Abstract

See full text

A normal-line detection device is provided with: four or more non-contacting distance sensors for measuring the distance to a processing surface of a work piece, the non-contacting distance sensors being arranged on the periphery of a drill body, in an arrangement plane orthogonal to an axis line of the drill body, and a distance measurement axis of each non-contacting distance sensor and the axis line intersecting; and a PC for calculating an approximation surface of a processing surface on the basis of measurement values from the non-contacting distance sensors and the angle of the non-contacting distance sensors with respect to the axis line, and determining the normal-line of the approximation surface as the normal-line of the processing surface.
