Patent ID: 7384221

Claim:
A machine tool for introducing bores into a workpiece, comprising: a machine frame; a drilling tool holder, which is disposed on the machine frame and has at least one tool spindle; and a workpiece carrier which is disposed on the machine frame; wherein the workpiece carrier has a holding device for fixing the workpiece by clamping, with the workpiece being rotatable relative to the workpiece carrier about an axis of rotation; wherein the drilling tool holder and workpiece carrier are displaceable relative to one another in a displacement direction; wherein the drilling tool holder is positioned in such a way that a longitudinal direction of the at least one tool spindle is oriented transversely with respect to a horizontal plane; wherein the drilling tool holder is disposed on the machine frame such that it is pivotable relative to the workpiece carrier, so that inclined bores are introducible into the workpiece; wherein a pivot axis of the drilling tool holder intersects the axis of rotation of the workpiece; and wherein the drilling tool holder is pivotable continuously in a defined angle range about a vertical direction.
