Abstract
In order to use moved masses which are as small as possible in a machine tool, in particular for the rotary machining of workpieces, comprising a machine frame, a tool carrier, a workpiece carrier, it is proposed to provide a parallel kinematic arrangement, which has three parallelogram guides connected in an articulated manner at one end to a receiving means for one of the carriers and at the other end to a slide and an N/C-controlled linear drive for each slide and by which the carrier arranged on the receiving means is movable relative to the machine frame in a three-dimensional movement space.
