Abstract: A machine for machining workpieces includes a machine frame (110, 120), a honing ring carrier (60) which is mounted on the machine frame and in which a honing ring or a honing ring blank is clampable and rotationally drivable about its central axis, and a workpiece spindle module (50) having a workpiece spindle (54), wherein a workpiece which is to be machined with the honing ring clamped in the honing ring carrier (60) is mountable in the region of a free end of the workpiece spindle (54). The machine further includes a grinding module (130) for profiling a honing ring as a result of grinding a honing ring blank, wherein the grinding module (130) is arranged in such a manner on the machine frame (110, 120) that a grinding wheel of the grinding module (130) can be positioned relative to the honing ring carrier (60) inside a truly three-dimensional space. The profiling of a honing ring and the honing of a workpiece can consequently be effected in the same clamping setup of the honing ring.

Abstract: A machine for honing gears comprises a workpiece spindle, the spindle axis of which is oriented vertically, wherein a workpiece to be machined is attachable in the region of a free end of the workpiece spindle, a honing ring carrier in which a honing ring for machining the workpiece attached to the workpiece spindle is clampable and is drivable in rotation about its central axis, and a machine frame on which the workpiece spindle and the honing ring carrier are mounted. The machine frame surrounds the honing ring carrier. The honing ring carrier is additionally mounted at two bearing points on the machine frame, said bearing points being substantially diametrically opposite one another with regard to the honing ring carrier, so as to be movable linearly along a horizontal axis which extends through the bearing points and so as to be movable in rotation about this axis. The machine has a simple and compact structure.
