The present invention relates to a transport device (100) for transporting one or more handling devices, each for handling a pallet (300) and/or a workpiece (1) on a machine tool (1000) which is set up on a base surface for machining the workpiece (1), wherein the transport device (100) is freely movable on the base surface for positioning the one or more handling devices relative to the machine tool (1000), in particular within a region in front and/or next to the machine tool (1000) and/or in front and/or next to a working space of the machine tool (1000).

A machine tool includes a base, a table, a main spindle, and a trunnion unit. The table is installed on the base. A tool is mounted to the main spindle. The main spindle is caused to approach a workpiece on the table along an up-down direction. The trunnion unit is configured to rotatably hold the table on which the workpiece is placed using a rotation axis along a front-rear direction as a center. The trunnion unit is disposed movable in a right-left direction.

A control device for a machine tool to efficiently and successively produce a plurality of different-shaped products is provided. In the control device, each driving shaft of modules is assigned to different control systems. The device includes a multi-system program storage part for storing a plurality of multi-system programs to machine a workpiece in different shapes, a multi-system program dividing part for dividing the multi-system programs into machining programs, a divided program storage part for storing the divided machining programs individually, a system-based program storage part for storing the machining programs each corresponding to each of the control systems, and a machining program selection part for selecting a predetermined machining program from the divided program storage part in accordance with the machining step to be performed and for alternately storing the selected machining programs in two program storage parts of the system-based program storage part for the respective control systems.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for chamfering at least one edge of the gearing at the front side of a workpiece having internal gearing comprising at least one rotatably supported workpiece holder for holding the workpiece and comprising at least one rotatably supported tool holder for holding at least one chamfer hob, possibly a chamfer cut hob, wherein the tool holder is arranged and/or arrangeable next to a workpiece held in the workpiece holder and a chamfer hob held in the tool holder is arrangeable by means of a tool arbor in the region of the center opening of the workpiece formed by the internal gearing to be brought into engagement with an edge of the internal gearing on the upper side and/or on the lower side of the workpiece.

Provided is a lathe capable of facilitating the act of collecting chips around the tool post. The first tool post is movably supported on the side of the supporting bed. The first tool post driving unit moves the first tool post in a first axis direction perpendicular to an axis of a first spindle. The second headstock driving unit moves the second headstock in a second axis direction perpendicular to the axis of the first spindle and oblique to the first axis direction. The second tool post holding the second tool is in a position not overlapping the plurality of first tools in a third axis direction and in a position that the second tool and part of the second tool post on an extension of the second tool overlap the plurality of first tools in the direction of the axis of the first spindle.

Wheel machining equipment is provided, including a first-stage turning system used for carrying out first-stage turning of a wheel, a high-precision connection system used for carrying out high-precision positioning conversion from first-stage turning to second-stage turning, and a second-stage turning system used for carrying out second-stage turning of the wheel. A wheel machining method is also provided.

A machine tool comprises a machine frame, a first spindle having a first workholder rotatable about a first axis, a second spindle having a second workholder rotatable about a second axis, a first tool carrier for machining one side of a workpiece in the first spindle, and a second tool carrier for machining a different side of a workpiece in the second spindle. The second spindle is arranged on a spindle carrier movable relative to the machine frame, using a carriage system, in parallel with and transversely to the first axis. The second workpiece spindle is pivotal on the spindle carrier, using a pivoting device, about a pivot axis that extends perpendicularly to a movement plane. The second tool carrier is positioned on a guide carriage movable relative to the machine frame in parallel with the pivot axis. A drag frame conveyor is provided to feed or transport workpieces.

A control device for a machine tool to efficiently and successively produce a plurality of different-shaped products is provided. In the control device, each driving shaft of modules is assigned to different control systems. The device includes a multi-system program storage part for storing a plurality of multi-system programs to machine a workpiece in different shapes, a multi-system program dividing part for dividing the multi-system programs into machining programs, a divided program storage part for storing the divided machining programs individually, a system-based program storage part for storing the machining programs each corresponding to each of the control systems, and a machining program selection part for selecting a predetermined machining program from the divided program storage part in accordance with the machining step to be performed and for alternately storing the selected machining programs in two program storage parts of the system-based program storage part for the respective control systems.

A machining centre includes a base supporting several superposed stages. At least one stage is movable and can be position indexed relative to the base. Each stage includes distinct stations at a constant angular pitch including machining units or grippers. The combination of stations from adjacent stages defines a plurality of machining locations each combining a unit and a gripper. Each relative movement between two indexing positions of two stages changes the composition of the locations. Each gripper has at least one rotational degree of freedom relative to the stage that carries it. At least one station includes both at least one machining unit and at least one gripper.

The present invention relates to a transport device (100) for receiving one or more module units having machine tool accessory devices and for transporting the one or more received module units to a machine tool (1000) set up on a base surface for use of the machine tool accessory devices of the one or more received module units on the machine tool (1000), wherein the transport device (100) is freely movable on the base surface for positioning the one or more received module units relative to the machine tool (1000), in particular within a region in front and/or next to the machine tool (1000) and/or in front and/or next to a working space of the machine tool (1000).
