Machine tool

摘要

The invention relates to a machine tool which comprises a base (42), a fixing frame that extends from the base in a substantially vertical upright direction and has a first opening portion, and a gantry (50) that has a second opening portion and is disposed forward of a front surface of said fixing frame so as to be capable of moving forward of the fixing frame in a first horizontal direction. Furthermore, the machine tool comprises a saddle (60) that is vertically guided at said gantry (50) so as to be capable of moving vertically relative to said gantry (50), a ram (70) that is movably guided by said saddle (60) in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to said first horizontal direction, and a tool spindle (100) that is rotatably supported with respect to an axis extending along said second horizontal direction by said ram (70) and capable of mounting a tool in a front end portion.
