  • Patent number: 7172375
    Abstract: The present invention provides a machine tool realizing high-speed movement of a spindle and thus reducing the machining time without any increase in size of the whole machine. A machining unit 3 by which a spindle 2 with a tool T attached thereto is supported to be relatively movable in X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions is mounted on a long bed 4 having a plurality of machining areas a1 to a4 arranged in one direction, and the machining unit 3 is movable in the arrangement direction of the machining areas.
