GRUNDKOERPER EINER WERKZEUGMASCHINE

摘要

A machine tool, particularly a lathe, has three longitudinally extending, laterally spaced guides mounted on a frame to extend substantially parallel to one another. Two carriages are slidably mounted on the guides for movement therealong, the two carriages being movable in parallel directions. Each of the carriages is mounted on a respective one of the outer guides and on the central guide. The central guide is provided with guide faces arranged to provide complete guidance of each carriage in the two directions orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the guide, that it, both laterally and vertically.
