Machining center with a plurality of parallel spindel units

摘要

Spindle arrangements (13a-13d) are arranged within opposing sides of a holder (23) and are closely spaced with each other. Each spindle arrangement is guided along a pair of guide rails (24) to longitudinally shift along the direction of the spindle axis (22). The guide rails define a spacing (27) wider than the diameter (28) of each spindle arrangement. A linear motor drive is included, with the primary part and/or the secondary part of the linear motor being arranged between the guide rails of a respective guide arrangement.
