Abstract

This laser processing apparatus comprises a laser emission unit, a holding unit, and a control unit. The laser emission unit emits a laser beam in a first direction toward a workpiece. The holding unit is capable of holding a workpiece in a detachable manner in a state of maintaining the orientation of the workpiece, and of moving the workpiece in a direction along the first direction. The control unit controls the operation of the laser emission unit and the holding unit. The laser emission unit has a laser generator, an Fθ lens, and a galvano mirror. The Fθ lens is fixed in an orientation that allows the laser beam to be emitted in the first direction. The control unit alternately performs a laser beam emission step and a movement step for, in a state in which emission of the laser beam toward the workpiece is suspended, moving the holding unit, which is holding the workpiece, in a direction along the first direction.

Abstract

This holder is made of cemented carbide and has a front end surface, a rear end surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, a pressing surface, a first support surface, and a second support surface. The pressing surface presses the upper surface of a cutting insert. The first support surface supports the back surface of the cutting insert. The second support surface supports the bottom surface of the cutting insert. The holder is provided with a slit penetrating between the first side surface and the second side surface. The slit is formed by an upper end surface continuous with the pressing surface and a lower end surface continuous with each of the first support surface and the upper end surface. When viewed in a direction from the first side surface to the second side surface, the distance between the upper end surface and an upper side in a direction perpendicular to a bottom side increases monotonically from the front end surface toward the rear end surface in a range from a first position to a third position.

Abstract

A cutting tool according to the present invention comprises a base material and a diamond layer that covers the base material. The cutting tool has a rake surface and a flank surface. The flank surface is continuous with the rake surface. The ridgeline between the rake surface and the flank surface forms a cutting edge. The diamond layer has a flank surface–covering part. The flank surface–covering part forms the flank surface. The thickness of the flank surface–covering part is 10–25 μm. In a cross-section that is orthogonal to a tangent to the cutting edge, the radius of curvature of the cutting edge is less than the value obtained by multiplying the thickness of the flank surface–covering part by 0.3. The rake surface includes a first portion. The first portion is formed from the flank surface–covering part. The first portion is continuous with the flank surface. The maximum height roughness of the first portion is less than 2 μm.

In the present invention, a first flank face includes a first front flank face part and a first rear flank face part. A second flank face includes a second front flank face part and a second rear flank face part. A ridgeline between the first front flank face part and the first rear flank face part forms a first ridgeline. A ridgeline between the second front flank face part and the second rear flank face part forms a second ridgeline. When viewed in an axial direction, the distance between the first ridgeline and the second ridgeline in a direction perpendicular to the first ridgeline is greater than 0 mm and is equal to or less than 0.03 mm. A ridgeline between a first thinning face and the first flank face and a ridgeline between the first thinning face and the second flank face constitute a first thinning ridgeline. A ridgeline between a second thinning face and the first flank face and a ridgeline between the second thinning face and the second flank face constitute a second thinning ridgeline. When viewed in the axial direction, the shortest distance between the first thinning ridgeline and the second thinning ridgeline in the direction perpendicular to the first ridgeline is 0.04 mm to 0.10 mm.
