Abstract
A milling machine including a frame (2) having a work surface (2.1) disposed in a vertical plane and a C-shaped moving bridge (3). In addition, the machine includes: at least three heads (7), each head including a machining spindle (15); and five movement axes (X, Y, Z, A, B), such that the moving bridge (3) is moved by the frame (2) along a horizontal axis (X). Each head (7) is moved independently on the moving bridge (3) along a vertical axis (Y) in order to be moved towards or away from the work surface (2.1) along a depth axis (Z) perpendicular to both the horizontal axis (X) and the vertical axis (Y), as well as rotating independently about a first axis of rotation (A). Each spindle (15) rotates independently about a second axis of rotation (B).
Claims15
A milling machine comprising:
- a frame including a work surface arranged in a vertical plane;
- a C-shaped moving bridge;
- at least three heads, each of which comprises a machining spindle;
- and
- five movement axes arranged in such a way that:
- the moving bridge is moved along the frame according to a horizontal axis,
- each head is independently moved on the moving bridge according to a vertical axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis,
- each head is moved on the moving bridge in order to be moved towards or moved away from the work surface according to a depth axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis and to the vertical axis,
- each head independently performs rotating movements according to a first axis of rotation, and
- each machining spindle independently performs rotating movements according to a second axis of rotation,
- such that each machining spindle is moved independently according to at least three of the five axes.
