Abstract
A machine tool comprising a tool spindle and a workpiece clamping mechanism moveable relative to one another on a linear X-axis in a controlled manner, wherein the tool spindle can be moved in a controlled manner in relation to a machine frame on Y and Z-axes which are perpendicular to the X-axis and to each other and can be pivoted in a controlled manner around a C-axis parallel to the Z-axis, and wherein a workpiece gripper, which can be moved in common with the tool spindle, is assigned to the tool spindle, and that the tool spindle can travel with the workpiece gripper to a magazine wheel on the Y, Z and C-axes and can be aligned with recesses on the magazine wheel, movement on the X, Y, Z and C-axes effecting transfer of a workpiece between the workpiece gripper and the workpiece clamping mechanism.
Claims11
A machine tool comprising a machine frame (10, 20), a tool spindle (30) that can be driven so as to rotate, a workpiece clamping mechanism (12) and a magazine, wherein the tool spindle (30) and the workpiece clamping mechanism (12) can be moved relative to one another on a linear X-axis in a controlled manner, and wherein the tool spindle (30) can be moved in a controlled manner in relation to machine frame (10, 20) on Y- and Z-axes which are perpendicular to the X-axis and to each other and can be pivoted in a controlled manner around a C-axis parallel to the Z-axis, characterized in that the magazine has at least one magazine wheel (42, 66) which can be positioned rotating around a rotational axis parallel to the Z-axis, that the magazine wheel (42, 66) has recesses (58, 76) for tools (60) and/or workpieces (62, 64, 78) arranged distributed in its circumferential direction, that a workpiece gripper (34), which can be moved in common with the tool spindle (30), is assigned to the tool spindle (30), and that the tool spindle (30) can travel with the workpiece gripper (34) to the magazine wheel (42, 66) on the Y, Z and C-axes and can be aligned in relation to the recesses (58, 76) so that either a tool (60) can be exchanged between the tool spindle (30) and a recess (58) of the magazine wheel (42, 66) or a workpiece (62, 64, 78) can be exchanged between the workpiece gripper (34) and a recess (58, 76) of the magazine wheel (42, 66), wherein the movements on the X, Y, Z and C axes effect a transfer of the workpiece (16, 62, 64, 78) between the workpiece gripper (34) and the workpiece clamping mechanism (12).
