A machine tool has a clamping device for clamping in workpieces to be machined, a work spindle which is movable relative to the clamping device, a tool magazine wherein tools for machining the workpieces are held available, the tools being selectively clamped into the work spindle, and a spindle gripper to be selectively clamped into the work spindle and being self-holding in its gripping position, said spindle gripper being held available in the tool magazine and being movable between a transfer position to the work spindle and an unloading station in which the spindle gripper releases a work piece remnant received from the clamping device.

A rim drilling and milling machine has a base (10), a column (20), a turret (30), a saddle (40), a table (50), and a fixture unit (60). The fixture unit (60) has a foundation (61) and four clamping seats defined as two first clamping seats (63A) and two second clamping seats (63B). The first clamping seats (63A) are slidably mounted on the foundation (61) along a first radial direction, and are disposed at positions diametrically opposite in the first radial direction. The second clamping seats (63B) are slidably mounted on the foundation (61) along a second radial direction perpendicular to the first radial direction, and are disposed at positions diametrically opposite in the second radial direction. The four clamping seats can clamp at four equiangular points of a wheel rim.

A method of milling a profile of a railway rail comprises: rotating a milling cutter including a plurality of face mounted cutting inserts mounted about a periphery thereof, milling a railway rail with cutting edges of the cutting inserts rotating in a predetermined plane corresponding to at least a portion of a desired rail profile while controlling the depth of cut of the cutting inserts; traversing the railway rail with the milling cutter while milling the railway rail and controlling the speed of traverse of the milling cutter along the railway rail.

Provided is a mobile CNC machining machine which is designed to machine a rotor of a turbomachine, wherein the turbomachine is a rotor of a steam turbine, including an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis which are arranged perpendicular to one another, a baseplate, a stator which is arranged on the baseplate and is movable relative to the baseplate along the x-axis, and a tool module which is held on the stator and is movable along the y-axis and along the z-axis and is designed to accommodate a machining tool wherein, guided along a circular-arc-shaped convex guide disposed on the stator, the tool module is movable about a c-axis which extends parallel to the x-axis; in that the z-axis intersects the c-axis; and in that the y-axis extends tangentially to a circular path, of which the c-axis is the center point.

The invention relates to an interchangeable milling adapter (20) for a work table (60), which comprises a receptacle (21) for a milling machine (70) and an angular adjustment (22). At the same time, an angular position (WP1, WP2) of the receptacle (21) in relation to the work table can be adjusted using the angular adjustment (22). Furthermore, a work table, a milling unit and their use for adjusting a milling machine are described.

The invention discloses a double-station gantry combined machining system allowing automatic overturning of workpieces, which comprises a first mobile gantry machining unit, a second mobile gantry machining unit, an overturning platform, a first workpiece fixing table, a second workpiece fixing table and a guide rail, wherein the overturning platform is positioned between the first gantry machining unit and the second gantry machining unit. According to the invention, the system is highly integrated, continuous machining of a gantry machine tool is completed, the working efficiency is improved, and the machining cost of the system is reduced.

A machining unit for a machine tool and machine tool having such a machining unit comprises a head carrier that is attached to the machine tool, a pivot head held on the head carrier in such a way that the pivot head can be pivoted about a pivot axis, a working spindle, which is arranged on the pivot head and has a spindle axis that is tilted in relation to the pivot axis, a spindle motor, which is arranged in the head carrier and has a drive shaft arranged parallel to the pivot axis, and a drive transmission for transmitting the rotational motion of the drive shaft of the spindle motor to the working spindle, wherein the drive transmission has a transmission stage that can be shifted. The pivot head has a shifting transmission shaft that is oriented coaxially to the pivot axis of the pivot head, wherein the transmission stage that can be shifted has a hollow shaft movably supported on the shifting transmission shaft of the pivot head.
