Abstract
Grinding machine with a machine bed, with a tool carriage that is linearly movable on the machine bed in a Y-axis, with a tool spindle, which is mounted in the tool carriage so as to rotate around an X-axis that is perpendicular to the Y-axis, and which can be rotationally driven, with an X-carriage that is linearly movable on the machine bed in the X-axis, with a Z-carriage that is linearly movable on the X-carriage with a Z-axis that is perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis, and with a work piece jig, which is arranged on the Z-carriage so as to pivot around a B-axis, which is parallel to the Y-axis, and which is capable of rotating around its A-axis, which is perpendicular to the B-axis.
Claims16
Grinding machine, comprising:
- a machine bed,
- a Y-carriage that is linearly movable in only a Y-direction parallel to a Y-axis on the machine bed,
- a rotationally-driven tool spindle mounted on the Y-carriage and configured to be rotatable around an X-axis perpendicular to the Y-axis while remaining aligned with the X-axis,
- an X-carriage that is linearly movable in an X-direction parallel to the X-axis on the machine bed,
- a Z-carriage that is linearly movable on the X-carriage along a Z-direction parallel to a Z-axis perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis,
- a drive operably connected to the Z-carriage, and
- a work piece jig connecting with the Z-carriage and configured to pivot around a B-axis which is parallel to the Y-axis, and configured to rotate around a rotational A-axis which is perpendicular to the rotational B-axis and further comprising a tool magazine for holding tools, the tool magazine coupled with the X-carriage and offset from the Z-carriage in the Y-direction.
