Abstract

A machining system with a configuration in which working machines, including a machine tool such as a lathe, are configured to be disposed in a line and multiple working machines perform operations on one work in order such that practical utility of the machining system is enhanced. The machining system includes a base; and multiple working machine modules which are mounted on the base and are arranged in an arrangement direction, and has a configuration in which each of the multiple working machine modules is capable of being drawn out from the base along a track extending in an intersecting direction intersecting with the arrangement direction.

Claims (14)

1. A machining system comprising:

a base; and

multiple working machine modules which are mounted on the base and arranged in an arrangement direction,

wherein the multiple working machine modules include one or more machine tool modules, each of the multiple working machine modules configured to be drawn out from the base along a track extending in an intersecting direction that intersects with the arrangement direction, wherein

a coolant tank that contains coolant is provided in the base,

the base includes a reception port that receives coolant discharged from one of the multiple working machine modules, and

the reception port retracts into the base when the one of the multiple work machine modules is drawn out from the base along the track.

2. The machining system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reception port is provided protruding on the base, and provides the coolant discharged from the one of the multiple working machine modules to the coolant tank, and

wherein the base includes a reception port retracting mechanism that retracts the reception port so as to avoid interference with the reception port when the one of the multiple working machine modules is drawn out.

3. The machining system according to claim 2 ,

wherein, a module fixing mechanism that fixes each working machine module at a fixing position set in the intersecting direction is provided for each of the multiple working machine modules, and the reception port retracting mechanism is configured to retract the reception port linked with the release of the fixing of the one of the multiple working machine modules by the module fixing mechanism.

4. The machining system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the base is configured to receive shavings produced in an operating space in which an operation is performed on a work by the one of the multiple working machine modules, into the inside of the base itself, and the machining system includes a shavings discharge device which discharges the shavings received in the base from a side surface of the base.
