  • Patent number: 6813822
    Abstract: A rotary indexing machine (10) has a fixed machine frame, which is designed for holding a multiplicity of machining units (66) and comprises at least one support (70) Furthermore, the rotary indexing machine (10) has rotary table (40) rotatable relative to the machine frame about a vertical indexing axis (12). To create free space for the machining of a workpiece to be arranged on the rotary table (40), the support (70) is designed for the lateral attachment of at least one of the machining units (66). The machine frame is characterized by high rigidity and stability, a large free space for 15 machining workpieces being created at the same time in the region of the rotary table (40), and good accessibility the satellites (50), the indexing devices and the rotary table (40) being ensured for the adjustment setting-up of the machine.

  • Patent number: 6526638
    Abstract: A device for producing relative motion with two translational degrees of freedom between a spindle means (95, 195, 295 395) with a spindle which bears the first part of a first pair of parts formed from a workpiece and a tool, and a retaining element for holding the second part of the first pair of parts, has a first base part to which a first part of a second pair of parts which is formed from the spindle means (95, 195, 295, 395) and the retaining element is attached. The movement device furthermore comprises a second base part, and at least one of the two base parts can be moved in a straight line with respect to the other along a linear guide with a first translational degree of freedom.
