Lathe

Lathe comprising:

• a machine frame,
• a first working spindle held on the machine frame and rotatable about a first spindle axis, said working spindle having a first receiving means for a first workpiece,
• at least one first tool carrier movable in an X direction transversely to the first spindle axis for the machining of the first workpiece,
• a second working spindle rotatable about a second spindle axis, said second working spindle having a second workpiece receiving means for a second workpiece and the second working spindle being adapted to be brought from a coaxial position with the second spindle axis coaxial in relation to the first spindle axis into a non-coaxial position in a transverse direction extending transversely to the X direction and transversely to the first spindle axis, the first and second spindle axes being arranged at a distance from one another in said non-coaxial position,
• and a first front side tool carrier for machining of the first workpiece in a position facing a front side of said first working spindle, said first front side tool carrier being associated with a first working space and being adapted to be moved from an inactive into an active position and vice versa with at least one tool as a result of a movement transversely to the X direction,
• and a second front side tool carrier for machining of the second workpiece in a position facing a front side of said second working spindle, said second front side tool carrier being associated with a second working space and arranged so as to be offset in the transverse direction in relation to the first working space,
• wherein the first tool carrier on the front side and the second working spindle are movable relative to one another in the transverse direction controlled by a machine control.
