Abstract
The tool support comprises a basic structure (8) on which a slide (5) is movable in a controlled manner transversely to the spindle axis (7), two tool holders (6) being mounted on said slide which are displaceable parallel to each other and serving to hold different tools (9,9′), said holders (6,6′) being selectively displaceable in the direction of the spindle axis (7) or away from that axis through an angle of 90° with respect to the direction of movement of the slide (5), and further comprising driving means (1,2,3,3′) to displace the slide (5) and the tool holders (6,6′) along their axis of movement (Y,Z) into a predetermined working position.
Claims12
A tool support provided for machining a work piece on the working spindle of a lathe, characterized by
- a basic structure;
- a slide mounted on that basic structure which is displaceable in a controlled manner transversly to the spindle axis along an axis (Y);
- two tool holders mounted parallely to each other on that slide for holding different tools, that holders being displaceable in an angle 90° with respect to the direction of movement of the slide individually or selectively with respect to the spindle axis along an axis (X) into the working position and out of this working position and out of this working position respectively, and
- driving means for displacing the slide and the tool holders sequentially or simultaneously along their axis of movement (Y resp. X) into a predetermined working position.
