Machine tool
A tool holding part holds two boring bars in a manner in which axes of the boring bars are parallel to a spindle axis. A tool change mechanism has a circular arc movement mechanism in which the boring bar moves from a tool holding position to a tool change position by at least a circular arc movement on a plane surface including an axis of the spindle in the tool change position and an axis of the boring bar positioned in the tool holding part.
1. A machine tool having a tool changer, comprising:
a tool holding part holding a plurality of tools; and
a tool change mechanism changing a tool held by the tool holding part and a tool clamped by a spindle,
wherein the tool holding part is positioned in a side of the spindle to hold the plurality of tools in a manner in which axes of the tools are parallel to an axis of the spindle,
the tool change mechanism includes a circular arc movement mechanism,
the circular arc movement mechanism moves the tools from a tool holding position to a tool change position at which the tool is coaxial with the axis of the spindle, by at least a circular arc movement on a plane on which the axis of the spindle positioned in the tool change position and an axis of the tool positioned in the tool holding part are arranged,
the tool position is different for each of the tools,
a dividing wall is formed between the tool change mechanism and the spindle,
the dividing wall includes an opening which is closed by a shutter, and
the circular arc movement mechanism moves the tools in the circular arc movement through the opening when the shutter opens the opening.
2. The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the tool change mechanism includes a linear movement mechanism which linearly moves the tool in the direction of the axis of the tool at least before the circular arc movement.
3. The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the tool is a boring bar which performs for long boring process.
