Abstract:
A milling and turning machine for operating upon and turning a rod-shaped material into individual workpieces, said machine comprising:a motor-driven spindle head and headstock movable on a stationary column along a first horizontal Y coordinate axis, said spindle head including a work spindle capable of selectively accommodating milling tools and turning tools; separating means for transversely dividing the rod-shaped material; a clamping device disposed on a console including at least one side composed of reinforcing struts that are inclined with respect to horizontal and vertical axes and with respect to each other, said console located on a vertical face of the stationary column and movable along a second coordinate axis substantially perpendicular to the Y axis, said second axis being called the Z coordinate axis, and said clamping device also disposed laterally adjacent to the workspace, said device comprising: a workpiece holder having a clamping axis extending along a horizontal coordinate axis; and a rotary drive for rotating the workpiece holder about the clamping axis; and a motor-driven slide supporting the headstock, said slide movable on the stationary column along an X coordinate axis parallel to the clamping axis and substantially perpendicular to the Y and Z axes, the spindle head being pivotable about an axis extending in the Y direction at a side of the headstock.
