<p>[PROBLEMS] An angular indexing device for a machine tool, in which damage to a cable is prevented as much as possible and in which arrangement of cables for a motor does not involve an increase in the outer diameter of a component incorporating the motor. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The angular indexing device for a machine tool has a rotating shaft (40) to which a member (11) to be rotated is fixed, a housing (30) surrounding the outer periphery of the rotating shaft (40) and attached to and detached from a machine tool body, bearings (B1, B2) placed between the housing (30) and the rotating shaft (40), and drive means placed between the housing (30) and the rotating shaft (40) and rotating the rotating shaft (40) to index angular positions. Drive motors (M1, M2, M3) are used as the drive means, and the motors (M1, M2, M3) have motor rotors and motor stators arranged in the housing (30) so as to be concentric with the rotating shaft (40). In the housing (30) inside a thick wall portion of its outer tube surrounding the outer periphery of the rotating shaft (40), there are formed wiring holes (H1, H2, H3) running along the direction of the axis of the rotating shaft (40). At least an upstream portion, relative to the cable lead-out direction, of the entire length of each cable (c11, c21, c31) connected to the corresponding drive motor (M1, M2, M3) is inserted through the wiring hole (H1, H2, H3).</p> |
