COMPUTER CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOL ASSEMBLY WITH MULTIPLE TAIL UNITS

摘要

A machine tool is shown having a first spindle (120) that rotates in a first axis (X2) with a first chuck (122) for holding a first end of a workpiece. A first spindle headstock (124) holds the first spindle (120) and is attached to a base (112). A first turret (130) is mounted on a first turret headstock (132) connected to the base (112) and provides for movement along a parallel axis (Xl) and a first perpendicular axis (Z) relative to the first axis (X2). A second spindle (140) rotates in the first axis (X2) and has a second chuck (142) for holding a second end of the workpiece. A second spindle headstock (144) holds the second spindle (140) and is movably connected to the base (112) to provide movement of the second spindle (140) along the first axis (X2).
