  • Patent number: 8388282
    Abstract: This processing machine comprises a casing (4), a tool-holder spindle (6) which is to carry a machine tool, a positive feed drive mechanism for the spindle (6), which mechanism is suitable for driving the spindle (6) simultaneously in rotation and in translation relative to the casing (4) in accordance with an advance or return movement, and a system (12) for lubricating the machine tool, comprising a lubricant inlet (40), a lubricant duct (42) delimited by the spindle (6), the lubricant duct (42) opening out at an end of the spindle (6) carrying the machine tool, in order to supply the machine tool (7) with lubricant, and a lubricant-admission module (44) connecting the lubricant inlet (40) to the said lubricant duct (42). The lubricant-admission module (44) forms a lubricant pump drawing in the lubricant from the lubricant inlet (40) and supplying the lubricant duct (42) of the spindle (6), the advance and return of the spindle (6) activating the pumping of lubricant by the admission module (44).

  • Patent number: 8388276
    Abstract: The present invention describes a machine to that includes a casing and a toolholder spindle. The machine tool further includes a drive mechanism that drives the toolholder spindle. The drive mechanism includes first and second drive members. The first drive member rotates the spindle about its axis. The second drive member translates the spindle and is screwed onto the spindle in such a way that the spindle advances or reverses as a function of the relative speed of rotation between the first and second drive members. The machine tool also includes a first motor and a second motor. The first motor rotates the first drive member and the second motor rotates the second drive member. The machine too further includes a control unit that controls and adjusts the speed of rotation of the first motor and the second motor independently.
