Abstract
The invention relates to a machine tool guide carriage assembly, comprising a first linear guide track having at least two first parallel guide rails, wherein a first carriage is mounted on the guide track in a linearly displaceable manner, which carriage surrounds a free space in which a second carriage can be linearly displaced at a right angle to the first guide track, wherein the free space is formed by two bearing elements that are arranged at a distance from each other.

A machine tool guide carriage assembly, comprising a first linear guide track having at least two first parallel guide rails, wherein a first carriage is mounted on the guide track in a linearly displaceable manner, wherein the first carriage surrounds a free space in which a second carriage can be linearly displaced at a right angle to the first guide track, wherein the free space is formed by two bearing elements that are arranged at a distance from each other.
A machine tool guide carriage assembly comprising:
- a first set of at least two substantially parallel guide rails, the first set of rails define a first axis;
- a carriage movably mounted to the first set of rails through at least one bearing element, the at least one bearing element being slidable along the first set of rails along the first axis;
- the carriage and the at least one bearing element forming an opening, the opening defines a second axis, the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis;
- a linear guide track receivable in the opening, the linear guide track being slidable along the second axis;
- and
- a tool spindle supported on an end of the linear guide track such that the tool is movable along the first axis and the second axis.
A machine tool guide carriage assembly comprising:
- a first set of substantially parallel guide rails, the first set of rails defining a first axis;
- a carriage movably mounted to the first set of rails through a first bearing element and a second bearing element, the first bearing element and the second bearing element separated by a distance along the first axis, each of the first bearing element and the second bearing element having a first surface along the first axis, each of the first surfaces mounting to the first set of guide rails such that each carriage is slidable along the first set of rails along the first axis;
- the carriage, the first bearing element, and the second bearing element forming a substantially rectangular opening, the opening defining a second axis, the second axis being substantially perpendicular to the first axis;
- the first bearing element and the second bearing element each having a second surface along the second axis, each second surface comprising two function surfaces;
- a linear guide track receivable in the opening, the linear guide track having a second set of substantially parallel rails, the second set of rails supported by the first bearing element second surface and the second bearing element second surface such that the linear guide track is slidable along the second axis;
- and
- a rotatable sleeve shaped tool spindle supported on an end of the linear guide track such that the tool is movable along the first axis and the second axis.
