ABSTRACT:
A machining center, particularly adapted for automated turning of workpieces, includes a headstock with one or more rotatably mounted spindles located in spaced generally horizontal alignment with drive means connected to rotate the spindles independently of each other as necessary. Automatic chucks or collets are mounted on and driven by each spindle. A bed supporting a power-driven cross slide extends across the axis of the spindle and at one end substantially beyond, in an offset T configuration, defining one or more machining areas between the chucks and one end of the bed. A ram carrying one or more tools, and mounted on the slide parallel to the spindle axes, faces into the machining area. A ram drive moves it toward and away from the chuck to maneuver a tool with respect to workpieces. Barriers including interconnected top, side and end walls define machine rooms isolating the headstock, bed, slide, all of the drives and all but the one end of the ram from a machining area occupied by the chuck(s) and tool holder. The rooms encompass the range of movement of the one end of said ram as the slide is traversed along the bed. Doors in the rooms allow loading and unloading of workpieces.
