Abstract

A machine tool includes a bed, and a table that is provided on the bed and movable in a Z-axis direction. The table includes a workpiece holder, a table base including a first support portion and a second support portion for turnably supporting the workpiece holder at positions spaced from each other in an X-axis direction, the workpiece holder being mounted on the table base, and a turning device that is provided in the first support portion, and turns the workpiece holder around a turning center axis extending in the X-axis direction. The machine tool further includes a first feeding device and a second feeding device that are provided on the bed and are connected to the first support portion and the second support portion respectively to drive the table in the Z-axis direction.

Claims (24)

1 . A machine tool comprising:

a bed; and

a table that is provided on the bed and is movable in a first axial direction parallel to a horizontal direction,

wherein the table comprises:

a workpiece holder that detachably holds a workpiece;

a table base having a first support portion and a second support portion that turnably support the workpiece holder at positions spaced from each other in a second axial direction which is parallel to the horizontal direction and orthogonal to the first axial direction, the workpiece holder being mounted on the table base; and

a turning device that is provided in the first support portion and is configured to turn the workpiece holder around a turning center axis extending in the second axial direction, and further comprising:

a first feeding device and a second feeding device that are provided on the bed and are connected to the first support portion and the second support portion respectively to drive the table in the first axial direction,

the table base including first and second table bases,

the first table base including the first support portion,

the second table base including the second support portion and is provided apart from the first table base in the second axial direction,

the table base including a first guide portion and a second guide portion that are provided on the first table base and are configured to guide the first table base along the first axial direction,

the table base including a third guide portion and a fourth guide portion that are provided on the second table base and are configured to guide the second table base along the first axial direction,

the first guide portion being arranged at a position which is displaced upward from the second guide portion and is displaced in the second axial direction from the second guide portion,

the third guide portion being arranged at a position which is displaced upward from the fourth guide portion and is displaced in the second axial direction from the fourth guide portion,

the second guide portion being arranged at a position between the first and fourth guide portions in the second axial direction,

the fourth guide portion being arranged at a position between the second and third guide portions in the second axial direction.

2 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bed has a first peripheral wall portion and a second peripheral wall portion that are provided at end portions of the bed in the second axial direction and extend in the first axial direction while forming upward rising wall shapes, and the first feeding device and the second feeding device are provided on the first peripheral wall portion and the second peripheral wall portion, respectively.

3 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first feeding device is arranged side by side with the first guide portion in the second axial direction, and the second feeding device is arranged side by side with the third guide portion in the second axial direction.

4 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the bed includes a first peripheral wall portion and a second peripheral wall portion that are provided at end portions of the bed in the second axial direction and extend in the first axial direction while forming upward rising wall shapes, a first step portion forming a step that is recessed downward from the first peripheral wall portion, and a second step portion forming a step that is recessed downward from the second peripheral wall portion,

wherein the first guide portion and the third guide portion are provided on the first peripheral wall portion and the second peripheral wall portion respectively, and

wherein the second guide portion and the fourth guide portion are provided on the first step portion and the second step portion, respectively.

5 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first table base includes a first base upper end portion provided with the first guide portion, a first base lower end portion provided with the second guide portion, and a first base intermediate portion that extends along the second axial direction from the first base upper end portion to the first base lower end portion and faces the workpiece holder in a vertical direction, and

wherein the second table base includes a second base upper end portion provided with the third guide portion, a second base lower end portion provided with the fourth guide portion, and a second base intermediate portion that extends along the second axial direction from the second base upper end portion to the second base lower end portion and faces the workpiece holder in the vertical direction.
