Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005113180A1] Disclosed is an apparatus for automatically detecting the position of the cutting tool in the computerized numerically controlled lathe which is capable of preventing over-load operation of a driving motor by allowing an arm having a touch sensor mounted thereto to be safely stop at a position of detecting the cutting tool while the driving motor stops operating. A bearing housing is fixedly mounted to one side of a housing main body fixed to one side of a headstock. A stopper is fixedly mounted to the bearing housing. A touch sensor is mounted to a front end of the arm and is pivoted by means of a gear assembly driven by receiving a driving force from a driving motor. A camshaft is fixedly installed at a radial outer circumferential surface of the arm. When the arm is rotated and reaches at a proper position, the worm and the worm wheel of the gear assembly are rotated until the camshaft is brought into contact with the stopper. The arm is moved toward the cutting tool and the cutting tool is brought into contact with the touch sensor in accordance with a program that is preprogramedly input into the computerized numerically controlled lathe. At this time, the touch sensor generates a sensing signal and provides the control part with it. After reaching at a position for sensing the position of the front end of the cutting tool, the arm can be fixed at this position due to the operation of an elastic member while the driving motor stops operating.
