ABSTRACT:
A machine tool for machining a workpiece (11), the workpiece (11) being fastened to a support (9) which has its bearings in a frame (1) of the machine tool and is rotatable about an axis of rotation (13), while a tool (37) is movable relative to the workpiece (11) by means of a positioning device (35) provided on a carrier (17) of the machine tool. The carrier (17) is movably guided relative to the support (9) along a straight guide (23, 25) of the frame (1) in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation (13) by means of static fluid bearings (19, 21), so that a space easily accessible to an operator is created between the carrier (17) and the support (9) through displacement of the carrier (17). The carrier (17) can be coupled to the frame (1) by means of coupling members (51) provided with bolts (75), a head of each bolt (75 ) forming a piston (73) which can be moved in a cylinder (59), which is hinged to the carrier (17). In the operational condition of the machine tool, in which the workpiece (11) is machined with the tool (37), each bolt (75) is subjected to a tensile stress which is achieved through the supply of pressurized fluid to the cylinders (59), so that a particularly rigid coupling of the carrier (17) to the frame (1) is obtained. In particular, so-called masters for projection television screens in the form of circular Fresnel lenses of a comparatively large diameter are manufactured with these machine tools.
