Abstract
A machine tool comprises a support structure having first and second opposite ends spaced apart along an axis, a drive assembly mounted on the support structure at the first end thereof, the drive assembly comprising at least one drive motor, and an output drive shaft coupled drivingly to the drive motor. The machine tool also comprises a machining head mounted on the support structure at the second end thereof, a tool support member mounted on the machining head and movable relative thereto, and a transmission shaft coupling the output drive shaft to the tool support member to effect movement of the tool support member. The transmission shaft extends parallel to the axis of the support structure over at least a substantial part of the distance of the first end of the support structure from the second end thereof. The machine tool also comprises feed means for effecting synchronous movement of the drive assembly and the machining head relative to the support structure in directions perpendicular to the axis of the support structure.
