Abstract

A method for introducing recesses in workpiece surfaces to be machined, with the aid of at least one tool. The invention is characterized in that two workpiece surfaces that face each other are simultaneously machined using the tool in order to introduce recesses into said workpiece surfaces.

Claims (14)

1. A method for inserting recesses in work piece surfaces to be machined with the aid of at least one tool, the method comprising:

providing two changeable supports with two work piece receivers facing each other and one machine bed, which extends in a x-y plane between the changeable supports, the changeable supports each comprise two work piece receivers facing away from each other,

processing two work piece surfaces facing each other simultaneously with the tool, and

inserting the recesses in the work piece surfaces by machining.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising simultaneously processing the two work piece surfaces facing each other by two tool surfaces of the tool facing away from each other.

3. A system for inserting recesses in work piece surfaces to be processed with the aid of at least one tool, the system comprising two changeable supports with two work piece receivers facing each other and one machine bed, which extends in a x-y plane between the changeable supports, wherein the changeable supports each comprise two work piece receivers facing away from each other.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the work piece receivers are each rotational about a respective rotary axis, the rotary axes are arranged perpendicular in reference to an x-direction and parallel in reference to a y-direction.

5. A system for inserting recesses in work piece surfaces to be processed with the aid of at least one tool, the system comprising two changeable supports with two work piece receivers facing each other and one machine bed, which extends in a x-y plane between the changeable supports, and the tool is movable in a translational fashion in at least one of:

(a) a positive and negative x-direction between and through a position of the changeable supports, or

(b) a positive and negative y-direction back and forth between the changeable supports.

6. A system for inserting recesses in work piece surfaces to be processed with the aid of at least one tool, the system comprising two changeable supports with two work piece receivers facing each other and one machine bed, which extends in a x-y plane between the changeable supports, and at least one of:

(a) the tool is rotational about an axis of rotation, which is arranged perpendicular in reference to the x-y plane, or

(b) the changeable supports are rotational about respective axes of rotation, which are arranged perpendicular in reference to the x-y plane.

7. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the changeable supports are movable towards and away from each other in a y-direction.
