Abstract
A lathe is provided which includes at least one workpiece spindle which is rotatable about a spindle axis. The lathe includes two tool carrier systems each comprising a slide system having at least a Z slide and a X slide and further comprising a tool carrier. The tool carrier system is movable relative to the machine frame in a Z direction parallel to the spindle axis. Each of the tool carrier systems is guided independently of the other respective tool carrier system with its own Z slide in the Z direction on the machine frame. The tool carrier systems are arranged on the same side of the spindle axis and each tool carrier system is movable in the Z direction on a path extending towards the other tool carrier system. Each slide system has a guide plane for the X slide defined by a X guide.
Claims27
Lathe comprising:
- a machine frame,
- at least one workpiece spindle, arranged on the machine frame and rotatable about a spindle axis,
- two tool carrier systems each comprising a slide system having at least a Z slide and a X slide and further comprising a tool carrier having a tool carrier head for several tools, said tool carrier system being movable relative to the machine frame in a Z direction parallel to the spindle axis, each of said tool carrier systems being guided independently of the other respective tool carrier system with its own Z slide in the Z direction on the machine frame,
- the tool carrier systems being arranged on the same side of the spindle axis and each tool carrier system being thereby movable in the Z direction on a path extending towards the other tool carrier system,
- each slide system having a guide plane for said X slide, said guide plane being defined by a X guide of said X slide and extending transversely to said spindle axis, each tool carrier system having the tool carrier head adapted to be positioned in a first position in relation to the respective slide system wherein said tool carrier head represents the structural component of the respective tool carrier system located closest to the other tool carrier system.
Lathe comprising:
- a machine frame,
- at least one workpiece spindle arranged on the machine frame and rotatable about a spindle axis,
- two tool carrier systems movable relative to the machine frame in a Z direction parallel to the spindle axis and comprising tool carriers for several tools, each of said tool carrier systems being guided independently of the other respective tool carrier system so as to be movable with its own slide system in the Z direction on the machine frame,
- the tool carrier systems being arranged on the same side of the spindle axis and each tool carrier system being thereby movable in the Z direction on a path extending towards the other tool carrier system, each slide system having an X slide guided on the Z slide by a X guide, said X guide being arranged in a guide plane facing the respectively other tool carrier system.
Lathe comprising a machine frame,
- at least one workpiece spindle arranged on the machine frame and rotatable about a spindle axis,
- two tool carrier systems each comprising a slide system having at least a Z-slide and a X-slide and further comprising a tool carrier head for several tools, said tool carrier system being movable relative to the machine frame in a Z-direction parallel to the spindle axis, each of said tool carrier systems being guided independently of the other respective tool carrier system so as to be movable with its own Z-slide in the Z-direction on the machine frame,
- the tool carrier systems being arranged on the same side of the spindle axis and each tool carrier system being thereby movable in the Z-direction on a path extending towards the other tool carrier system, each slide system having a guide plane for said X-slide, said guide plane being determined by a X-guide of said X-slide and extending transversely to said spindle axis, each slide system having said X-slide guided on said Z-slide and arranged on a side of said Z-slide facing the other tool carrier system.
