Machine tool for producing toothed sections on workpieces

A machine tool for producing toothed sections on workpieces, the machine tool comprising:

• a machine bed;
• a pivoting element with at least two workpiece spindles arranged thereon, wherein one end of the pivoting element is pivotably mounted to the bed, wherein the pivoting element and the at least two workpiece spindles are pivotable relative to the machine bed about a workpiece spindle pivot axis of the pivoting element, and the at least two spindles each have a respective workpiece receiver that is rotatably drivable about a respective rotational axis for a respective workpiece to be toothed, and wherein the pivoting element has an opposite end spaced along the workpiece spindle pivot axis from said one end;
• a tool positioning unit with a tool head arranged thereon, wherein the tool head is linearly movable relative to the at least two workpiece spindles along three axes, and the tool head is pivotable about a tool head pivot axis;
• a bearing element extending from said opposite end of said pivoting element and in the direction of the workpiece spindle pivot axis and being rigidly arranged on the pivoting element for rotation with the pivoting element about the workpiece spindle pivot axis, the bearing element having one end that is connected to the pivoting element and having an opposite end spaced along the workpiece spindle pivot axis from said one end of said bearing element;
• and,
• wherein said opposite end of the bearing element is pivotably mounted to a reinforcing element so as to pivot about the workpiece spindle pivot axis, wherein the reinforcing element is fastened to the machine bed, wherein the reinforcing element includes a stand and a cross member, wherein the tool positioning unit is movably mounted on the stand, and the cross member connects the stand to said opposite end of the bearing element.
