A cutting machine includes a holder located below a spindle to hold processing targets, and an adaptor connected to a rotation shaft to rotatably support the holder. The holder includes a first holder fixed to the adaptor and including a pin insertion hole to which a fixing pin attached to a processing target is fixed, and a second holder detachably attached to the first holder and including a pin insertion hole at a position facing the pin insertion hole. The fixing pin extends in a Y-axis direction. In the Y-axis direction, a distance between a processing target fixed to the pin insertion hole and a processing target fixed to the pin insertion hole is shorter than a length of the fixing pin.

A machine tool has at least 5 axes. A tool holder assembly permits a tool holder spindle to be displaced relative to the frame along a first axis of translation and along a second axis of translation perpendicular to the first axis of translation and implementing slides in a plane forming an angle of between +40 and +50 relative to the first axis of translation. A part holder assembly permits a part to be displaced along a third axis of translation perpendicular to the other axes of translation, about a first axis of rotation parallel to the third axis of translation and about a second axis of rotation perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. The length of the precision path connecting the part to the tool via the frame and the assemblies of the machine is less than 1600 mm.

A machining system including a base; multiple work modules arranged in an arrangement direction on the base, at least one of the multiple work modules being a processing module, which processes a work with a tool, provided with a main shaft head including a main shaft on which a tool is attached and a main shaft rotating device that rotates the main shaft; a head raising and lowering device that moves the main shaft head in a vertical direction; a head moving device that moves the main shaft head in a horizontal plane by moving it in two perpendicular directions; and a work table that holds a work; the processing module being configured so as to be pulled from the base along a path extending in an intersecting direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction.

A machine tool includes a trough which collects chips; a mobile unit which is located above the trough and moves in the longitudinal direction of the trough on a bed, is configured from a first beam member, a second beam member, and a connecting member connecting the first beam member and the second beam member, and is formed with a hollow that opens toward the trough from above; a first guide which supports the mobile unit in such a manner that the mobile unit is movable in the longitudinal direction of the trough; a second guide which faces the first guide across the trough, and supports the mobile unit in such a manner that the mobile unit is movable in the longitudinal direction of the trough; and a cradle, both ends of which are supported by the first beam member and the second beam member.

To provide a cutting apparatus capable of effectively removing swarf that scatters in a machining space, while reducing cost.

A cutting apparatus includes: a machining mechanism on which a tool for machining a workpiece is mounted; a placement base that is disposed to face the machining mechanism in a machining space and that is movable in a first direction with the workpiece placed thereon; an open/close covering member that extends in the first direction thereby to contain therein the placement base and to form at least part of the machining space; and a drive mechanism that is isolated from the machining space and that moves the placement base in the first direction.

A machine tool for implementing machining with rotation, the machine tool includes a first rotor, an enclosure, a first rail, a second rail, and a coupler. The first rotor rotates about a rotational axis. The first rotor is surrounded with the enclosure. The first rail is disposed on the first rotor. The second rail is disposed on the enclosure so as to be brought into alignment with the first rail at a rotational position. The coupler moves along the first rail and the second rail. The coupler is to engage with the first rail and the second rail in a first state and to engage with the second rail without engaging with the first rail in a second state.
