Abstract
A machine tool with work transferring mechanism provided with a work transferring mechanism which transfers a work and receives/delivers the work from/to a main spindle. In the front-rear direction, the space inside the machine tool is divided via a shutter into a machining space in which the main spindle is arranged and a transferring space in which the work transferring mechanism transfers the work. The work transferring mechanism is equipped with a work retainer retaining the work and a moving mechanism moving the work retainer. While the work attached to the main spindle is machined, the work retainer is preliminarily moved by the moving mechanism to a vicinity of the main spindle via the shutter.
Claims4
A machine tool with work transferring mechanism, comprising a work transferring mechanism that transfers a work and receives/delivers the work from/to a main spindle,
- wherein in a front-rear direction, a space inside the machine tool is divided by a shutter into a machining space in which the main spindle is arranged so that a direction of an axis of the main spindle is parallel to the front-rear direction and a transferring space in which the work transferring mechanism transfers the work;
- the work transferring mechanism is equipped with a work retainer retaining the work, and a moving mechanism moving the work retainer;
- while the work attached to the main spindle is being machined, the work retainer is preliminarily moved in an up-down direction by the moving mechanism to a position where the work retainer faces a front surface of the main spindle next to the shutter, and
- after the work attached to the main spindle is machined, the work retainer receives the work by one movement of the work retainer in the front-rear direction.
