Abstract
A machine frame, at the top of which is disposed a vertically displaceable workpiece-accommodation spindle with a workpiece chucking device. Disposed on the machine frame are a tool holder, displaceable in a horizontal X1 direction, for a tool and another tool holder, displaceable in a horizontal X2 direction as well as in a vertical Z2 direction, for accommodation of a second tool. Displacing the workpiece accommodation spindle, inclusive of its rotary drive, and the displacement drive of the tool holders is implemented by way of a central control unit.
Claims10
A vertical lathe comprising:
- a machine frame;
- a workpiece accommodation spindle disposed on said machine frame;
- a workpiece chucking device at a bottom end of said spindle for accommodation of a workpiece;
- a spindle drive motor drivable for rotation of said spindle about a vertical axis of rotation that runs in a Z1 direction;
- a Z1 drive motor displaceable of said spindle only in said Z1 direction;
- a first tool holder for accommodation of a first tool;
- an X1 drive motor displaceable of said first tool holder only in a horizontal X1 direction;
- a second tool holder for accommodation of a second tool;
- an X2 drive motor displaceable of said second tool holder in a horizontal X2 direction;
- a Z2 drive motor (20), displaceable of said second tool holder in a vertical Z2 direction;
- and
- a control unit for triggering said spindle drive motor, said Z1 drive motor, said X1 drive motor, said X2 drive motor, and said Z2 drive motor during rotary machining of the workpiece.
