Machine tool with feed and removal device
A machine tool has a tool spindle which can be moved in an x-direction and a y-direction and a workpiece slide which can be moved in the z-direction and has a swiveling table which can be pivoted about an A-axis which is parallel to the x-axis. A feed and removal device is provided, which has an H-shaped pallet changing mechanism, which can be pivoted about a y1-axis which is parallel to the y-direction, a y1-pivot drive and a lift drive for displacing the pallet changing mechanism from a lower feed and removal position into a central pallet depositing position and into an upper pallet lifting out position.
1. A machine tool,
with a tool spindle which is movable in a horizontal x-direction and a vertical y-direction,
with a workpiece slide which is movable in a horizontal z-direction which is perpendicular to the x-direction and y-direction,
which workpiece slide has a swiveling table which is pivotable about a horizontal A-axis which is parallel to the x-axis, and which swiveling table is designed to receive a workpiece pallet,
with a feed and removal device,
which feed and removal device has an H-shaped pallet changing mechanism which is pivotable about a y1-axis which is parallel to the vertical y-direction, and which H-shaped pallet-changing mechanism has two pairs of spaced apart and mutually parallel arms, which arms are provided with supports for a pallet,
which feed and removal device has a y1-pivot drive for pivoting the pallet changing mechanism about the y1-axis, and
which feed and removal device has a lift drive for displacing the pallet changing mechanism from a lower position into a central pallet depositing position and into an upper pallet lifting out position, and
wherein the workpiece slide includes a free space which is formed below the swiveling table and which is formed to receive a part of a pair of the arms of the pallet changing mechanism in its lower position.
2. A machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein centering pins and centering bores are provided to engage each pallet and the supports with one another.
3. A machine tool according to claim 2 , wherein clamping mechanisms which are engageable with receivers on the pallets, are formed on the swiveling table.
4. A machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein clamping mechanisms, which are engageable with receivers on the pallets, are formed on the swiveling table.
