Manufacturing cell comprising a tool carrier

A manufacturing cell (10), comprising:

• a machine tool (61) that has
• a machine bed (64),
• a first workpiece path (11) oriented in a longitudinal direction (5),
• a second workpiece path (12) oriented in the longitudinal direction (5) adjacent to the first workpiece path (11),
• a first tool unit (101),
• a second tool unit (102),
• a third tool unit (103), and
• a tool carrier (91) carrying the first tool unit (101), the second tool unit (102), and the third tool unit (103);
• a first workpiece carriage (114) and a second workpiece carriage (115) that can each be longitudinally displaced along the machine tool in the first workpiece path (11);
• a third workpiece carriage (116) and a fourth workpiece carriage (117) that can each be longitudinally displaced along the machine tool (61) in the second workpiece path (12);
• wherein the first tool unit (101) can be transversely and vertically displaced relative to the machine bed (64),
• wherein the second tool unit (102) can be transversely and vertically displaced relative to the machine bed (64),
• wherein the third tool unit (103) can be transversely and vertically displaced relative to the machine bed (64),
• wherein the tool carrier (91) overhangs or projects beyond the first workpiece path (11) and the second workpiece path (12),
• wherein the third tool unit (103) can be used to machine a workpiece on the first workpiece path (11) and to machine a workpiece on a second workpiece path (12),
• wherein the first workpiece path (11) has a first workpiece supply region (22),
• wherein the second workpiece path (12) has a second workpiece supply region (23),
• wherein the first workpiece carriage (114) and the second workpiece carriage (115) can be displaced along the first workpiece supply region (22),
• wherein the third workpiece carriage (116) and the fourth workpiece carriage (117) can be displaced along the second workpiece supply region (23),
• wherein a lowerable transverse thrust device (41)
• is arranged below the first and second workpiece supply regions (22, 23) and
• is configured to move the workpiece that is on the first workpiece path in the transverse direction toward the first workpiece carriage (114) and the second workpiece carriage (115) and
• is configured to move the workpiece that is on the second workpiece path in the transverse direction toward the third workpiece carriage (116) and the fourth workpiece carriage (117),
• wherein the first workpiece supply region (22) has at least one first stop device (52) in the first workpiece path (11), and
• wherein the second workpiece supply region (23) has at least one second stop device (53) in the second workpiece path (12).
