FIXED SUPPORT FOR PARTS IN MACHINE TOOLS
A fixed carrier for machine tool parts includes a table frame and a table having a first face That can hold a first part to be machined, the first face being fixed above a machining device and the first part being stationary during the machining process. The table also has a second face for holding steady a second part to be machined.
1 . A fixed workpiece support for machine tools, comprising a table frame and a table comprising a first face capable of holding a first workpiece to be machined, said first face being fixedly positioned above a machining device, and said first workpiece being immobile during the machining process, wherein the table also comprises a second face capable of holding immobile a second workpiece to be machined.
2 . The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the table is reversible such as to render the two faces interchangeable.
3 . The support as claimed claim 1 , wherein the table is positioned in the table frame, which comprises an opening tailored to the dimensions of the table, such that the first workpiece is machined on one face and the second workpiece is prepared on the other face.
4 . The support as claimed claim 1 , comprising means for fastening the table such as to immobilize the table on the table frame during the machining operation.
5 . The support as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the fastening means comprise flanges and/or locks and/or locking keys and/or bearing points.
6 . The support as claimed claim 1 , wherein the table comprises an axis of rotation which is substantially parallel to the faces of the table and whose axis-defining pivot is mounted on bearings fastened to said table.
7 . The support as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a cross section of the opening of the table frame, perpendicular to the axis of rotation, is a circular arc centered on said axis.
8 . The support as claimed claim 1 , comprising sealing means between the table and the table frame.
