Abstract
The device and the corresponding method according to the invention relate in particular to a CNC machine tool and a machining method preferably for large machining patterns. The CNC machine tool may comprise a machining head 2 which may be connected to a Z-axis 1 such that it can be manually and/or automatically changed, and which may have at least two tool spindles 3 for receiving tools 4. The Z-axis 1 can be moved in a linear manner at least along two linear axial directions. The Z-axis 1 and/or the machining head 2 may have at least one axis of rotation.

A CNC machine tool comprising:
- a machining head connected to a Z-axis such that it is manually and/or automatically changeable and including at least two tool spindles for receiving tools, said Z-axis being displaceable at least along two linear axial directions, and said Z-axis and/or said machining head having at least one axis of rotation, wherein:
- said CNC machine tool is configured such that machining patterns, in particular drilling patterns, are processable in that said machining head is movable to a position of said machining pattern by linearly displacing said Z-axis along at least one of said linear axial directions, and
- said tools of said machining head are alignable with a contour of said machining pattern by rotating said machining head and/or said Z-axis.
A method for multi-spindled production of linear and/or circularly arranged machining patterns, the method comprising:
- providing a machine tool comprising:
- a machining head connected to a Z-axis such that it is manually and/or automatically changeable and including at least two tool spindles for receiving tools, said Z-axis being displaceable at least along two linear axial directions, and said Z-axis and/or said machining head having at least one axis of rotation, wherein:
- said CNC machine tool is configured such that machining patterns, in particular drilling patterns, are processable in that said machining head is movable to a position of said machining pattern by linearly displacing said Z-axis along at least one of said linear axial directions, and
- said tools of said machining head are alignable with a contour of said machining pattern by rotating said machining head and/or said Z-axis;
- moving to a position on said machining pattern with said machining head by means of a linear displacement of said Z-axis along one or more linear axial directions;
- and
- arranging said tools of said machining head along a contour line of said machining pattern, in particular the outer diameter of the hole circle, by rotating said machining head and/or said Z-axis.
