実施例としての機械工作システム(以下、単に「システム」と言う場合がある)は、図1~図3に示すように、ベース10と、ベース10上に載置されて配列された4つの作業機モジュール(以下、単に「モジュール」と言う場合がある)12とを含んで構成されている。図1は、外装パネルが張られた状態を、図2は、外装パネルの一部が解放された状態を示している。図3は、外装パネルを外した状態を示している。ちなみに、当該システムの正面側、すなわち、操作パネル14が設けられている側が、図1では左前を向くように、図2では右前を向くように、図3では左前を向くように、当該システムがそれぞれ表わされている。以下の説明では、当該システムに関する「前後」,「左右」,「上下」を、当該システムの正面側から見た場合における前後,左右,上下として扱うこととする。また、4つのモジュールは左右方向に配列されていることから、左右方向を「配列方向」と、前後方向を、配列方向と交差する方向(詳しくは直交する方向)という意味で、「交差方向」と呼ぶ場合があることとする。
作業機モジュール12は、先に説明したように、旋盤モジュールであり、図9に示すように、複数の車輪20を回転可能に保持する可動台としてのベッド22と、そのベッド22上に固定された作業機本体としての旋盤本体24と、旋盤本体24を制御する制御装置としての制御盤26とを備えている。旋盤本体24は、ベッド22に立設された躯体としての支柱30と、支柱30にそれの下部において支持されて自身の回転によってワークW4を回転させるためのスピンドル32(いわゆる主軸である)と、それぞれがツールである複数のバイト34を保持するツール保持ヘッド(以下、端に「ヘッド」と言う場合がある)36と、支柱30にそれの上部において支持されてヘッド36を上下および前後に移動させるヘッド移動装置38とを含んで構成されている。
図13に示すように、各ベースユニット16には、それに載置されるモジュール12の数に応じた数のレール対150が、具体的には、2つのレール対150が、配列方向(左右方向)に並んで設けられている。1つのレール対150は、間隔をおいて交差方向(前後方向)に延びるようにして敷設された1対のレール152からなる。レール152は、モジュール12の引き出しの際のモジュール12が移動する軌道を画定するもの、つまり、軌道画定部材として機能する。一方、各モジュール12には、前後のそれぞれに1対の車輪20が、つまり、2対の車輪20が、回転可能にベッド22に保持されている。1対の車輪20の間隔は、レール対150を構成する1対のレール152の間隔と等しく、1対の車輪20の一方が1対のレール152を、他方が他方を転動する。ベース10全体では、4つのモジュール12に対応して4つのレール対150が、設けられている。そのような構造により、モジュール12は、ベース10から、詳しくは、自身が載置されているベースユニット16から、容易に、交差方向に引き出すことが可能とされているのである。なお、1対のレール152と1対の車輪20との係合を示す図14(a)を参照して説明すれば、一対のレール対150を構成する2つのレール152の一方(右側のもの)は、山形の断面形状を有するのに対し、他方(左側のもの)は、互いに平行な両側面を有する形状とされている。1対の車輪20のうちの一方(左側のもの)が、上記両側面を殆ど隙間なく挟む形状とされているため、ベース10に載置された際のモジュール12の配列方向における位置が正確に規定される。
本システムでは、モジュール12をベースに固定するためのモジュール固定機構を備えている。モジュール固定機構は、各モジュール12に対して設けられている。また、モジュール固定機構は、モジュール12を、交差方向において設定された複数の位置(以下、「固定位置」と言う場合がある)において、モジュール12をベース10に固定する機能を有している。以下に、このモジュール固定機構の構造および機能について説明する。
モジュール12は、旋盤モジュールであるため、ワークに切削加工を施す際、ワークにクーラント(「切削液」と呼ぶこともできる)をかけつつ切削加工が行われる。また、切削加工において、切削屑(「切粉」と呼ぶこともできる)が発生する。したがって、それれらクーラント,切削屑への対処が必要となる。モジュール12が、上述のボール盤/フライス盤モジュール等の機械加工モジュールである場合も、クーラント,切削屑には、同様の対処が必要となる。以下に、それらクーラント,切削屑に配慮した特別な構成について説明する。
本システムでは、図7に示すように、ベース10の一側面、詳しくは、上述の作業空間が存在する側である前方側の一側面に、ワークを搬送するワーク搬送装置350を備えている。このワーク搬送装置350は、ワークを各モジュール12を渡って搬送するものであり、最も左側(上流側)のモジュール12へのワークの搬入,各モジュール12の間におけるワークの搬送,最も右側(下流側)のモジュール12からのワークの搬出を担っている。図では、左側のベースユニット16の前方側の側面に配置された当該ワーク搬送装置350の部分のみが示されているが、右側のベースユニット16の前方側の側面にも同様の部分(後述する)が存在している。つまり、本システムでは、ワーク搬送装置350は、2つのベースユニット16に対応して、2つの搬送装置ユニット352によって構成され、2つのベースユニット16の各々は、ワーク搬送装置350の一部分である1つの搬送装置ユニット352を組み込んでモジュール化(ユニット)されているのである。なお、以下、左側のベースユニット16,左側のベースユニット16のそれぞれに配設されている搬送装置ユニット352を、それぞれ、左側搬送装置ユニット352L,右側搬送装置ユニット352Rと呼び分ける場合があることとする。そして、さらに、ワーク搬送装置350には、後に説明するワーク反転装置354が配設されている。
請求可能発明に係るシステムでは、モジュールのベース上の配置に関して、「配置領域」という概念を採用している。配置領域Rとは、図30に示すように、ベースB上に区画設定された仮想空間であり、モジュールMが配置される空間を規定するための単位空間と考えることができる。図30から解るように、配置領域Rは、間隔を置かずに、互いが接するようにして配列方向に並んでいる。それぞれの配置領域Rの幅を、領域幅WRと呼べば、各配置領域Rの領域幅WRは、互いに等しくされている。
