Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A machine tool system includes: a machine tool that machines a workpiece by using a tool attached to a spindle; and a plurality of robots installed inside a machining space of the machine tool and adapted to grip the workpiece and move the workpiece in conformity with the machining performed by the machine tool.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A machine tool system comprising: a machine tool that machines a workpiece by using a tool attached to a spindle, wherein the machine tool comprises a table configured to move along a plane orthogonal to an axial direction of the spindle; and a plurality of robots installed on the table inside a machining space of the machine tool, wherein each of the plurality of robots is able to work independently of one another wherein each of the plurality of robots is adapted to either grip and move the workpiece or not grip and move the workpiece in response to a machining operation to be performed by the machine tool, wherein the plurality of robots is adapted to work in conjunction with one another to both grip and move the workpiece in response to the machining operation to be performed by the machine tool while the tool machines the workpiece. 2. The machine tool system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of robots are configured to change a position of the workpiece in response to a machining operation to be performed by the machine tool. 3. The machine tool system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of robots are configured to change a posture of the workpiece in response to a machining operation to be performed by the machine tool.
