INDEX-FEED MACHINING SYSTEM

摘要

An index-feed machining system having such a construction that a plurality of machining units (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) on the bodies of which cassettes (108) incorporating a plurality of machining means are detachably mounted are disposed at intervals of mP (m being a given positive integer, P being a workpiece-feeding pitch) in the workpiece-feeding direction, corresponding to a plurality of machining processes. The machining processes are sequentially performed by the machining units at the index-feed pitches of the workpiece. Drive means for driving the machining means are provided in the cassettes (108) comprising any machining units.
