MACHINE TOOL HAVING WORK RECEIVING/DELIVERING DEVICE

摘要

A machine tool (10) including a main spindle (14) having a work mounting section (18) on which work (W) is mounted, a structure placed close to the main spindle, a main spindle moving mechanism (20) capable of moving the main spindle in the direction of approaching the structure and in the direction of separating from the structure, and a work receiving/delivering device (28) for receiving and delivering the work from and to the work mounting section of the main spindle. The work receiving/delivering device has a support section (34) capable of releasably supporting the work at a receiving/delivery position facing the work mounting section. The main spindle moving mechanism has a retreating stroke (T) for forming a space (S) in which the support section can support the work at the receiving/delivering position.
