Abstract
054637723 The invention relates to a machine tool comprising a machine frame and at least one workpiece spindle. A workpiece can be clamped in the workpiece spindle and driven for rotation about a workpiece spindle axis into defined rotary positions by means of a numerically controlled C-axis. A support is provided on which the workpiece spindle is arranged and with which the workpiece spindle can be moved relative to the machine frame and transversely to the workpiece spindle axis into at least two spindle stations stationarily arranged with respect to the machine frame. At least one tool carrier associated with a selected one of the spindle stations is provided, which comprises a transverse-slide carrier mounted on the machine frame and having a transverse slide for a tool movable in an X direction relative to the workpiece spindle located in the selected spindle station. The transverse-slide carrier is pivotable in relation to the machine frame about a pivot axis parallel to the workpiece spindle axis by means of a pivot drive in a numerically controlled manner.
