Abstract: A tool-changing device which is used on machine tools (18). Here, provision is made to carry out positioning of a tool holder (2) in the working position (6) of the tool holder with the aid of the locking element (7) of the drive device (4) of the tool-changing device (1). An adjusting movement (22) of the locking element (7) into the locking position (9) of the locking element on the tool holder (2) that is required for the use of the tool (3) is used to position the tool holder (2) in the working position (6) thereof, by the adjusting movement (2) of the locking element (7) being converted into a positioning movement (21) of the tool holders (2).

Abstract: For a turning machine (1) that can be used for rotary turning, the tool holder (20) is hydrostatically mounted. A method corresponding to this is described, and it is provided to use a hydrostatic bearing (8, 9) for the damping of mechanical vibrations of a tool holder (20) and/or for the permanent mounting of a tool holder (20) of a turning machine (1).

Abstract: A method for setting up a rotary processing machine (1), in which at least one base jaw (4) of a workpiece receptacle is set up to receive a workpiece type that is to be processed and in which the base jaw (4) is coated on a workpiece contact surface (15).

Abstract: A method for machining a workpiece and a lathe are provided, as well a tool head (1) for a lathe (2), having a tool holder (5) retaining a machining tool (3), wherein the tool head (1) has at least one actuator (6) for generating an additional movement of the tool holder (5) in the form of an oscillating pivoting movement about at least one pivot axis (7)

Abstract: According to the invention, it is provided that, on a machine tool (1) which has a machine part (2) which can be adjusted by motor, a touch-sensitive display (4) is used to display the machine part (2) in its instantaneous state on the display (4) and to adjust said machine part by motor by a swiping gesture being executed on the display (4). The objective of this is to simplify operator control of the machine tool (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine (1) comprising an output (3) that is controlled by an error detection and/or information unit (2). According to the invention, the output information codes (7) are converted to control commands (6) with the aid of a control unit (5), by which commands pictorial information associated with the respective information code (7) is output by an output unit (4).

Abstract: In a machine (1) according to the invention, machine-readable codes (2, 3, 4) that can be externally read out are attached to said machine and read out using a reader (7), each machine-readable code (2, 3, 4) being converted into at least one piece of information (15) concerning the operating instructions, maintenance instructions and/or assembly instructions using an electronic database (11, 12), this information subsequently being displayed on an optical receiving unit (8) of the reader (7).

Abstract: A lathe (1) in which the work piece (16) to be lathed with a tool (18) is clamped with the longitudinal axis of the work piece parallel to the rotational axis (29) of the rotating clamping device (15) such that the rotational axis (29) does not intersect the work piece (16), and between two machining steps of the machining process by lathing, a position of the work piece (16) in the clamping device (15) is changed such that surface areas (30, 36) not previously machined are moved into the working area of the tool (18).
