MACHINING CENTER AND WORKPIECE PROCESSING METHOD
A machining center is provided with: a base; a table that supports a workpiece; a main-shaft head that causes a tool to rotate around an axis of rotation of a main-shaft; a Z-axis drive device that causes the table to move with respect to the base along a Z axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the main-shaft; a W-axis drive device that causes the main-shaft head to move with respect to the base along a W axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the main-shaft; and a control device that controls the Z-axis drive device and the W-axis drive device so as to cause the tool to process the workpiece by causing the table and the main-shaft head to move along the Z axis and the W axis, respectively.
