Abstract

A machine tool includes a table, a first guide portion and a second guide portion that guide the table in the Z-axis direction and are arranged apart from each other in an X-axis direction, and a bed that includes a first guide mounting portion and a second guide mounting portion on which the first guide portion and the second guide portion are mounted respectively, and is provided with an opening portion which is located between the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion and penetrates in a Y-axis direction. The first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion are respectively provided with a first facing surface and a second facing surface which face each other across the opening portion. The bed further includes a rib portion which is located in the opening portion and connected to the first facing surface and the second facing surface.

First claim

1 . A machine tool comprising:
a table movable in a first axial direction parallel to a horizontal direction; a first guide portion and a second guide portion that guide the table in the first axial direction and are arranged apart from each other in a second axial direction which is parallel to the horizontal direction and orthogonal to the first axis; and a bed including a first guide mounting portion and a second guide mounting portion on which the first guide portion and the second guide portion are mounted respectively, the bed being provided with an opening portion which is located between the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion and penetrates in a third axial direction parallel to a vertical direction, wherein the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion include a first facing surface and a second facing surface that face each other across the opening portion in the second axial direction, and the bed further includes a rib portion which is arranged in the opening portion and is connected to the first facing surface and the second facing surface.

2 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the opening portion has a first open end arranged at one end of the opening portion in the first axial direction and a second open end arranged at the other end of the opening portion in the first axial direction, and a length between the first open end and the second open end in the first axial direction is greater than a length of the opening portion in the second axial direction.

3 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the opening portion has a first open end arranged at one end of the opening portion in the first axial direction and a second open end arranged at the other end of the opening portion in the first axial direction, and a length between the first open end and the second open end in the first axial direction is greater than a maximum stroke length of the table in the first axial direction.

4 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising an automatic pallet changer (APC) for changing a pallet to be mounted on the table, wherein the bed further includes an APC mounting portion that connects the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion at one end side of the opening portion in the first axial direction, the automatic pallet changer being mounted on the APC mounting portion, the table is rotatable around a rotation center axis extending in the third axial direction, and when the table is positioned at a pallet change position by the automatic pallet changer, the rotation center axis is arranged at a position overlapping an opening of the opening portion when viewed in the third axial direction.

5 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover body that defines a processing area on the bed, wherein an opening area of the opening portion when the opening portion is cut by a horizontal plane is 20% or more of an area of the processing area when the processing area is cut by a horizontal plane.

6 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the rib portion includes a lower surface parallel to a horizontal plane, a first side surface and a second side surface that respectively rise from both end portions of the lower surface in the first axial direction, a first inclined surface extending obliquely upward from an upper end portion of the first side surface along the first axial direction, and a second inclined surface that extends obliquely upward from an upper end portion of the second side surface along the first axial direction and intersects with the first inclined surface.

7 . The machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising an automatic pallet changer (APC) for changing a pallet to be mounted on the table; and
a column for supporting a tool spindle, wherein the bed further includes: an APC mounting portion that connects the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion on one end side of the opening portion in the first axial direction, the automatic pallet changer being mounted on the APC mounting portion; a column mounting portion that connects the first guide mounting portion and the second guide mounting portion on the other end side of the opening portion in the first axial direction, the column being mounted on the column mounting portion; a first fixing portion that is provided in the APC mounting portion and is fixed to a floor on which the machine tool is installed; and a second fixing portion and a third fixing portion that are provided in the column mounting portion, are located apart from each other in the second axial direction, and are fixed to the floor on which the machine tool is installed, wherein the opening portion has a first open end arranged at one end of the opening portion in the first axial direction and a second open end arranged at the other end of the opening portion in the first axial direction, and wherein the rib portion is provided at a position closer to the first open end than the second open end in the first axial direction.
