Abstract:
1. A machine tool configured to process one of a rotating or a non-rotating workpiece, the machine tool comprising: a workpiece holder for carrying the workpiece, the workpiece holder having one drive shaft directly driven by a drive and one adapter connector for interchangeably connecting the drive or drive shaft in a fast release connection with at least one of: a power transmission assembly for a clamping device, the clamping device being configured to directly or indirectly clamp the workpiece for machining of the non-rotating workpiece; or a chuck for directly receiving and rotating the workpiece for grinding or turning processing, the adapter connector comprising at least one of: a releasable connection, a releasable coupling, a claw coupling, and a bayonet connection; and the machine tool comprising a first use case and a second use case such that in the first use the drive or drive shaft is connected with the power transmission, with the drive being configured for the activation of the clamping device, and wherein in the second use case the drive or drive shaft is connected with the chuck for directly or indirectly receiving the workpiece for a rotational grinding or turning processing of the workpiece, with the drive being configured to drive the rotation of the chuck, wherein the machine tool is used both for machining the non-rotating work piece with a rotational machining tool and for a rotational processing of the rotating workpiece with a non-rotating tool.
