Abstract: System for machining workpieces including a setting-up module and a machining module for the production of components. The setting-up module includes at least one first tool holder fixing device for fixing at least one tool holder removably, and at least one first workpiece support fixing device for fixing a workpiece support removably. The machining module includes at least one second tool holder fixing device for fixing at least one tool holder removably and at least one second workpiece support fixing device for fixing a workpiece support removably, such that the tool holder and the workpiece support can both be transferred from the setting-up module to the machining module after setting up.

Abstract: A lathe including a moving headstock designed to rotate and move forward a workpiece to be turned in relation to an axis of translation and rotation. A guide bush is designed to be attached to a frame of the lathe and includes a bush spindle and a clamping mechanism. The guide bush is designed to operate either in bush mode or in grip mode and is designed to be moveable axially in relation to the frame along the axis of translation and rotation. The lathe is arranged to operate in a first mode in which the guide bush is driven axially by the moving headstock, and a second mode in which the axial position of the guide bush is static in relation to the frame.

Abstract: A workpiece machining system including a setting-up module and a machining module for producing workpieces. The setting-up module includes at least one first tool-holder attachment device for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one first workpiece-carrier attachment device for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier. The machining module includes at least one second tool-holder attachment device for removably attaching at least one tool-holder and at least one second workpiece-carrier attachment device—for removably attaching a workpiece-carrier, such that the tool-holder and the workpiece-carrier—can both be transferred after setting up from the setting-up module to the machining module.

Abstract: A machining unit including at least one machining module. The machining module includes a protective compartment that delimits an enclosure and has a front door, which can go from a closed position to an open position defining an opening. A machining assembly is provided with a tool-holder and a part-holder. A movable carriage receives the machining assembly and can slide on a guide device, between a first position in which the machining assembly is accommodated in the enclosure and a second position in which the carriage projects from the protective compartment via the opening and the machining assembly is situated outside the enclosure. In the first position, the front door can be closed for the purpose of carrying out machining of a part by the machining assembly. The second position permits access to the machining assembly from the exterior of the protective compartment.
