Machine tool for multiple surface machining

A machine tool for multiple surface machining of a workpiece in which machining can be performed on a plurality of surfaces of the workpiece from a plurality of directions, comprising:

• a workpiece supporting device provided on a first base and having a workpiece supporting portion which is freely rotatable and freely adjustable in a vertical direction;
• said workpiece supporting portion being adapted to be indexed to a desired rotary angle;
• a slide base freely adjustably movable on said first base in a horizontal direction towards and away from said workpiece supporting device;
• a tool supporting table provided on said slide base, said tool supporting table being freely adjustably movable in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the direction of movement of the slide base;
• a plurality of vertical surface machining devices mounted on said tool supporting table to perform vertical surface machining on a workpiece that is supported by said work supporting portion;
• wherein said plurality of vertical surface machining devices are arranged in a multiple of rows in the direction of movement of the slide base and the direction of movement of the tool supporting table, respectively;
• a plurality of horizontal machining devices mounted on said tool supporting table and disposed on opposite sides of the workpiece to perform machining on the workpiece from the horizontal direction;
• wherein the plurality of horizontal machining devices mounted on said tool supporting table are arranged in the direction of movement of the slide base;
• wherein a predetermined number of vertical machining devices and horizontal machining devices are arranged within a same plane;
• and
• further comprising a numerical control device mounted integrally with said machine tool for full automatic control of the machine tool for multiple surface machining.
