Abstract
A machine tool for machining crankshafts for four cylinder engines. A machining station and two parallel workstations are arranged in the same horizontal plane on a frame extending along the transfer axis of a machining line. The machining station has two tool holder disks for machining the crankshafts. The two parallel work stations are arranged upstream and downstream from the machining station for rotating the two crankshafts. The tool holder disk of the machining station is movably mounted along the transfer axis and can move back and forth between one workstation and the other. A crankshaft can be machined at a workstation during the auxiliary operations needed to position a new crankshaft in the other workstation.
