ABSTRACT:
A machine tool is equipped with a machine bed (10) and a carriage (23) of a headstock which is guided linearly on the said bed. To this end, the machine bed is provided with a guide rail (11), while the carriage (23) is equipped with a shoe (20) running on the guide rail (11) in form-locking engagement. The shoe (20) and the guide rail (11) engage each other by flat sliding surfaces (51 to 56) formed by the surfaces (51, 53, 55) of plastic sliding pads (46, 48, 50) and by metallic surfaces (52, 54, 56). The guide rail (11) has a narrower lower portion (15) and a wider upper portion (16) comprising a projection (17) extending laterally beyond the lower portion (15). The shoe (20) is split along a horizontal plane (40) and has its upper part (30) guided by the upper face of the projection (17) and its lower part guided by the lower face of the projection (17) (FIG. 3).
