finite VV rolling guide 215 includes a plurality of needle rollers (not shown) by a V-shaped cross-section roller holding cage 216 having a predetermined length in the moving direction. Are arranged between the fixed base 211 and the V-shaped cross-sectional linear guide rails 211A and 214A of the linear table 214.
[0042]
Application of the finite V-V rolling guide 215 provides high rigidity and low friction with respect to the movement of the linear table 214 (Y-axis movement), and high motion accuracy with less micro-waviness compared to the circulating rolling guide. .
[0043]
On the fixed base 211, a feed screw rod 219 is provided by a ball screw supported at both ends rotatably by bearing brats 217 and 218. A ball nut 221 is attached to the linear table 214 by a parallel spring member 220. The ball nut 221 is screwed to the feed screw rod 219. The feed screw rod 219 is drivingly connected to a servo motor 222 mounted on the fixed base 211 and is rotationally driven by the servo motor 222. As a result, the linear table 214 is axially moved by the servo motor 222.
[0044]
The parallel spring member 220 is the same as the parallel spring member 92 described above, and shows a kind of high rigidity due to the thickness in the axial feed direction, and is elastically deformed by a thin bridge portion 223 on the upper, lower, left and right sides with respect to the shaking motion. It is a flexible coupling that absorbs bending of the ball screw and misalignment between the feed screw rod 219 and the ball nut 221 and reduces swinging caused by rotation of the ball screw.
[0045]
A large number of vacuum suction holes 224 are opened on the upper surface of the linear table 214, and a vacuum suction chuck is formed on the table upper surface for sucking and holding a work material (workpiece) by vacuum pressure.
[0046]
(Usage example of vertical lathe)
Next, as a usage example of the vertical lathe having the above-described configuration, a process of manufacturing a Fresnel lens molding die by turning will be described.
(1) The length (tool length) of the bite tool T attached to the tool attachment portion 166 of the tool holder 151 is measured using the microscope 63.
[0047]
(2) The turning center of the work material (the rotation center of the rotary table 30) and the bite tool T attached to the tool attachment portion 166 of the tool holder 151 are aligned.
[0048]
(3) With the horizontal arm 183 of the cross rail support device 180 positioned at the retracted position A, the material (work material) of the Fresnel lens molding die is carried onto the rotary table 30 and vacuum suction of the rotary table 30 is performed. The work material is fixed at a specified position by the chuck.
[0049]
(4) The horizontal arm 183 of the cross rail support device 180 is moved to the support position B, and the tip of the cross rail portion 62 is held by the height adjusting member 184.
[0050]
In this case, as the X-axis position of the saddle 90 is closer to the distal end side of the cross rail portion 62, the height adjusting member 184 can be extended to strengthen the support of the cross rail portion 62 of the cross rail support device 180.
[0051]
This is because the cross rail support device 180 supports the load at the front end of the cross rail by the height adjustment member 184 according to the change in the ratio of the support load between the cross rail base side and the front end according to the X-axis position of the saddle 90. Can be adjusted to an appropriate value.
[0052]
(5) In the unclamped state, the rotation angle of the tool holder 151 is adjusted by the B-axis servomotor 163, the angle of the tool tool T is adjusted to the inclination angle of the lens surface (Fresnel surface) of the Fresnel lens, and the tool holder shaft 154 (B The rotary table 30 is rotated at a predetermined rotational speed by the table driving motor 42, the X-axis position of the saddle 90 is set by the X-axis servo motor 74, and the ram 120 is moved by the Z-axis servo motor 100. Z-axis feed (cut feed) and turning of the Fresnel lens mold is started.
[0053]
(6) Since the lens surface (Fresnel surface) tilt angle of the Fresnel lens varies depending on the radial position of the Fresnel lens molding die, the B-axis servo is used in the same manner as in (5) according to the X-axis position of the saddle 90. The rotation angle of the tool holder 151 is adjusted by the motor 163, the angle of the tool bit T is changed in accordance with the inclination angle of the lens surface (Fresnel surface) of the Fresnel lens, and the ram 120 is Z-axis fed (cut-in fed) by the Z-axis servo motor 100. ) And turn the Fresnel lens mold. The turning of the Fresnel lens mold is performed from the center of the table turning to the outside.
[0054]
At the time of turning as described above, the tip end of the cross rail portion 62 is supported by the cross rail support device 180, so that the apparent rigidity of the cross rail portion is improved, and the saddle 90 is moved along the cross rail portion 62 by X Even if the shaft is moved, the cross rail portion 90 does not bend and high processing accuracy is obtained.
[0055]
The horizontal arm 183 of the cross rail support device 180 is located at the retracted position A when the work material is carried in and out of the rotary table 30, so that the accessibility to the rotary table, which is an advantage of the open side column type vertical lathe itself, is achieved. There is no hindrance.
[0056]
(Example of using a vertical lathe with a linear table unit)
When performing a planing process such as production of a linear Fresnel lens molding die or a windshield light guide plate molding die, the fixed base 211 of the linear table unit 210 is mounted as shown in FIGS.

[0057]
When this adjustment is completed, the hydraulic pressure is supplied only to the static pressure pocket 14 or 15 on one side of the hydrostatic bearing 11, and the rotary table 30 is clamped on the base 10 in a non-rotatable manner by the hydraulic pressure of the hydrostatic bearing portion.
[0058]
The work material is placed on the linear table 214 of the linear table unit 210, and the work material is sucked and held on the linear table 214 by the vacuum suction chuck of the linear table 214.
[0059]
In machining using the linear table unit 210, the angle of the bite tool is adjusted by the X-axis movement of the saddle 90, the Y-axis movement of the linear table 214, the Z-axis movement of the ram 120, and the B-axis rotation of the tool holder shaft 154. Planing can be performed in a changeable manner.
[0060]
In addition, even in the planing process, by supporting the tip of the cross rail portion 62 by the cross rail support device 180, the apparent rigidity of the cross rail portion is improved, and the saddle 90 extends along the X axis along the cross rail portion 62.
