Abstract
Machine tool and a base for a machine tool comprising a machine bed to support a first work module having a first end effector held thereon, and a second work module having a second end effector held thereon on a base surface in an area between two mutually opposed sides which delimit the machine bed, the sides extending between an underside of the machine bed and an upper side of the machine bed, when viewed in the vertical direction; a first bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the first work module; and a second bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the second work module; wherein the first bearing element and the second bearing element are arranged one above the other, when viewed in the vertical direction.
Claims20
A machine tool comprising:
- a first work module;
- a second work module;
- a machine bed supporting the first and second work modules, the machine bed having a top and a bottom relative to the vertical direction and having two mutually opposed sides extending therebetween, the top and bottom and the two mutually opposed sides defining an interior space of the machine bed;
- a first bearing element attached to the top of the machine bed, the first bearing element configured to support the first work module external to the interior space of the machine bed;
- and
- a second bearing element attached to the machine bed in the interior space thereof, the second bearing element configured to support the second work module below the first work module relative to the vertical direction;
- wherein top of the machine bed separates the first bearing element from the second bearing element.
A machine tool comprising:
- a first work module;
- a second work module;
- a machine bed supporting the first and second work modules, the machine bed having a top and a bottom relative to the vertical direction and having two mutually opposed sides extending therebetween, the top and bottom and the two mutually opposed sides defining an interior space of the machine bed;
- a set of parallel guide rails attached to the top of the machine bed, the guide rails configured to support the first work module external to the interior space of the machine bed and to guide the first work module in a guide direction at an angle relative to the vertical direction;
- a conveyor arranged between the guide rails for conveying a workpiece to be machined to the first work module;
- and
- a support bearing configured to support the second work module in the interior space of the machine bed below the first work module relative to the vertical direction;
- wherein top of the machine bed separates the guide rails from the support bearing.
A machine tool comprising:
- a first work module having a first end effector held thereon;
- a second work module having a second end effector held thereon;
- a machine bed supporting the first work module and second work modules, the machine bed having an underside and an upper side relative to the vertical direction and having two mutually opposed sides extending between the underside and the upper side, the second work module being supported on a base surface in an area between the two mutually opposed sides of the machine bed;
- a first bearing element for holding the first work module, the first bearing element being fixed relative to the machine bed;
- and
- a second bearing element for holding the second work module, the second bearing element being fixed relative to the machine bed;
- wherein the first bearing element is arranged above the second bearing element relative to the vertical direction.
