Abstract: Provided is a machine tool having functional components that produce heat during operation and which are arranged on a machine frame having cavity structures that form a circulation circuit in which a coolant is circulated inside the machine frame. The machine frame has first areas where the heat-generating functional components are arranged, and second areas spaced apart from the first areas. The heat input in the second areas, which is produced by the functional components, is smaller than that in the first areas. The cavity structures have first sections which are arranged in the first areas and second sections that are arranged in the second areas, and therefore, when the coolant is circulated from the first sections to the second sections, the heat supplied by the functional components is dissipated into the second areas so as to effect a temperature compensation between the first and second areas.
