Abstract: A universal head changes the orientation of a tool freely and machines a workpiece with the tool in the changed orientation. The universal head comprises a universal head body, for swiveling movement, including a swinging unit and an attachment detachably mounted on the swinging unit with a rotating tool removably mounted on the attachment. The universal head has, and simultaneously offers, the advantages of both a universal head, which allows the tool to change its orientation freely for machining a workpiece, and an attachment which allows the tool to be brought closely to the workpiece for machining the workpiece. The universal head does not require a process of installing itself on and removing itself from a universal head support.

Abstract: Machine tool simplifying maintenance, reducing manufacturing costs, and enabling high precision machining. The machine tool is equipped with: a bed furnished with a rectangular base, right and left sidewalls provided standing either side of the base, and a rear sidewall provided standing along the back of the base; a table disposed in the space surrounded by the three sidewalls; a first saddle shaped in the form of a rectangular frame shape, provided free to shift back and forth supported on the tops of the left and right sidewalls; a second saddle penetrated by a perpendicular through-hole and arranged free to shift sideways inside the first saddle frame; and a spindle head arranged free to shift perpendicularly inside the through-hole in the second saddle; and a main spindle arranged over the table and supported by the spindle head free to rotate centered on its axis.

Abstract: Machine tool having a bed, a table arranged on the bed, a first saddle provided free to travel back and forth, a second saddle supported on the first saddle and provided free to travel side to side, a spindle head provided free to travel perpendicularly on the second saddle, a main spindle situated above the table and by the spindle head supported free to rotate on its center axis, a front cover provided on the front side of the bed and furnished with doors that open and close sideways, and top covers configured with one end sideways shiftably connected to the front side of the first saddle, and with another end connected extensibly/retractably to the top of the front-cover doors, therein being configured for permitting back-and-forth-directed movement of the first saddle.

Abstract: Machine tool with: a bed furnished with a base and two side walls provided standing along respective left and right sides of the base; a first saddle composed of a rectangular frame, with vertical sides provided perpendicularly and transverse sides provided sideways, and both ends of the frame sideways being supported on rear faces of the side walls so as to be perpendicularly movable; a second saddle arranged within the first-saddle frame and provided to be movable sideways, and having a front-to-rear penetrating through-hole; a spindle head arranged in the second-saddle through-hole and provided to be movable back-and-forth; a tool-retaining spindle supported, by the spindle head, with its axis paralleling the front-to-rear orientation and rotatable about its axial center; and, arranged on the bed, a table on which workpieces are set.
