Abstract: A program controlled machine tool, including a bed-like substructure, a machine frame having two vertical and parallel side walls, and a compound slide having a longitudinal slide which can travel in the direction of the Y-coordinate axis on the two side walls of the machine frame. A cross slide is guided in such a way that it can travel in the direction of the X-coordinate axis. A machining unit can travel in the direction of the vertical Z-coordinate axis and has a working spindle. A workpiece table arrangement arranged on the substructure in front of the side walls. The workpiece table arrangement is arranged on the front partial area of the flat base and the cross slide has a length in the direction of the Y-coordinate axis which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the workpiece table and/or the working space in the Y-direction.

Abstract: A workpiece seat for the machining of bar-shaped workpieces by milling and turning. The workpiece seat has an elongated housing, a spindle rotatably supported in the housing, and an electric direct drive for the spindle. The drive rotor is fixed on the spindle and the drive stator is fixed in the housing. Clamping means are provided at the working end in the spindle for fixing a bar-shaped workpiece in the spindle. A connection unit is provided at the rear part of the housing for power supply. A fixing means is provided for fixing the spindle in the housing. To achieve high machining accuracy of thick bars and high clamping forces at reduced longitudinal dimensions, as well as relatively simple design, the fixing means is formed as a compact part and is arranged at the working end of the housing.

Abstract: A milling and drilling machine for rod-shaped material. A motor-driven spindle head is movable on a column along a first coordinate axis and includes a work spindle capable of selectively accommodating milling and turning tools. A separating device transversely separates the rod-shaped material. A clamping device, disposed laterally alongside the workspace, has a workpiece holder with a clamping axis along a horizontal coordinate axis. A rotary drive is provided for the workpiece holder. The spindle head is pivotable about a Y axis at the front side of a headstock movable in the direction of the Y coordinate axis. The headstock is disposed on a motor-driven slide movable on the stationary column along an X coordinate axis parallel to the workpiece clamping axis. The clamping device is disposed on an inclined console located on the face of the column and movable along the Z coordinate axis in guides.

Abstract: A machine tool for metal cutting having a collecting system for chips and liquids. Disposed below the work area is a pan having a transverse groove, a chip conveyor disposed in the transverse groove, a spiral-shaped conveyor element, a liquid collector on one side wall of the pan and a chip outlet disposed on the other side wall of the pan on the outlet end of the chip conveyor. To enhance the separation of liquids even when a large amount of chips is produced, an elongated screen element is disposed in the inner cavity of the spiral-shaped conveyor element, the screen element extending over at least part of the length of the conveyor element and terminating at the liquid collector.

Abstract: The invention concerns a drive assembly for relative movement of two components of a machine tool with a drive motor and a gear arrangement with two gear trains that can be put under tension relative to each other and have output gears that mesh with opposing teeth, where each gear train has a compact gear with a high transmission ratio with at least one control element for applying tension to the two gear trains. A high positioning accuracy and torsional rigidity combined with a small size when installed are made possible according to this invention by the fact that the compact gear.

Abstract: A tool changer comprises a support (7) movable parallel to the axis (A or B) of a tool holder, a pivoting head (8) which pivots on the support (7) about an axis of rotation (D), and two gripper arms (9, 10) arranged on the head (8) substantially radially with respect to the axis of rotation, their free ends each carrying a gripper (11). The free ends of the gripper arms (9, 10) are so inclined relative to the axis of rotation (D) that the two tool axes (W1, W2) of the tools (5, 6) engaged by the grippers (11) and the axis of rotation (D) intersect in a single point (P), and so that the tool axes (W1, W2) of the tools (5, 6) engaged by the grippers (11) diverge from the axis of rotation (D) towards their holding ends (5a, 6a). Each of the tool axes (W1, W2) includes an acute angle (.alpha.) of about 10.degree. to 30.degree. with the axis of rotation (D).
