Abstract

In order to design a lathe comprisinga machine frame,a first working spindle for a first workpiece held on the machine frame,at least one first tool carrier for the machining of the first workpiece,a second working spindle for a second workpiece which can be brought from a coaxial position into a non-coaxial position in a transverse direction in relation to the first working spindle,and a first tool carrier on the front side associated with a first working space,and a second tool carrier on the front side associated with a second working space, in such a manner that it is possible for machining operations on the first workpiece and the second workpiece to be as flexible as possible, it is suggested that the first tool carrier on the front side and the second working spindle be movable in the transverse direction relative to one another controlled by a machine control.
