Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to, for example, a work machine used for processing a light guide plate forming mold, and in particular, it is suitable for starting from a little by little for each tilt angle. Process of Changing Creep Groove Processing [Prior Art] FIG. 7 is a view showing a shape of a lens groove extending in the shape of a lens groove of a light guide plate forming mold as a workpiece to which the creep groove processing is applied. The angle of the grooves Lr to L4 gradually becomes a large angle like the mirror groove in FIG. 7. In Fig. 7, reference numeral 100 indicates a cutting tool. Conventional work machines for creep groove processing have a cutting tool rotary table for changing the angle of the tip of the tool 100. Figures 5 and 6 show examples of cutting tools of conventional working machines. For a working machine equipped with a cutting tool rotary table, the linear axis that moves horizontally in the left-right direction is the Y axis, the linear axis that moves horizontally before and after the saddle is the X axis, and the linear axis of the tool post is the Z axis. These are common structures. When the cutting tool rotary table of FIG. 5 is described, the cutting table 1 10 is mounted on the lower end portion of the tool post 1 1 1 to form a tool 10. The rotation axis 1 1 4 is an axis parallel to the X axis. The number 5 is a servo motor that drives the Chess | j stage Π 0 with the rotation axis n 4 as the rotation center. Such as ultra-precision grooved machinery. Example of W,. The left side of each plane penetrates such a variable cutting tool rotating table to move the cutting tool up and down on the seat of the saddle. One cutting A axis, and the cutting tool rotates (2) 1241931. When the working machine of the cutting tool rotating table 1 1 0 is used to process the lens grooves L 1 to L 4 on a workpiece W planer that is a mold for forming a light guide plate, as shown in FIG. 7, the cutting tool 1 0 0 is cut. The blade edge portion 101 is matched with an angle φ and the cutting tool 100 is lowered in the direction of the Z axis in an inclined state, and is positioned at a predetermined position, and the face f is processed by moving the X axis of the platform forward and backward. Next, the processing of the face f is continued, and the following operations are required to process the face r. That is, the cutting edge 100 of the cutting tool 100 is fitted to the inclination of the face r by causing the cutting tool 100 to escape from the workpiece W and rotating the cutting tool rotary table 1 10 (shown by a dotted line in FIG. 7). ). However, the Y-axis position of the tip A of the cutting tool ί 0 0 is greatly deviated from the vertex of the bottom of the lens groove by the rotation of the cutting tool rotating table 1 1 0. Therefore, the cutting tool 1 has to be moved to perform the Y-axis movement. The blade point of 00 is fitted to the vertex of the valley bottom of the lens groove. Then, the cutting tool 100 is lowered in the Z-axis direction and positioned at a predetermined position, and the surface r is processed by the X-axis movement of the platform back and forth, and the creep groove in the V-shaped groove shape as described above is processed. In order to achieve good machinability during machining, a cutting device that works on the tool is proposed (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002- 3 468 1 9). However, when the angle of the cutting tool 1 0 0 is changed Although the cutting tool 100 is rotated with the rotation axis 1 1 4 as the center, when the rotation radius R of the tip of the cutting tool 100 is large, it is greatly affected by the indexing accuracy, and the tip (3) 1241931 part A Due to the influence of the positioning accuracy of the Y-axis and Z-axis, the position of the cutting edge of the cutting tool 100 deviates from the vertex of the bottom of the target lens groove. As a result, there is a so-called This causes problems such as poor groove pitch or poor depth of the lens groove. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, and in the case where a lens groove is creep-processed on a light guide plate forming mold, a position of a tip portion manufactured by a cutting tool is provided. It is a working machine that can change the angle of the cutting tool with a slight movement, and can perform high-precision creep processing. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a saddle that can be moved in a left-right direction on a bed, a platform provided on the saddle that can be moved in a forward-backward direction, and a workpiece, and installed on the bed. A turret that can be moved in a vertical direction and is provided on the turret and a lower end portion of the turret that is installed at the lower end of the turret and has a rotating shaft that is a rotation center of the cutting tool and is inclined relative to the axis of the rotation shaft The oblique axis head of which the position of the cutting edge of the cutting tool is located at the same axis or a position deviated below is the characteristic. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the oblique shaft head is provided with a rotation shaft rotatably supported by a bearing and having an axis inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, and inclined from the axis of the rotation shaft toward the axial direction. An extended extension shaft, a cutting tool support bracket attached to the front end of the extension shaft, holding the cutting tool, and rotating the rotation shaft, and rotating the cutting tool by a rotation angle of 6- (4) 1241931 Indexing department.

The inclined shaft head is used. Department 2 〇 And in the cutting tool! The rotation center is set near the blade of 〇 〇, and the angle of the cutting tool 100 is changed by a slight movement of the tip position. Yes' In Fig. 3, the oblique axis head 2 is shown. In this third figure, the axis of the rotating shaft 44 is designated. In addition, reference numeral 52 indicates a horizontal plane (the platform α is the axis 50 of the inclined axis sandwiched between the axis 50 of the rotation axis 44 and the platform surface 52. The axis 邰 20 is held by the bracket 4 2 as the axis of the rotation axis 44. The platform surface 52 is sandwiched at an inclination angle α and is firmly supported by the support member. In the inclined shaft head 20 of this embodiment, the inclination angle α of the rotation axis 50 is set to 丨 0. The degree α of the rotating shaft 44 is to reduce the inclination angle (rakea η g 1 e) of the cutting tool 100, although the smaller the better, it is preferably within 30. The shaft head 20 is the head. Main body 4 5. Rotating shaft 4 4. Extension shaft 4 6. Cutting tool support 4 for cutting tool 1 00. Rotary indexing section 4 8 for indexing the rotation angle of cutting tool 丨 〇 (6) 1241931 In addition, the head body 45 is chamfered as much as possible to interfere with the platform surface 52 to produce a small inclination angle α. In addition, the platform surface 52 side of the extension shaft 4 6 is A chamfer that does not interfere with the table surface 52 even if the cutting tool is rotated by 100 is performed. The front end of the rotation shaft 44 is engaged with The base end of the extension shaft 46 which is inclined and extended with the axis 50 is extended to the front end side substantially parallel (horizontally) to the platform surface 52. Then, the front end of the extension shaft 46 is attached Cutting tool support frame 47. This cutting tool support frame 47 holds the cutting tool 100 in a vertical posture. In such an extended shaft 4 and 6, the rigidity of the inclined shaft head 20 is a highly rigid structure because the rigidity can be maintained. As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting edge portion A of the cutting tool 100 is not located on the axis 50 of the rotating shaft 44 in the present embodiment, and is located further below the axis 50. That is, In the implementation mode, the rotation center of the cutting tool 100 is located at the cutting tool support 4 ° side of the cutting edge portion A, and the cutting edge portion A is set to protrude downward from the rotation center by about 20 mm. However, since the shaft 46 is extended, the tip A of the cutting tool 100 can also be positioned on the axis 50 of the rotating shaft 44. In the case of the creep groove processing of the light guide plate forming mold, the cutting tool 100 The length of the blade tip extending from the axis 50 is preferably in the range of 0 to 30 planes. The rotation indexing unit 48 is driven by a servo motor 54. Then, position feedback is obtained by a rotary encoder 56, and the rotation of the servo motor 54 is controlled to achieve an accuracy of 1 / 100,000 degree It becomes the rotation angle of the indexable rotation axis 44. The control axis of such a rotation indexing section 48 is the A axis. In addition, in the head body 45, in order to make it correspond to the index accuracy of the A axis Therefore, an air bearing 5 8 is installed as a bearing that can rotatably support (7) 1241931 and hold the rotating shaft 4 4. The working machine of this embodiment is constituted as described above. Next, as a processing example of the working machine constituted as described above, the creep groove processing for cutting the lens groove on the light guide plate forming mold is exemplified. Fig. 4 (a) to Fig. 4 (c) are diagrams showing the operation of the cutting tool 100 in the creep groove processing in order. In the workpiece W, the angles of the lens grooves arranged side by side in parallel are gradually larger angles. In each lens groove, the inclination angles of the inclined surfaces on both sides are equal. In this embodiment, the following lens grooves are processed. As a preparation before machining, the cutting head 100 attached to the cutting / tool support 47 is attached to the head 20 of the oblique shaft. As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting edge portion A extends from the axis 50 of the rotation shaft 44. Draw about 20 circles and fit the length you decided. In Fig. 1, a workpiece W to be cut into a lens groove is fixed to a stage 22 by a vacuum chuck 23. First, the Y axis of the saddle 16 is moved to move the oblique axis head 20 to the machining position. As shown in Fig. 4 (a) by a two-point chain line, the Y-axis position of the cutting tool 100 is matched with the bottom vertex position of the face Π of the lens groove. Then, the rotary indexing section 48 is driven by the B-axis servo motor 54 to rotate the rotary shaft 44, and the angle of the cutting edge section 101 of the cutting tool 100 is equal to the inclination angle φ 1 of the surface section Π. In this way, since the angle of the cutting edge portion 101 of the cutting tool 100 is matched with the inclination angle φ 1 of the face f 1, the cutting tool 100 is lowered by the Z-axis movement and reaches a predetermined position. At this time, the stage 22 is moved toward the X axis, and m -10- (8) 1241931 rotates the cutting edge 10 1 of the cutting tool 1 00 to the workpiece W to create a face f 1. At the time when the face π was created, the cutting edge A of the cutting tool 100 was located at the bottom vertex of the lens groove. On the other hand, the center of rotation of the cutting tool 1 00 at the oblique axis head 20 'is at the point B of the tip of the cutting tool 1 00 in Fig. 4. Therefore, the cutting tool 100 is not rotatable because the tip A is fitted to the vertex of the valley bottom of the lens groove. Therefore, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 4 (b), it is moved toward the z axis. To escape the tip of the cutting tool 100 from the lens groove. Then, in order to process the face r 1 immediately after the face Π, the cutting tool 100 is rotated to the rotation center B by B-axis rotation, and is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 4 (b), and the cutting tool 1 can be rotated. The cutting edge 10 2 fits the inclination angle of the face r 1 (shown as a two-dot chain line in Fig. 4 (b)). At this time, the position on the Y axis of the cutting edge portion A of the cutting tool 100 is shifted from the vertex of the bottom of the lens groove only by ΔY. Therefore, as shown by the two-point chain line in FIG. 4 (c), by moving the Y-axis to move the cutting tool 100 by only AY, the Y-axis of the tip A of the cutting tool 100 can be moved. The upper position is fitted to the bottom vertex of the lens groove. Next, in FIG. 4 (c), the cutting tool is lowered by moving the Z axis, and when the predetermined position is reached, the table 22 is moved toward the X axis, and the cutting edge of the cutting tool 100 can be moved. 1 0 2 Turns to the workpiece W to create the face r 1 〇 In this way, if the processing of a lens groove is completed, the cutting tool 1 0 is escaped from the lens groove by Z-axis movement 'and the cutting is performed by Y-axis movement Knife-11-(9) 1241931 With 1 00 moved to the position of the lens groove of the side face f2. Then, since the position on the Y axis of the tip A of the cutting tool 100 is matched with the bottom vertex of the lens groove, the angle of the cutting edge portion 1 0 1 of the cutting tool 100 is rotated by the B axis. In accordance with the inclination angle φ 2 of the face f2, the face f2 and the face r 2 can be continuously processed by repeating the same operation as in the case of the original lens groove. Here, for convenience of explanation, it is explained that the cutting tool 100 is evacuated in the Z-axis direction. However, in actual processing, the cutting tool 100 is evacuated from the workpiece W to a position in the X-axis direction. It is not necessary to escape in the direction of the Z axis. As described above, according to the oblique shaft head 20 having a structure in which the cutting edge A of the cutting tool 100 is offset relative to the axis 50 of the rotation axis 44, only the Y-axis movement and the B-axis The rotation can match the angle of the cutting blade 100 to the face f and the face r. Among them, when the γ-axis movement is compared with the conventional tool post rotation mechanism shown in FIG. 5, the case of a normal tool post is 100 ° even with a short cutting tool. On the other hand, according to the oblique shaft head 20 of this embodiment, the rotation center is set at the front end portion of the cutting tool 100, so the rotation radius does not exceed the front end portion protruding from the axis of the rotation shaft 44. The length is about 〇 orbit. As a result, compared with the tool holder rotation mechanism of FIG. 5, the positional error of the tip portion generated when the cutting tool is rotated does not have a significant effect. In addition, after processing the face f, the amount of y-axis movement when the angle of the cutter with respect to the face r is reduced can be reduced. The extension shaft 46 is inclined from the rotation shaft 44 and can be used as a highly rigid shaft structure. In addition, because the inclined axis head 邰 2 0 is used, the -12- (10) 1241931 rotation position is set at the front end of the cutting tool 1 〇 because the inclined rotation axis 4 4 is used. The inclination angle of the tool 100 is changed, but if the inclination angle α of the rotary shaft 44 is about 10 °, the change in the inclination angle of the cutting tool 1 ο 〇 is not a problem. In addition, the 'inclined rotation axis 4 4 is supported by an air bearing 5 8 and the indexing mechanism 4 8 driven by a servo motor 54 is used as the A axis, and the cutting tool 1 is realized by numerical control. Rotary motion, so you can get high precision indexing accuracy.
