Abstract: A control center for workpieces, including a device for transporting workpieces between one or more workpiece assembly or dismantling stations, and one or more machining tools. Also included is a plurality of workpiece carriers having on their underside a transport screw which can be rigidly coupled with the transport screw of one of the machining tools, or with the transport screw of one of the assembly or dismantling stations, or with the transport screw of one or more intermediate carriages disposed between the machining tool or tools and the station or stations. An intermediate shaft is disposed between respective ones of the parts which are to be coupled, with this shaft coupling the screws of these parts. The intermediate shaft has a longitudinal axis about which it is rotatable, and has a further axis which extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis and about which the shaft is pivotable. A common drive mechanism is provided for the rotational and pivotal movements.

Abstract: A horizontal drilling and milling machine having a horizontal, rotatable work table and an angle-cutting milling head with a milling spindle and a drive shaft which is driven by the drilling spindle of the headstock. The milling head is rotatable about the axis of the drilling spindle, and can be pivoted into a tool exchanging position about an axis which extends at right angles to the axis of the drilling spindle.

Abstract: A horizontal drilling and milling machine having a spindle head which is rotatable about an axis set at 45.degree. relative to the horizontal. In the horizontal and vertical working positions of the spindle sleeve, the spindle head can be arrested via a support housing. In its horizontal working position, the spindle sleeve is rotatably driven exclusively by a spur gear system, and in its vertical working position is rotatably driven with the aid of a bevel gear system.

Abstract: A horizontal drilling and milling machine having a spindle head which can be rotated about an axis set at 45.degree. to a horizontal plane. The spindle head can be arrested in the horizontal and vertical working positions of the spindle sleeve by means of a support housing. The spindle sleeve can be driven via a gear system. The rotary movement of the spindle head is derived from the drive shaft for the spindle sleeve.

Abstract: A horizontal combined drilling and milling machine having a horizontally adjustable drilling and milling spindle, and a faceplate with a cross slide and tool cartridge. A precisely determinable supply of cooling medium to the tool is to be achieved in every position of the cross slide, and the exchange of the essential parts of the means for supplying the cooling medium to the cross slide should be effected without manual activity. For this purpose, the machine is provided with an adapter by means of which the cooling medium can be supplied via the drilling spindle and a flexible connection, such as a hose, to the radially adjustable cross slide, the cartridge, and the tool holder all the way to the shaft of the tool.
