Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a combined processing machine including: a first workpiece main spindle device and a second workpiece main spindle device including a main spindle stand configured to rotatably hold a main spindle about an axis; a first turret device and a second turret device including a turret configured to attach multiple turret tools disposed above the first workpiece main spindle device and the second workpiece main spindle device; a tool main spindle device disposed between the first turret device and the second turret device and including a main spindle head configured to exchangeably and rotatably hold a main spindle head tool; and two separation shutters configured to partition between the first turret device and the second turret device, on both sides of the tool main spindle device in a width direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A combined processing machine comprising: a first workpiece main spindle device and a second workpiece main spindle device including each including a main spindle stand configured to rotatably hold a main spindle about an axis; a first turret device and a second turret device including a turret configured to attach multiple turret tools disposed respectively above the first workpiece main spindle device and the second workpiece main spindle device; a tool main spindle device disposed between the first turret device and the second turret device, the tool main spindle device including a main spindle head configured to exchangeably and rotatably hold a main spindle head tool; and two separation shutters configured to partition between the first turret device and the second turret device, on both sides of the tool main spindle device in a width direction, wherein the two separation shutters form a first processing chamber of the first workpiece main spindle device and the first turret device, a second processing chamber of the second workpiece main spindle device and the second turret device, and a tool exchange chamber of the tool main spindle device in the combined processing machine. 2 . The combined processing machine according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bed on which the first workpiece main spindle device and the second workpiece main spindle device are mounted, and air cylinders respectfully provided to the two separation shutters, wherein each of the two separation shutters include a main body which is connected to a guide rail, the guide rail is slidably inserted into a guide member fixed to the bed, and operation of one of the air cylinders moves a respective one of the two separation shutters via the guide rail between an open state and a closed state. 3 . A combined processing machine comprising: a first workpiece main spindle device and a second workpiece main spindle device including each including a main spindle stand configured to rotatably hold a main spindle about an axis; a first turret device and a second turret device including a turret configured to attach multiple turret tools disposed respectively above the first workpiece main spindle device and the second workpiece main spindle device; a tool main spindle device disposed between the first turret device and the second turret device, the tool main spindle device including a main spindle head configured to exchangeably and rotatably hold a main spindle head tool; and two separation shutters configured to partition between the first turret device and the second turret device, on both sides of the tool main spindle device in a width direction, wherein the two separation shutters change a size or a range of a processing chamber in the machine by opening and closing each of the two separation shutters. 4 . The combined processing machine according to claim 3 , further comprising: a bed on which the first workpiece main spindle device and the second workpiece main spindle device are mounted, and air cylinders respectfully provided to the two separation shutters, wherein each of the two separation shutters include a main body which is connected to a guide rail, the guide rail is slidably inserted into a guide member fixed to the bed, and operation of one of the air cylinders moves a respective one of the two separation shutters via the guide rail between an open state and a closed state.
