Abstract:
A machine tool system for machining a workpiece by moving a tool mounted on a spindle and the workpiece mounted on a table included in the machine tool system relative to each other in three directions along an X-axis, a Y-axis and Z-axis, said machine tool system comprising:a spindle head for rotatably supporting the spindle; a column for movably supporting the spindle head; a tool mounting means for detachably mounting the tool on the spindle; a machining liquid supply means including a machining liquid nozzle for spouting a machining liquid toward a machining area where the tool engages with the workpiece, and connected by piping to a machining liquid source; a cylindrical supporting means disposed in an area surrounding the circumference of the spindle for movably supporting the machining liquid nozzle of the machining liquid supply means; a radial moving means for positioning, in a radial direction of the tool, the machining liquid nozzle of the machining liquid supply means supported on the cylindrical supporting means, by linearly moving or turning the machining liquid nozzle with respect to the tool; and a circumferential moving means for positioning the machining liquid nozzle of the machining liquid supply means over the entire circumference of the tool by rotating the cylindrical supporting means.
