Abstract
A machine for the milling or grinding of toothed racks, having a workspace, in which a machining head carrying milling and/or grinding tools is movably arranged is provided. The machine further has a first preparation area arranged on a first side of the workspace, which has a first workpiece table reversibly movable from the first preparation area into the workspace, and which for its part has first positioning means for workpieces. The machine has a second preparation area, which is arranged on a second side of the workspace, and has a second workpiece table which can be reversibly moved from the second preparation area into the workspace, and which for its part has second positioning means for workpieces. A corresponding method is also provided.

A machine for the milling or grinding of toothed racks, having a workspace in which a machining head carrying milling and/or grinding tools is movably arranged, further having a first preparation area arranged on a first side of the workspace, which has a first workpiece table which can be reversibly moved out of the first preparation area into the workspace, and which for its part has first positioning means for workpieces, wherein the machine has a second preparation area arranged on a second side of the workspace, which second preparation area has a second workpiece table, which can be reversibly moved out of the second preparation area into the workspace, and which for its part has second positioning means for workpieces.
A method for the milling or grinding of toothed racks, in which
- in a step a), a machining head carrying milling or grinding tools is machining workpieces located within its radius of action and arranged on a first workpiece table, while previously machined workpieces are being unloaded from a second workpiece table outside the radius of action of the machining head, or the second workpiece table is being cleaned, or is being loaded with unmachined workpieces, and in which
- in a step b), the first workpiece table is moved out of the radius of action of the machining head, after the machining of the workpieces arranged on it has been completed, and the second workpiece table loaded with workpieces to be machined is moved into the radius of action of the machining head.
