  • Patent number: 6783444
    Abstract: The tool comprises a tool wheel (5) which is mounted on a holding arm (4) and has a tool-wheel parent body (6) having a machining body (7) arranged at the outer margin. In one embodiment variant, this machining body is designed as an abrasive body. A base body for accommodating the bearing arrangement is designed in one piece with the holding arm (4), which also has the supply lines (8) for the hydrodynamic bearing arrangement and the hydraulic drive. A tool-centering interface (11) permits the presetting of the tools outside the machine tool.

  • Publication number: 20030182782
    Abstract: A machining system has a frame defining at least one work station, a guide extending in a first direction on the frame, first and second slides movable independently of each other on the guide, and a support having a pair of sides. Respective first and second main links each have one end pivoted on the support at a respective one of the sides and an opposite end pivoted on a respective one of the slides. A machining unit is carried on the support. Actuators connected to the slides can independently move them and thereby pivot the support and unit about an axis perpendicular to the guide and move the support and unit parallel and transverse to the guide.

  • Patent number: 6276035
    Abstract: The tool-changing device comprises a tool carrier rotatably mounted in a basic housing by means of a hollow shaft. This tool carrier is driven via a ring motor, the rotor of which is directly connected to the hollow shaft. A servomotor for the drive of tools is provided in the interior of the hollow shaft. Furthermore, the cavity of the hollow shaft also accommodates supply lines for the tools.
