Patent ID: 8647033

Claim:
Machine tool for machining a work piece having a main spindle unit ( 4 ) with a main spindle axis (C), and a machining spindle unit ( 5 ) with a machining spindle axis (A) arranged next to the spindle axis in a direction crosswise to the spindle axis to accommodate a machining tool ( 30 ), with said machining spindle unit ( 5 ) being displaceable along a first guiding direction (Z) by means of a first guide ( 10 ) and being crosswise displaceable along a second guiding direction (X) by means of a second guide ( 12 ), said machining spindle unit ( 5 ) being capable to advance to a work piece clamped in the main spindle unit ( 4 ), and said machining spindle unit ( 5 ) being capable to swivel around a swivel axis (B) perpendicular to the spindle axis (A) of the machining spindle unit ( 5 ), and with the machining tool ( 30 ) having an arbitrary number of helically arranged machining elements adapted to execute generating teeth manufacturing methods, whereby said machining spindle ( 5 ) is advanced to a clamped work piece by means of a third guide ( 14 ) perpendicular to the second guide ( 12 ), parallel to the spindle axis (A) of the machining spindle unit ( 5 ), wherein the third guide ( 14 ) is swiveled together with the machining spindle unit ( 5 ).
