NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED THREE-AXIS POWER UNIT, IN PARTICULAR FOR TRANSFER MACHINES AND FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

摘要

1. A numerical-control three-axis machining unit (X, Y, Z) provided as a component module of a flexible machining system such as a flexible workshop or a transfer machine, of the type comprising a fixed bed (o) provided with slides (1, X), a vertical support member (3), a head member (5) through which passes a spindle (8)-carrier slider (6, Z) guided in the head member (5), a rotary magazine (7) for a tool assembly (9) which is mounted on the head member (5) and which is capable of being traversed by the slider (6) to permit the slider (6) to take from or return to the magazine (7) a tool assembly (9) which is disposed on the path of movement thereof, and on the fixed bed (o) a face (2) for coupling to a flexible machining system, characterised in that said head member (5) is mounted movably vertically on slides (4, Y) of the double-up-right support member (3), that the axis of the slider (6) is horizontal, that said support member is entrained in the direction of the third axis (X) horizontally on the slides (1, X) of the bed (o), and that said rotary magazine (7) surrounds said support member (3).
