Abstract
A workpiece machining system including a setting-up module and a machining module for producing workpieces. The setting-up module includes at least one first tool-holder attachment device for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one first workpiece-carrier attachment device for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier. The machining module includes at least one second tool-holder attachment device for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one second workpiece-carrier attachment device—for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier, such that the tool-holder and the workpiece-carrier—can both be transferred after setting up from the setting-up module to the machining module.
Claims14
A workpiece machining system comprising a setting-up module and a machining module for producing workpieces,
- the setting-up module comprising:
- at least one first tool-holder attachment device configured for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one first workpiece-carrier attachment device configured for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier, said machining module comprising:
- at least one second tool-holder attachment device configured for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one second workpiece-carrier attachment device configured for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier,
- wherein
- said setting-up module further comprises a first positioning control device configured for controlling the positioning of said at least one tool-holder relative to said workpiece-carrier,
- said machining module further comprises a second positioning control device adapted to check the positioning of said at least one tool-holder relative to said workpiece-carrier,
- such that the tool-holder and the workpiece-carrier can both be transferred after setting up from the setting-up module to the machining module, the second positioning control device thus making it possible to ensure on said machining module that the positioning between said at least one tool-holder and said workpiece-carrier is identical to that applied between said at least one tool-holder and said workpiece-carrier during setting up on the setting-up module.
