Abstract: A device has at least one first device foot with a first element and a second element. The device can be arranged on a supporting surface in an operating position, such that a contact area of the first element contacts the supporting surface. The device can be tilted, starting from the operating position, into a transport state, in which a contact area of the second element of the at least one device foot contacts the supporting surface and spaces the first element from the supporting surface. The contact area of the second element has a lower frictional resistance than the contact area of the first element.

Abstract: A machine tool comprises a tool carrier moveable relative to a workpiece to be machined. A controller controls the relative movement of the tool carrier and the workpiece by means of a control program. If an unplanned event occurs during the operational movement of the machine, the relative movement of the tool and the workpiece is stopped, and a restart from a starting position is carried out later. The starting position is in this case approached along a trajectory, and the trajectory is determined automatically as a function of the machining operation in which the unplanned event occurred.

Abstract: A machine tool comprises a working area, closed by walls and a roof covering, in which a device for receiving a work piece is arranged, and a headstock with a main spindle is arranged, into which tools for machining the work piece can be clamped. Device and headstock are movable relatively to each other. In a front wall an opening lockable by a door leads into the working area. At least one part of the roof covering is movable between two positions in such a way that it locks the working area to the top in a first position and releases same to the top for loading in a second position.

Abstract: A workpiece table, provided for a machine tool, is movable back and forth between two end positions and has for this purpose a rotational drive which has a gear part joined to the workpiece table for rotation thereof, a toothed rack in engagement therewith, as well as a medium-actuated shift drive for displacement of the toothed rack, which thereby performs a linear stroke motion, delimited by stops, between two end locations corresponding to the end positions of the workpiece table. Provided on the workpiece table is a mechanism which acts upon the toothed rack with a higher feed force at the beginning of the linear stroke movement than during the remainder of the linear stroke.

Abstract: A machine tool comprises a turntable that has a table plate, pivotable about a rotation axis with respect to a machine frame, onto the upper side of which lead lines, coming from beneath the table plate, that are connected to stationary supply connections. The lines are attached to the table plate from below, by means of downward-pointing connector pieces that are joined nonrotatably to the table plate in its center region, in such a way that they hang freely downward.

Abstract: The machine tool includes a spindle rotor, a tool receptacle and a clamp for clamping a tool in the tool receptacle. The clamp is moveable in the direction of the spindle axis by a spindle drive which is actuated by rotation of the spindle rotor. A spreading member is provided in the tool receptacle for positive gripping and clamping of the tool. The spindle drive preferably includes an externally threaded section on the spreading member and an internally threaded section on the tool receptacle, the latter being non-rotatably joined with the spindle rotor.

Abstract: A holder for a tool comprises a tapered hollow shaft, having an upper opening, for clamping into a tool receptacle, and a coolant tube arranged in the interior of the tapered hollow shaft for delivery of coolant to the tool. The coolant tube comprises an inlet opening for coolant, facing the upper opening, as well as an upper tube section having a cylindrical outer enveloping surface with which, when the holder is clamped into the tool receptacle, a sealing ring, which is arranged in a delivery tube for coolant which then at least partly overlaps the coolant tube, is in contact. A cover for the inlet opening is provided, which prevents chips from getting into the coolant tube. In addition, a further tube section, the outside diameter of which is smaller than that of the upper tube section, adjoins the upper tube section at the bottom.

Abstract: A machine tool is suggested, which has a headstock (111) and at least one tool changer (120). The tool changer (120) moves production tools (116) between a magazine position and a working position, at least one fluid power drive cylinder (1) being associated with it as a drive unit (123). On the drive cylinder (1) a locking device (52) is provided, which when a working pressure of the drive piston (6) drops below a predetermined value produces a mechanical locking action of the drive cylinder piston in relation to the housing. To release the mechanical locking, a setting force due to the working pressure must be overcome.

The drive cylinder (1) provided with a setting device, by means of which the terminal position damping may be switched over between at least two preset values.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device for the manufacture of relatively deep cavities in massive workpieces through a laser beam, whereby the material is removed by the laser beam (7) in close guide paths. According to the invention, during each linear ablation process the laser beam (7) deviated vertically is rotated by a predetermined angle while the workpiece (12) is moved back and forth synchronously on a circular path (14) around the rotating axis (4) of the laser beam (7). Upon ablation of a material layer, these linear ablation processes are repeated until the predetermined depth of the cavity has been reached. According to the invention, pocket-like or chamber-like cavities (13) with vertical or undercut walls can be produced with considerable ablation performance in often inappropriate materials such as ceramics, titanium, etc.

Abstract: An apparatus for compensating for the thermal expansion of two machine parts which are relatively movable in longitudinal guideways. The apparatus comprises a rule, a support rod longitudinally disposed on the movable machine part for supporting the rule, and an electric scanning head mounted on the stationary machine part. The support rod is made of a material which exhibits negligible thermal expansion in the concerned temperature range. The forward end of the support rod is rigidly secured to the forward end of the movable machine part while the rear end thereof is movably guided on that machine part. The rear end of the rule is fixed to the rear end of the support rod. The scanning head is disposed on the stationary machine part in such a way that any thermal expansion of the stationary machine part cannot affect the location of the scanning head.
