ABSTRACT:
A multi-axes contouring machine for contouring a workpiece within a cavity of a main frame by moving a machining part along one or more axes simultaneously to the movement of the workpiece along one or more different axes. In an exemplary embodiment, the machining part simultaneously moves along an X and Y axis, while a workpiece moves along a Z axis. Here, the main frame comprises two adjacent side walls each having an opening cut out. A first carriage is attached to one of the side walls to move in the X direction, and a second carriage is attached to the first carriage to move in the Y direction. The machining part is actuated by the X and Y axes-oriented carriages. On another side wall, a carriage is attached to move in a Z direction, and the workpiece is actuated by the Z axis-oriented carriage.
