Abstract
The invention relates to a milling machine comprising a frame (2) including a work surface (2.1) disposed in a vertical plane and a C-shaped moving bridge (3). In addition, the machine comprises: at least three heads (7), each head including a machining spindle (15); and five movement axes (X, Y, Z, A, B), such that the moving bridge (3) is moved by the frame (2) along a horizontal axis (X), and each head (7) is moved independently on the moving bridge (3) along a vertical axis (Y) in order to be moved towards or away from the work surface (2.1) along a depth axis (Z) perpendicular to both the horizontal axis (X) and the vertical axis (Y), as well as rotating independently about a first axis of rotation (A). Each spindle (15) rotates independently about a second axis of rotation (B).
Claims15
A milling machine which comprises:
- a frame (2), which comprises a work surface (2.1) arranged in a vertical plane, and
- a C-shaped moving bridge (3),
- characterised in that it also comprises:
- at least three heads (7), each of which comprises a machining spindle (15), and
- five movement axes (X, Y, Z, A, B) in such a way that:
- the moving bridge (3) is moved along the frame (2) according to a horizontal axis (X),
- each head (7) is independently moved on the moving bridge (3) according to a vertical axis (Y) perpendicular to the horizontal axis(X),
- each head (7) is moved on the moving bridge (3) in order to be moved towards or moved away from the work surface (2.1) according to a depth axis (Z) perpendicular to the horizontal axis (X) and to the vertical axis (Y),
- each head (7) independently performs rotating movements according to a first axis of rotation (A), and
- each machining spindle (15) independently performs rotating movements according to a second axis of rotation (B),
- such that each machining spindle (15) is moved independently according to at least three (Y, A, B) of the five axes (X, Y, Z, A, B).
