MACHINE TOOL PROVIDED WITH PALLET CHANGING MODULE

摘要

The invention relates to a machine tool (10), in particular to cutting machine tools. The inventive machine tool comprises at least two machining modules (12) provided with at least one spindle (14) with a horizontally oriented axis and at least one clamping module (24) having a tooling surface for at lest one part which is horizontally oriented and rotatable around a vertical axis. Said clamping module (24) comprises means (26) for a rigid coupling thereof to the machining module (12). One or several clamping modules (24) and/or machining modules are provided with at least one fictive midplane which is parallel with respect to the spindle axis. Said machine tool (10) also comprises at least one pallet changing module (28) which is connected to the clamping module (24) asymmetrically with respect to said midplane.
