A machining unit for machining, in particular turning and/or milling, workpieces, in particular elongate workpieces, in particular shafts, includes a machining tool. The machining tool can be moved along at least two different, in particular combined, motion paths in a motion plane. The machining until also includes at least one drive unit, which is designed for moving the machining tool along a first motion path and along a second motion path, which is different from the first motion path, possibly in a combined manner.

A processing device with a processing head including a processing unit designed as a tool and/or applicator unit, in particular a printer unit, and a first positioning device for moving the processing head in order to position the processing unit with a first accuracy at a specified processing position. The processing head has a second positioning device and the processing device is adapted to position the processing unit at the specified processing position with a second accuracy using the second positioning device, the second accuracy being higher than the first accuracy, so that the lower accuracy of the first positioning device is compensated for by the positioning with the second positioning device.

A mobile machine tool includes a main body, a machine bed head, and an end effector. The main body permits the machine tool to stand on the ground. The machine bed head is cantilevered relative to the main body. The end effector is guided on the machine bed head by a positioning system. The machine bed head is attached to the main body by a mechanically overdetermined frame.

A support system to support a workpiece in a rotary machine, the system including a first block member configured to be selectively secured to a system base, at least one lever member having a proximal end rotatably coupled to the first block member, a roller member mounted to a distal end of the at least one lever member, and a variable pressure member coupled to the at least one lever member and configured to rotate the at least one lever member such that the roller member is moved to a desired height.

An automatic lathe includes a positioning block that positions a rod material, the rod material projecting from a main spindle contacting the positioning block, and a sensor that moves in a direction intersecting with a shaft center C direction of the main spindle to detect a cut off condition of the rod material. The positioning block includes a groove that allows movement of the sensor, and moves in the same direction as a movement direction of the sensor between a position that contacts the rod material and a position that has no contact with the rod material. The sensor moves along the path in the position that has no contact with the rod material.

A machine tool includes a main spindle movably supported in an axial direction, and two gang tool posts disposed opposed to each other with an axis of the main spindle located therebetween. Each of the two gang tool posts is supported movably in X and Y directions that are perpendicular to the axial direction of the main spindle. Each of the two gang tool posts is provided with tools arranged parallel to each other in the Y direction. One of the two gang tool posts is movably disposed in a Z direction that is a same direction as the axial direction of the main spindle. Any one of the two gang tool posts is integrally provided with a turning tool base that turnably supports tools about a Y-axis along the Y direction.

The processing head has a second positioning device and the processing device is adapted to position the processing unit at the specified processing position with a second accuracy using the second positioning device, the second accuracy being higher than the first accuracy, so that the lower accuracy of the first positioning device is compensated for by the positioning with the second positioning device.

A machine tool with a machine bed, on the upper side of which a machine stand is arranged, a working spindle which can be displaced in a first, second, and third direction of movement with is mounted with the spindle sleeve. The spindle sleeve includes a sleeve housing which is guided along guide rails which are arranged on the machine stand and can be moved axially in the first direction and the working spindle supporting the tool can be moved in and out of the sleeve housing in the same direction of movement.

An automatic lathe includes a positioning block that positions a rod material, the rod material projecting from a main spindle contacting the positioning block, and a sensor that moves in a direction intersecting with a shaft center C direction of the main spindle to detect a cut off condition of the rod material. The positioning block includes a groove that allows movement of the sensor, and moves in the same direction as a movement direction of the sensor between a position that contacts the rod material and a position that has no contact with the rod material. The sensor moves along the path in the position that has no contact with the rod material.
