Abstract
In order to improve a machine tool comprising at least one hydraulic drive for working motion or rapid motion operation connected via a supply pipe to a high-pressure network supplied by a high-pressure pump so that the drives can be operated with high pressure for working motion and to a substantial degree with low pressure for rapid motion, it is proposed that a low-pressure network supplied by a low-pressure pump be provided for operating the drive for rapid motion, that a flow-limiting member be arranged between the high-pressure network and the supply pipe for bringing about a pressure drop in the supply pipe during the rapid motion by limiting the flow of a hydraulic medium under high pressure and for maintaining the high pressure to a substantial degree during the working motion, and that the low-pressure network be connected to the supply pipe via a check valve which is open on account of the pressure drop during the rapid motion and closed during the working motion.
