Abstract: The invention pertains to a machine tool for processing workpieces with tools, wherein the machine tool has a spindle housing that contains a spindle shaft and accommodates at least one tool as well as a drive device that causes a rotational movement of the spindle shaft. The machine tool is characterized by the fact that the drive device (3) contains a hydraulically operated displacement machine or swash plate device.

Abstract: To form a pipe fitting (90) having a body (92) formed with at least one outer bulge (93) defining an inner circumferential groove (93a), in which a sealing ring (93b) can be located, so that the fitting, upon circumferential compression, can sealingly engage a pipe (91) inserted therein, a blank (11) is inserted into a two-part die, joined together at a severing plane. The die is formed with an annular recess or groove (7, 8). A mandrel is inserted in the pipe to maintain its inner diameter, and an upset member is forcibly moved against the end portions of the blank. The material of the blank (11) will flow into the annular groove (7, 8), thus forming the circumferential bulge (93). To accurately dimension and shape the resulting inner groove (93a), a roller element is inserted into the pipe, and rotated about itself, and additionally moved in an orbital or spiral path against the inner wall of the initially formed groove, to define its shape and size.

Abstract: A turret-type machine tool has a workpiece support that can be indexed incrementally by a step-drive and is locked to be stationary in angular positions corresponding to individual machining stations. In the individual machining stations, machining units are provided, each of them carrying a machining spindle. Workpiece holders are supported on the workpiece supports with planet axes located in at least one horizontal plane; the planet axes extend at a tangent to and radially spaced apart from the vertical switching axis of the workpiece support and are each aligned in pairs parallel to one another.
