Abstract
Various embodiments relate to a machine tool, in particular for the robot-assisted machining of workpieces. The machine tool comprises a drive and a first shaft with a mounting point for a first tool and a second shaft with a mounting point for a second tool. The drive is coupled to the first shaft directly or indirectly via a first freewheel coupling and to the second shaft directly or indirectly via a second freewheel coupling such that the drive drives the first or second shaft on the basis of the rotational direction. The invention additionally relates to a corresponding method for the robot-assisted machining of a workpiece using machine tool.

1-14. (canceled)
A machine tool, comprising:
- a support;
- a first shaft mounted on the support and comprising a holder for a first tool;
- a second shaft mounted on the support and comprising a holder for a second tool;
- and
- a first drive shaft directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to the first shaft by a first freewheeling clutch and directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to the second shaft by a second freewheeling clutch.
A machine tool, comprising:
- a drive;
- and
- a first shaft having a mounting place for a first tool and a second shaft having a mounting place for a second tool,
- wherein the drive is directly or indirectly coupled to the first shaft by a first freewheeling clutch and to the second shaft by a second freewheeling clutch such that the drive is configured to drive either the first or the second shaft, depending on a direction of rotation.
A method for robot-supported machining of a workpiece using a machine tool that includes a support, a first shaft mounted on the support and comprising a holder for a first tool, a second shaft mounted on the support and comprising a holder for a second tool, and a first drive shaft directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to the first shaft by a first freewheeling clutch and directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to the second shaft by a second freewheeling clutch, the method comprising:
- machining the workpiece using a first rotating tool which is mounted on the first shaft;
- turning the machine tool and changing a direction of rotation of the drive and/or of the first drive shaft;
- and
- machining the workpiece using a second rotating tool which is mounted on the second shaft.
