MACHINE TOOL FOR COMPLEX MACHINING

摘要

A machine tool comprising a table on which a spindle holding the workpiece moves in horizontal direction along the workpiece. A tool post is sidewardly movable toward the table. An arbor head is connected to the end of the post and is both axially and circumferentially movable. The arbor head includes a powered arbor for holding and possibly rotating a tool. The result is that the workpiece is movable in one direction and the arbor support is movable in two other orthogonal directions as well as being rotatable. Thereby, a variety of complex machining operations may be performed. A tool magazine and an automatic tool changer are provided.
