Abstract
A machine tool for the cutting process of work pieces and having at least one horizontally lodged work spindle, preferably for high speed and/or high precision processing. The work spindle displaces on and/or inside a frame-like tool carrier vertically placed on a machine support having slides moving along x-, y- and z-axes. According to the invention, the frame-like tool carrier (3) has an associated frame-like work piece holder (2), which is also placed vertically on the machine support (1). The work piece holder (2) and the tool carrier (3) are interconnected as one single stable unit by one or several connecting elements (8) in the area of their upper horizontal traverse (4, 6).
Claims15
A tool for cutting of a workpiece, the tool comprising:
- a support;
- a tool carrier mounted on said support;
- a work spindle connected to said tool carrier;
- a plurality of slides movably connecting said work spindle to said tool carrier in a plurality of substantially orthogonal directions;
- a workpiece holder mounted on said support;
