Machine tool and a base for a machine tool comprising a machine bed to support a first work module having a first end effector held thereon, and a second work module having a second end effector held thereon on a base surface in an area between two mutually opposed sides which delimit the machine bed, the sides extending between an underside of the machine bed and an upper side of the machine bed, when viewed in the vertical direction; a first bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the first work module; and a second bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the second work module; wherein the first bearing element and the second bearing element are arranged one above the other, when viewed in the vertical direction.

The machine tool has a machine bed having a first horizontal linear guide and a second horizontal linear guide arranged at right angles to the first linear guide. On the first linear guide is arranged, in an axially displaceable manner, a workpiece clamping fixture, which is swivelable about a swivel axis oriented parallel to the second linear guide and is rotatable about a rotation axis oriented at right angles to the swivel axis. On the second linear guide a toque motor driven swivel arm is axially displaceable, the swivel axis of which is arranged parallel to the first linear guide and which on its free end bears a tool spindle, the axis of which is oriented parallel to the first linear guide.

A cutting machine is provided, including: a cutting table having a first end and a second end aligned along an X-axis; a cutting tool gantry configured to cut parts from plate supported on the cutting table, the cutting tool gantry spanning the cutting table in a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis and being configured to travel along the X-axis between the first end and the second end; and a part transfer apparatus configured to remove cut parts from the cutting table, the part transfer apparatus being configured to travel along the X-axis between the first end and the second end, wherein the part transfer apparatus is able to pass underneath the cutting tool gantry while travelling along the X-axis. Methods of manufacturing and storing parts are also provided, along with a method of identifying when a part is in contact with a finishing apparatus.

A machine tool is provided with two vertically oriented tool spindles that are arranged to hold tools and that are movable vertically in a first direction and horizontally in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Furthermore, the machine tool is provided with two workpiece support devices for clamping workpieces in place. At least one of the two workpiece support devices is movable horizontally in a third direction orthogonal to the first and the second direction. The two tool spindles and the two workpiece support devices are mounted on a common machine frame with a common working space, wherein the two tool spindles are movable parallel to one another in the second direction. The two tool spindles are facing one another.

In the internal milling machine according to the invention for milling a work piece that rotates during machining with an annular internal milling cutter (5) on the one hand side the Z slide (4a, b) of each tool support (3a, b) includes a pass through opening and on the other hand side the transversal slide (7) supporting the internal milling cutter (5) is move able in the X-direction, the running direction of the mounting surface (1a) of the bed (1) wherein the mounting surface slopes downward in a forward direction. Based on this general configuration and in particular the arrangement of the Z-slides (6a, b) for the at least one tool support (3a, b) outside of the Z-supports (16a, b) for the opposite spindle stock (2′) yields advantageous centers of gravity in particular of the move able components and a high level of stability of the machine and therefore high level of machining precision of the machine.
