ABSTRACT:
A multiple-purpose machine tool wherein two spaced-apart upright frame members support three horizontal guide members which are disposed one above the other. The uppermost and lowermost guide members support two disks which are adjustable lengthwise thereof and flank an indexible drum for a group of equally spaced work clamping devices. The disks support the drum for indexing movement about a horizontal axis but prevent the drum from moving axially. Each guide member supports, at each side of the drum, several carriages each having a main slide which is movable lengthwise and a cross slide which is movable transversely of the respective guide member. At least some cross slides carry discrete motors which can rotate the respective tools and at least some clamping devices can be rotated by a drive which derives motion from the main prime mover of the machine tool. The indexing mechanism for the drum has a separate prime mover, and this separate prime mover can transmit motion to drives for the slides of the carriages.
