  • Patent number: 10478909
    Abstract: A machine for machining workpieces includes a machine frame (110, 120), a honing ring carrier (60) which is mounted on the machine frame and in which a honing ring or a honing ring blank is clampable and rotationally drivable about its central axis, and a workpiece spindle module (50) having a workpiece spindle (54), wherein a workpiece which is to be machined with the honing ring clamped in the honing ring carrier (60) is mountable in the region of a free end of the workpiece spindle (54). The machine further includes a grinding module (130) for profiling a honing ring as a result of grinding a honing ring blank, wherein the grinding module (130) is arranged in such a manner on the machine frame (110, 120) that a grinding wheel of the grinding module (130) can be positioned relative to the honing ring carrier (60) inside a truly three-dimensional space. The profiling of a honing ring and the honing of a workpiece can consequently be effected in the same clamping setup of the honing ring.

  • Patent number: 10399162
    Abstract: The invention relates to a toothing processing machine comprising a machine frame and a spindle carrier having a first spindle. The spindle comprises a first spindle housing and a first spindle shaft, which is arranged in the first spindle housing such that it can rotate about a first spindle axis, and a free end for receiving a work piece or a tool. A second spindle is also provided having a second spindle housing and a second spindle shaft for receiving a tool or work piece, wherein the second spindle shaft is mounted in the second spindle housing such that it can rotate about a second spindle axis. In addition, at least one wall of the machine frame forms a part of the casing of a closable working chamber, in which the work piece can be processed and which can be closed in order to prevent the release of a material removal, a processing liquid and/or a processing mist from the working chamber into other machine regions or to the outside.
