Abstract

A machine tool comprises a rack, a horizontally displaceable x skid and a y skid that is vertically displaceable thereon. The skids are drivable by linear motors which are arranged on the front side of the rack and the face side of the x skid, respectively, and on the rear side of the x skid and the rear side of the y skid, respectively. The same may apply to the x guides and the y guides. The air gaps of the linear motors of each skid are arranged in one plane.
