In the internal milling machine according to the invention for milling a work piece that rotates during machining with an annular internal milling cutter () on the one hand side the Z slide () of each tool support () includes a pass through opening and on the other hand side the transversal slide () supporting the internal milling cutter () is move able in the X-direction, the running direction of the mounting surface () of the bed () wherein the mounting surface slopes downward in a forward direction. Based on this general configuration and in particular the arrangement of the Z-slides () for the at least one tool support () outside of the Z-supports () for the opposite spindle stock (') yields advantageous centers of gravity in particular of the move able components and a high level of stability of the machine and therefore high level of machining precision of the machine.

Internal milling machine

A method is proposed for controlling tool change operations on a machine tool, wherein a machining procedure on a workpiece includes a sequence of machining operations having in each case a particular tool and in each case a particular duration, and for a tool change, tools of a tool spindle are provided by a second storage device in communication with a first storage device, and wherein there is associated with the machining procedure a sequence of tool provision operations in which a tool provision operation has in each case a particular duration, wherein the method includes a determination stage wherein the durations of the machining operations and the tool provision operations are determined, and a control stage wherein the tool provision operations are temporally grouped in relation to the machining operations such that the tool provision operations bring about a minimized idle time in the machining procedure.

Method for controlling tool change operations and machine tool

In order to provide a machine tool with at least one movable slide, which has a plurality of holders for tools and/or workpieces, and which can be corrected in a simple manner, the at least one slide has a plurality of separate subslides and the relative position of the subslides in relation to one another is adjustable in a securable manner.
