Abstract
A machining center having a bed that supports a work table, a carriage movable along the bed, an upright column moveable across the carriage, a machining head movable vertically on the upright column and a tool magazine with a tool changer. The bed is designed as an inclined bed with a downward slope toward the rear and the work table is mounted on the front side of bed by means of a suitable console.
Claims29
A machining center comprising:
- a bed adapted to be supported on a foundation;
- a substantially continuous inclined surface sloping downwardly to the rear on said bed, said inclined surface providing means for conducting a lubricant material toward the rear on said bed;
- a carriage mounted on said inclined surface for longitudinal movement thereon;
- an upright column mounted on said carriage for lateral movement thereon;
- a machining head mounted to said column for vertical movement thereon;
- and
- a work table mounted to the front of said bed for cooperative operation on a workpiece on said wok table by said machining head.
