CUTTING FLUID SUPPLY SYSTEM TO MACHINE TOOL

摘要

A cutting fluid supply system includes a machine tool, a nozzle for injecting cutting fluid, and a nozzle-moving unit for holding and moving the nozzle. The cutting fluid supply system detects an object existing in the machine tool, recognizes a position and a shape of the object based on the detection information, and specifies a machining point from the recognized information. The nozzle-moving unit moves the nozzle such that cutting fluid is injected to the specified machining point.
