Abstract
Instead of a conventional slide arrangement Z/X/Y and a B-axis that is pivotable thereon, a more compact and less complex configuration is achieved in that a tool support that is pivotable about the B-axis is directly placed onto the X-slide and only a single rotationally drivable tool spindle is additionally movable in Y-direction in this pivotable tool support, whereas all other tool receivers for stationary tools are fixated at the support.
Claims22
A turning machine (1), comprising:
- a workpiece spindle (11) drivable in rotation with a controlled C-axis;
- a bed (2);
- a Z-slide (3) movable in a direction of a rotation axis (10);
- and
- a X-slide (4) movable on the Z-slide (3),
- a tool support (5) is arranged directly on the X-slide (4), so that the tool support is pivotable about a B-axis, and
- a driven tool spindle (6) is arranged at the tool support (5), so that the tool spindle is movable in a Y-direction along the tool support (5),
- wherein additional stationary tool receivers (7a,b . . . ,) for non rotating tools (8a, b) are provided at the tool support (5).
