Abstract: The invention relates to a handling system (1000) comprising a handling device (100) that has a carrier device (20) and a handling means (30) which is carried by the carrier device (20), intended for handling workpiece pallets (101, 101a, 101b), and comprises an exchange device (40) having at least two receiving spaces (41a, 41b) designed for receiving workpiece pallets (101, 101a; 101b), and the handling means (30) being designed to move the exchange device (40) relative to the carrier device (20) in a first movement direction X in such a way that both receiving spaces (41a, 41b) are moved together, characterized in that the handling means (30) is also designed to decouple a workpiece pallet (101a, 101b) which is handled by the handling means (30) and received in one of the at least two receiving spaces (41a, 41b) from the exchange device (40) via at least one decoupling device (42a, 42b) in such a way that the decoupled workpiece pallet (101a; 101b) substantially retains its position relative to the carrier

Abstract: A transmission arrangement for energy and/or signal transmission between a control unit of a machine tool and at least one electronic component, in particular for use in a machining center or a turning and/or milling center. The transmission arrangement is configured to transmit energy and/or signals between electronic components arranged on a pallet and a control unit of a machine tool. The method shows a procedure for automated machining of a workpiece by means of a machine tool, in particular when electronic components are arranged on a pallet on which the workpiece is clamped.

Abstract: A machining unit for a machine tool and machine tool having such a machining unit comprises a head carrier that is attached to the machine tool, a pivot head held on the head carrier in such a way that the pivot head can be pivoted about a pivot axis, a working spindle, which is arranged on the pivot head and has a spindle axis that is tilted in relation to the pivot axis, a spindle motor, which is arranged in the head carrier and has a drive shaft arranged parallel to the pivot axis, and a drive transmission for transmitting the rotational motion of the drive shaft of the spindle motor to the working spindle, wherein the drive transmission has a transmission stage that can be shifted. The pivot head has a shifting transmission shaft that is oriented coaxially to the pivot axis of the pivot head, wherein the transmission stage that can be shifted has a hollow shaft movably supported on the shifting transmission shaft of the pivot head.

Abstract: A position measuring device for use on a machine tool includes a scale section that can be scanned by way of a scanner device and serves to detect a position of a first component of the machine tool in relation to a second component of the machine tool, which is movable in relation to the first component, when the scale section is arranged on the first component and the scanner device is arranged on the second component, and at least one holding element as a constituent of an indirect attachment for indirectly attaching the scale section to the first component of the machine tool. A material of the at least one holding element has a thermal expansion coefficient that is less than a thermal expansion coefficient of a material of the first component of the machine tool.

Abstract: A machine tool for machining a workpiece clamped in the working space of the machine tool by means of a tool. The machine tool includes a machine bed, which has a chip collection region having at least one conveying channel open on the working space side for collecting chips that drop during the machining of the workpiece, and a conveying device for leading away chips that have dropped into the chip collection region in the at least one conveying channel. The conveying device has a stationary supporting shaft, which extends in the at least one conveying channel in the longitudinal direction of the conveying channel, wherein a spiral element is rotatably supported on the stationary supporting shaft, and wherein the conveying device also comprises a drive for driving the rotational motion of the spiral element about the stationary supporting shaft.

Abstract: A numerically controlled machine tool, including a machine bed, a cabin having a cabin wall which embraces at least part of the machine bed, and at least one shaped element, which has a substantially panel-shaped basic form and is attached to the machine tool in such a way that a cavity is present between the shaped element and the cabin wall and/or the machine bed.
