Background
A machine tool of the generic type, such as a lathe or a turret lathe, usually comprises a machine frame which can be arranged with at least two rotatably mounted working spindles which face one another and have parallel or coaxial spindle axes, wherein the working spindles can receive workpieces to be machined on the machine tool. In order to provide a tool for machining, a tool holder is provided, which is usually available on a movable tool holder slide, in particular a compound slide, which is arranged at the machine frame and can be moved relative to the working spindle by means of one or more linear axes. (i.e., it can move in three directions, such as X, Y or the Z direction). Such machine tools of this type are known, for example, from EP 2714307B 1, EP 2714308B 1, EP 2714309B 1 or EP 2714310B 1.
In general, the machine tools of this type require that they be provided in order to be able to machine a workpiece efficiently with as many tools as possible simultaneously, and, if possible, to control the relative movement between the tool received on the working spindle and the tool with as high a degree of flexibility as possible, while at the same time being compact, cost-effective and of strict design, and the machining area being accessible in an optimal manner by the handler or operator of the machine tool.
One object of the present invention is to improve a machine tool of the generic type in such a way that it is possible to machine a workpiece efficiently with as many available tools at the same time, and, if possible, to control the relative movement between the tool received on the working spindle and the tool with as high a degree of flexibility as possible, while at the same time the machine tool is compact and likewise cost-effective and is of a strict design, and the machining area is accessible in an optimum manner by the handler or operator of the machine tool.
