Abstract
Provided is a machining apparatus capable of improving the positioning accuracy of a machining tool as compared to conventional machines. A machining apparatus 1 includes a rotating tool, a machining tool provided on an outer periphery of the rotating tool, and a spindle head adapted to rotatably support the rotating tool. The machining apparatus includes a driving portion configured to move the spindle head in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation R of the rotating tool, a position sensor configured to measure a position of the spindle head on a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation R, and a control unit configured to control the driving portion so as to move the machining tool in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation R of the rotating tool on the basis of the position of the spindle head.

A machining apparatus including a rotating tool, a machining tool provided on an outer periphery of the rotating tool, and a spindle head adapted to rotatably support the rotating tool, comprising:
- a driving portion configured to extend and apply a force to a case of the spindle head to move the spindle head in a direction perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rotating tool;
- a position sensor configured to measure a position of the spindle head on a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the driving portion so as to move the machining tool in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation on the basis of the position of the spindle head.
