A machine tool comprises a tool carrier moveable relative to a workpiece to be machined. A controller controls the relative movement of the tool carrier and the workpiece by means of a control program. If an unplanned event occurs during the operational movement of the machine, the relative movement of the tool and the workpiece is stopped, and a restart from a starting position is carried out later. The starting position is in this case approached along a trajectory, and the trajectory is determined automatically as a function of the machining operation in which the unplanned event occurred.

Machine tool and method for operating a machine tool

A machine tool comprises a working area, closed by walls and a roof covering, in which a device for receiving a work piece is arranged, and a headstock with a main spindle is arranged, into which tools for machining the work piece can be clamped. Device and headstock are movable relatively to each other. In a front wall an opening lockable by a door leads into the working area. At least one part of the roof covering is movable between two positions in such a way that it locks the working area to the top in a first position and releases same to the top for loading in a second position.

A machine tool comprises a turntable that has a table plate, pivotable about a rotation axis with respect to a machine frame, onto the upper side of which lead lines, coming from beneath the table plate, that are connected to stationary supply connections. The lines are attached to the table plate from below, by means of downward-pointing connector pieces that are joined nonrotatably to the table plate in its center region, in such a way that they hang freely downward.

Machine tool having a turntable

The machine tool includes a spindle rotor, a tool receptacle and a clamp for clamping a tool in the tool receptacle. The clamp is moveable in the direction of the spindle axis by a spindle drive which is actuated by rotation of the spindle rotor. A spreading member is provided in the tool receptacle for positive gripping and clamping of the tool. The spindle drive preferably includes an externally threaded section on the spreading member and an internally threaded section on the tool receptacle, the latter being non-rotatably joined with the spindle rotor.

A holder for a tool comprises a tapered hollow shaft, having an upper opening, for clamping into a tool receptacle, and a coolant tube arranged in the interior of the tapered hollow shaft for delivery of coolant to the tool. The coolant tube comprises an inlet opening for coolant, facing the upper opening, as well as an upper tube section having a cylindrical outer enveloping surface with which, when the holder is clamped into the tool receptacle, a sealing ring, which is arranged in a delivery tube for coolant which then at least partly overlaps the coolant tube, is in contact. A cover for the inlet opening is provided, which prevents chips from getting into the coolant tube. In addition, a further tube section, the outside diameter of which is smaller than that of the upper tube section, adjoins the upper tube section at the bottom. Upon coupling of the holder, the sealing ring is located in the region of the further tube section, and is not brought into sealing contact with the enveloping surface of the upper tube section until clamping occurs.
