Abstract:
1. A machine tool for machining a workpiece, comprising: a machine column; a work spindle movable in guides along the machine column in first and second coordinate axes by means of a motor and is adapted to receive a cutting tool; and a machine bed arranged on a front end of the machine column wherein, on a top side of the machine bed, a horizontal linear guide is arranged for a workpiece table, and a linear motor for moving the workpiece table along the horizontal linear guide in a third coordinate axis, wherein a channel-like chip space is integrated in the top side of the machine bed for collecting chips accumulating when the workpiece is machined, the longitudinal axis of said channel-like chip space extending in the direction of the third coordinate axis, wherein the linear motor is arranged on the top side of the machine bed laterally and parallel to the channel-like chip space, wherein first and second guide rails of the horizontal linear guide are arranged for guiding a workpiece table on opposite sides of the linear motor, and wherein, on the top side of the machine bed, a third guide rail of the horizontal linear guide is arranged on a side of the channel-like chip space, which side is opposite to the first and second guide rails.
