OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000003237 Machine tool Published: 2026-09-15T19:54:22.113404Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000003237 Categories: Manufacturing & Assembly Equipment > Machining Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A machine tool more particularly for drilling and milling, possesses a machine bed, on which a power driven longitudinal slide is adapted to run horizontally on rails. A machining head having a rotary drive device for at least one table forming part of said head, is power moved on the longitudinal slide in at least one further direction movement. The machine bed possesses two spaced lateral walls, on which the longitudinal slide is at least partly guided and whose intermediate space is designed in the form of a machining zone. On each of the two lateral walls a fastening point is provided for at least one pivoting work holding device, the two fastening points being aligned in a horizontal line, which defines a pivot axis, athwart the longitudinal direction of the guide rails. In such an arrangement the work holding means is readily accessible and is easy to service and furthermore may be simply replaced. Materials such as shavings, lubricant and coolant are substantially prevent from reaching the bearings and drive means. 1. Drawings [0001] Sheet 1. [0002] Sheet 2. [0003] Sheet 3. [0004] Sheet 4.
