Lathe for simultaneous machining of two workpieces

摘要

In a multi-spindle lathe, the centers of the spindles are arranged offset one above the other at right angles to the plane of the bed slide and the chucks are arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the lathe. Each turret is fitted on a cross slide, the pivot axes of the turrets likewise running one above the other transversely of the plane of the bed slide, corresponding to the spindle centers. Due to these measures, the lathe is of relative small construction and offers the advantage that the cutting process can easily be observed and that there are no space problems as regards the turrets.
