Abstract:
Provided is a machining center, in particular a 5-axis milling machine, for machining an elongate workpiece, in particular a turbine blade, including an elongate machine bed extending in a longitudinal direction, a machining device movably retained on the machine bed, two clamping devices, which are retained on the machine bed in such a way that the clamping devices lie opposite each other in the longitudinal direction and which are designed to clamp the free ends of the workpiece and to rotate the clamped workpiece about a workpiece axis of rotation, wherein at least one clamping device can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the machine bed and at least one clamping device has a drive device designed to rotate the clamped workpiece, in particular a stepper motor, and a steady rest, which is retained on the machine bed and positioned between the clamping devices.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for machining an elongate workpiece,\n wherein the elongated workpiece is a turbine blade, in a machining center comprising the steps: clamping the free ends of the workpiece using the two clamping devices, wherein the workpiece is held in a center region between the two clamping devices using at least one of the two steady rests; and machining the workpiece in a region between its free ends, wherein for machining a free end of the workpiece the following steps are carried out: clamping the workpiece directly in front of the free end to be machined using one steady rest, whereas the other steady rest holds the workpiece in a center region between the two clamping devices; releasing the clamping device which holds the free end of the workpiece to be machined, and moving the clamping device away from the free end to be machined; and machining the free end of the workpiece.
