Abstract: A machine tool more particularly for drilling and milling, possesses a machine bed, on which a power driven longitudinal slide is adapted to run horizontally on rails. A machining head having a rotary drive device for at least one table forming part of said head, is power moved on the longitudinal slide in at least one further direction movement. The machine bed possesses two spaced lateral walls, on which the longitudinal slide is at least partly guided and whose intermediate space is designed in the form of a machining zone. On each of the two lateral walls a fastening point is provided for at least one pivoting work holding device, the two fastening points being aligned in a horizontal line, which defines a pivot axis, athwart the longitudinal direction of the guide rails. In such an arrangement the work holding means is readily accessible and is easy to service and furthermore may be simply replaced.

Abstract: A machine tool more particularly for drilling and milling, possesses a machine bed, on which a power driven longitudinal slide is adapted to run horizontally on rails. A machining head having a rotary drive device for at least one table forming part of said head, is power moved on the longitudinal slide in at least one further direction of movement. The machine bed possesses two spaced lateral walls, whose intermediate space is designed to serve as a machining zone for receiving at least one work holding means. On the two lateral walls two parallel guide rails are arranged for the longitudinal slide, a third guide rail being arranged with an offset in the longitudinal direction between the two other guide rails. The longitudinal slide is guided using three guide elements on the three guide rails, the power drive being at or adjacent to the central guide rail. On this arrangement a clamping yoke of relatively light design may be employed, which only requires one central drive.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of dyed filaments or fibres of acrylonitrile polymers, wherein carbon black pigments are added to the polymer before the spinning process and the filament containing carbon black pigments are dyed. By this process it is possible to save considerable amounts of dye-stuff.
