Abstract
The tool support comprises a basic structure (8) on which a slide (5) is movable in a controlled manner transversely to the spindle axis (7), two tool holders (6) being mounted on said slide which are displaceable parallel to each other and serving to hold different tools (9,9′), said holders (6,6′) being selectively displaceable in the direction of the spindle axis (7) or away from that axis through an angle of 90° with respect to the direction of movement of the slide (5), and further comprising driving means (1,2,3,3′) to displace the slide (5) and the tool holders (6,6′) along their axis of movement (Y,Z) into a predetermined working position.
Claims14
A tool support for machining a work piece on a working spindle of a lathe comprising
- a base structure;
- a slide mounted on said base structure which is displaceable in a controlled manner transversely to an axis of the spindle along a Y-axis;
- two tool holders mounted parallel to each other on said slide for holding different tools, wherein said tool holders are displaceable through an angle of 90° with respect to a direction of movement of the slide individually or selectively with respect to the axis of the spindle along an X-axis into a working position or out of the working position, and
- driving means for displacing the slide and the tool holders sequentially or simultaneously along a respective axis of movement for said slide and said tool holders into a predetermined working position.
