LATHE
An NC lathe including a first spindle, a second spindle capable of holding a cut-off workpiece delivered from the first spindle, a second tool post on which a plurality of tools are attachable to machine the workpiece held by the second spindle, a product receiver provided on the second tool post, a Y2-axis motor capable of moving at least one of the second tool post and the second spindle in a Y2-axis direction, and an X2-axis motor capable of moving at least one of the second tool post and the second spindle in an X2-axis direction. The second tool post has a plurality of tool mounting parts where the tools are attachable. The tool mounting parts are aligned at intervals in the Y2-axis direction. At least one of the tool mounting parts is arranged in a position overlapping the product receiver with respect to the X2-axis direction.
MACHINE TOOL AND MACHINE TOOL CONTROL METHOD
A machine tool capable of reducing entry of a workpiece chip into a product discharge chute. A controller controls a receipt of a product made of a workpiece held by a first spindle by a product receiver in a product receiving position, movement of the product receiver to a product dropping position and rotation of the product receiver to drop the product to the product discharge chute through an opening of the product discharge chute, and movement of the product receiver to the product receiving position to receive the product again. A second spindle is kept on standby in the product dropping position during which the opening of the product discharge chute is closed by the product receiver.
Discharging plate-shaped workpiece parts that have been cut free
A machine for separative machining of a plate-shaped workpiece by a processing beam. The machine has a first movement unit for moving the workpiece in a first direction, a second movement unit for moving a processing head in a second direction, two workpiece bearing supports for bearing the workpiece, and a parts chute. The two workpiece bearing supports are separated from each other by a gap that extends along the second direction. The parts chute is movable between a first chute position and a second chute position so as to move a cut-free workpiece part that has dropped into the gap, laterally away from the gap. The machine includes a receiving unit movable in the second direction, to receive the cut-free workpiece part at a transfer position and transport the workpiece part to one or more discharging positions of the machine along the second direction.
