Abstract

A multi-spindle machining center for the chip forming processing of workpieces comprises a spindle group having at least two spindles arranged in a spindle row to mount a chip forming tool, and a workpiece support, on which at least two workpiece holders, correlated with the geometrical arrangement of the spindles, for holding workpieces for a simultaneous processing by means of the spindles, are arranged, the workpiece support having a beam-like longitudinal support member, bearing the workpiece supports, which at its longitudinal terminal regions is movably held on a respective workpiece support bearing structure and the spindles are guided for a movement toward the workpiece support in a first axial direction on a spindle linear guide arrangement. In the multi-spindle machining center there is a provision such that for positioning the workpieces within a working region of the spindles, the workpiece support bearing structure comprises, at the longitudinal terminal regions of the longitudinal support member a respective linear guide structure, which is guided on a workpiece support linear guide arrangement in a second axial direction athwart the first axial direction.
