Horizontal machine tool

Abstract

A horizontal machine tool includes a B-axis rotary assembly (1), the B-axis rotary assembly (1) has a machining surface (2) and a tool magazine surface (3) oriented in different directions, the machining surface (2) and the tool magazine surface (3) are both parallel to a B-axis and configured to rotate simultaneously about the B-axis, a tool magazine (4) is provided on the tool magazine surface (3), an axis of a tool within the tool magazine (4) is perpendicular to the tool magazine surface (3), the machining surface (2) is provided with a worktable (5), and a rotational axis of the worktable (5) is perpendicular to the machining surface (2). The worktable (5) and the tool magazine (4) share the B-axis for rotation. This design results in a compact machine configuration, which effectively reduces the installation space required for the equipment. The worktable (5) and the tool magazine (4) do not require separately provided drive devices, which, on one hand, saves the installation space for the drive devices, and on the other hand, avoids the possibility of motion interference that may occur when separate drive devices are provided. By sharing the B-axis, the worktable (5) and the tool magazine (4) can be driven to rotate simultaneously, which improves the convenience of controlling the worktable and the tool magazine, reduces manufacturing costs and operating costs, and enhances the workpiece machining efficiency.
