Abstract
A fast tool arrangement, in particular for lathes for machining optical workpieces, has a carriage, which for linear reciprocating movements is guided in a housing on bearing elements stationary in relation to the housing, and which at its outer end carries a holder for a tool or workpiece and at its inner end is actively connected with a moving coil drive. The carriage has the cross-section of a T-profile with plane-parallel flange and web faces wherein the bearing elements are arranged in pairs on both sides of the profile web and the profile flange.
