Abstract
In order to save the investment for a separate cold rolling machine for applying threads etc. a cold rolling unit is placed in a moveable manner onto the Z-drives of a turning machine wherein the cold rolling unit can be configured much larger and much more stable and with less wear than a cold rolling unit used in a tool revolver. Even parallel processing through turning and rolling is facilitated.
Claims11
A material removing machine tool (1) with a work piece (100) driven in rotation about a rotation axis (10), which machine tool comprises:
- a bed (5);
- a cold rolling unit (2) including a plurality of forming rollers (13a, b) and a base element (8) supporting the forming rollers (13a, b);
- a turning machine including a plurality of material removing tools (22a, 22b) supported thereon, said turning machine also including a tool support (19) supporting the plurality of material removing tools;
- a plurality of Z-guides (6d, 6c, 6b) on the bed for guiding movements of the tool support (19) in a direction of a Z-axis that is parallel to the rotation axis;
- a plurality of Z-guides (6c, 6b, 6a) on the bed for guiding movements of the base element (8) in a direction of a Z-axis that is parallel to the rotation axis,
- wherein some, but not all, of the plurality of Z-guides for guiding movements of the tool support (19) are the same as the plurality of Z-guides for guiding movements of the base element (8).
