Abstract
A numerically controlled machining centre is disclosed comprising two workpiece holding tables that are arranged one beside the other and a carriage that is movable on the two tables and carries a first operating unit that is movable according to three machining axes to deposit hardening plasticized material on said tables to form raw workpieces with an additive manufacturing method and a second finishing operating unit having a movable bi-rotative tool-holding head according to three machining axes to remove material from the workpieces formed by the first operating unit.
Claims8
Machining centre comprising:
- at least one framework;
- a supporting arrangement associated with said framework;
- at least one first operating unit that is movable on said framework in one or more working axes, said first operating unit being arranged to deposit hardening plasticized material on said supporting arrangement to form at least one, raw workpiece;
- at least one second operating unit that is movable on said framework in one or more working axes, said second operating unit being arranged to remove hardening plasticized material from said raw workpiece, said supporting arrangement comprising at least two workpiece holding tables that are arranged one beside the other so that they are both reachable by said first operating unit and/or by said second operating unit;
- and
- at least one barrier that is interposed between said two workpiece holding tables to protect raw workpiece that is hardening on one of the two tables while one of forming and finishing of another raw workpiece is occurring on the other of the two tables.
