Abstract: A tool turret for machining workpieces has a housing and with a part that can be rotated around an axis of rotation into several rotary positions. On the rotating part, several tool holders are mounted on the circumference for holding tools to which a cryogenic cooling medium can be fed by means of a first feed line and a respective second feed line. The first feed line can be moved in a linear manner in at least some sections by a linear actuator whereby the first feed line is connected in a first position with the second feed line belonging to the tool in work position and in a second position is disconnected from the second feed lines for changing the rotary position of the rotating part. The tool turret enables the cryogenic cooling medium to be fed to the tools in a simple and reliable manner.

Abstract: A machining installation for workpieces comprises a workpiece positioning device comprising a workpiece holder pivot unit as well as a tool positioning device comprising a tool holder pivot unit. The workpiece holder pivot unit is designed such that a workpiece holder is pivotable about at least three and no more than four workpiece holder pivot axes. Moreover, the tool holder pivot unit is designed such that a tool holder is pivotable about no more than two tool holder pivot axes. The machining installation has a simple design and ensures flexible and accurate machining of workpieces.

Abstract: A machine tool for achieving a high degree of flexibility during workpiece processing comprises a machine bed with side walls arranged thereon, which respectively comprise a basic body with a front overhanging projection arranged thereon. On the side walls a tool spindle is arranged to be linearly movable by means of slides. Underneath the front overhanging projections a processing space is formed for the workpiece processing, in which a workpiece positioning unit is arranged. The processing space underneath the front overhanging projections is freely accessible, whereby depending on the processing task different workpiece positioning units can be arranged therein.

Abstract: A machine tool with a chain magazine has a chain guide which extends in the x, y, and z-directions. It also has a magazine chain, which has chain members, which are connected to one another by means of universal joints and in each case have a tool receiver. The magazine chain is guided by means of the chain guide. The chain magazine is moveable in the z-direction for tool changing operations.

Abstract: A feed and removal system for a machine tool has a supply device and a removal device for workpieces. Arranged at the front side of the machine tool are loading arms and unloading arms, which are pivotable about vertical pivot axes and, at their free ends, carry workpiece carrying devices.

Abstract: A machining installation comprises a workpiece positioning device with a workpiece holder pivot unit which is designed in such a way that a workpiece holder, together with a workpiece to be machined, is pivotable about at least five pivot axes. In order to rotatably drive a tool about an axis of rotation, a work spindle unit is arranged at a stand, with the axis of rotation being inclined relative to a horizontal x-direction through an angle ?, with 20°???70°, particularly 30°???60°, and particularly 40°???50°. The machining installation has a simple design and allows a flexible five-sided machining of workpieces.

Abstract: In a method for cooling and lubricating a tool during a chip-producing machining of a workpiece and for cleaning the machined surface, a cooling and lubricating agent is fed to the machined surface via the tool during machining, and after machining, supercritical CO2 is supplied via the tool.

Abstract: A machine tool for at least triaxial machining of work pieces comprises a column of the type of a casing with side walls. In an interior space, provision is made for a work spindle which projects into a working area and which is connected via couplers and hinges to a driving skid that is displaceably guided on each side wall straight in a y direction. The driving skids are displaceably guided on two guides which are spaced from each other in the z direction. Provided between the guides are linear motors, a first part of which is mounted on the driving skid and a second part on the side wall.
