In a workpiece loader device, a loader mechanism is configured to move a loader hand directly held by operator's hands to a desired position. A loader mechanism control part stores position coordinates as workpiece receiving position coordinates when the loader hand is moved by operator's hands to the workpiece receiving position and a completion of moving is confirmed.

A machine tool includes: two Y-axis sliders arranged parallel to each other on the bed for allowing the saddle to move in the first direction; two X-axis sliders arranged parallel to each other on the saddle to move the table; and a controller. The controller, before controlling a first motor to move the saddle, controls a second motor to move the table so that the centroid position of a moving object assembly including the table and a loaded object placed on the table is positioned in a predetermined range including the center position between the two Y-axis sliders.

The machine tool includes a workpiece carrier assembly arranged for horizontal movement in parallel to a horizontal axis and a tool carrier configured for carrying at least one tool for machining at least one workpiece by rotating the tool. The workpiece carrier assembly or the tool carrier is displaceable between an operative position in which a workpiece carrier is facing the tool carrier, and at least one inoperative position. The workpiece carrier is arranged to be rotatable to allow for a modification of the angular position of the workpiece in relation to the tool carrier.

Provided is a machine tool including: a bed; a work-table which is provided to the bed; a moving device provided to the bed; a spindle head provided to the moving device; at least a vertical main spindle provided to the spindle head, the vertical main spindle extending in the vertical direction; and at least a horizontal main spindle provided to the spindle head, the horizontal main spindle extending in a horizontal direction.

The present disclosure involves occasions where precise two-dimensional motion takes place, and is applicable to XY motion stages for precise displacement compensation. The present disclosure particularly involves a stiffness-frequency adjustable XY micromotion stage based on stress stiffening, which includes X-direction and Y-direction motion sub-stages and corresponding drivers and a micromotion working table. The micromotion stage uses membrane sets that have tension levels thereof adjusted by bolts as a flexible hinge, so as to achieve independent adjustment of the vibration frequency of the XY micromotion stage. The present disclosure implements the foregoing configuration based on prestressed membrane, so the frequency is adjustable. The inherent frequency of the micromotion stage can be adjusted before or during operation according to various working conditions and driving frequency. The two feed motion direction are perpendicular so as to prevent the micromotion working table from coupling during two-dimensional motion.

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 machine tool for machining semi-finished aluminum or titanium alloy products has a supporting structure, an upright, a carriage and a working head. The supporting structure has a bench and a rear support rigidly connected to each other. The bench extends along a longitudinal direction, while the rear support extends both along the longitudinal direction and along a vertical direction. The supporting structure is provided with upright translation elements. The upright is connected to the supporting structure by the upright translation elements so as to translate along the longitudinal direction and is provided with carriage translation elements. The carriage is connected to the upright by the carriage translation elements so as to be translatable along the vertical direction. The machine tool has a first pair of carriage moving ratio motors and a second pair of carriage moving ratio motors positioned aboard the upright and engaging the carriage translation elements.
