Abstract
In order to improve a machine tool comprising a first spindle for accommodating a workpiece and a first carrier for machining units movable along an X axis, which can be moved relative to one another along a Z axis, a second carrier which is movable along an X axis and with which machining units can be moved into or out of a functional position associated with the first spindle in a transverse direction extending transversely to the X axis and transversely to the Z axis, as well as an additional carrier for machining units in such a manner that it offers optimum possibilities for the machining of a front side of a workpiece and a rear side of a workpiece, it is suggested that the second carrier bear a second spindle, that as a result of movement of the second carrier the second spindle be movable in the direction of the Z axis and the transverse direction between a workpiece takeover position and at least one workpiece machining position and that the additional machining units be arranged in a spatial area, in which machining of a rear side of a workpiece can be carried out with the second spindle located in the workpiece machining position.
