ABSTRACT:
A multiple-spindle machine wherein two upright or horizontal frame members support two spaced-apart coaxial carriers for sets of work spindles. Each spindle of one carrier is aligned with a spindle of the other carrier, and the carriers are indexible in synchronism with each other by a mechanism which also serves to move carriages for turning, grinding, milling and/or other types of tools. The carriages are mounted on several elongated guide members which extend between and are connected to the frame members. Each work spindle can be provided with a chuck or collet, or the spindles in one of the carriers may have chucks or collets whereas the spindles of the other carrier support or constitute centers for elongated workpieces. If the workpieces are short, the machine may include a mechanism which transfers workpieces from the chucks of spindles in one of the carriers into the chucks of spindles in the other carrier whereby the workpieces are inverted end-for-end during transport between the two carriers. The tool carriages have main slides which are movable lengthwise in the ways of respective guide members and cross slides which are mounted on the main slides and are movable transversely of the respective guide members.
