Abstract
A machine tool is provided which is constructed so that a table pivot mechanism and cables such as a power supply line connected to the pivot mechanism are protected from chips and a coolant. The machine tool comprises: a column movable along the X-axis on a bed ( ); a main spindle ( ) supported by the column via a spindle head and vertically movable along the Y-axis; and a rotatable table ( ) which is movable back and forth with respect to the main spindle ( ) along the Z-axis on the bed ( ). The table ( ) is pivotally supported by a table frame which is movable along the Z-axis along slideways provided on the bed ( ). A pivot mechanism such as including a servo motor and a reduction gear mechanism for pivoting the table ( ) is provided on an outer side of the table frame. The bed ( ) has a center trough in which a chip conveyer ( ) is provided. The slideways and the table pivot mechanism are completely separated from a machining space by movable covers ( ).
