Abstract
A compact multiple-spindle machine tool has a spindle support which is rotatably mounted on a machine frame. Several work piece spindles are carried by the spindle support and may be positioned in various rotational positions when the spindle support is rotated about a rotational axis. A work piece is clamped to a spindle and can be machined by a tool in a work area. The machine frame has a bottom part which stands on a base. A stand extends upwards from the base to carry the spindle support. The work piece spindles are arranged in spindle positions around the stand. The working area for machining the work pieces which are held by the work piece spindles are also arranged around the stand.
