Abstract
The invention relates to a machine tool, in particular to cutting machine tools. The inventive machine tool comprises at least two machining modules provided with at least one spindle with a horizontally oriented axis and at least one clamping module having a tooling surface for at least one part which is horizontally oriented and rotatable around a vertical axis. The clamping module includes structure for a rigid coupling thereof to the machining module. One or several clamping modules and/or machining modules are provided with at least one fictive midplane which is parallel with respect to the spindle axis. The machine tool also includes at least one pallet changing module which is connected to the clamping module asymmetrically with respect to the midplane.
Claims10
A machine tool for the machining of workpieces, comprising:
- two machining modules each having at least one spindle with a horizontally oriented spindle axis;
- at least one clamping module with a horizontally oriented clamping surface that is rotatable around a vertical axis and that is intended for at least one workpiece, said clamping module being configured for rigid coupling to said machining modules and said at least one clamping module and each of said machining modules having an imaginary mid-plane parallel to the spindle-axis direction;
- said machining modules being connected to said clamping module so that the spindle axes of the two machining modules are non-parallel;
- and
- at least one turntable pallet changing module, said at least one pallet changing module having a rotation axis being in an off-center position relative to each of the imaginary mid-planes which each extend parallel to the spindle axes, and said at least one pallet changing module being coupled to said clamping module asymmetrically with respect to the mid-planes.
