Abstract
Abstract The invention comprises an improved machine tool assemblage incorporating a machine stand in which there are provided cylindrical assembly units located in bores disposed transversely to the working direction of the machine functions to be performed. The cylindrical assembly units contain working cylinders and pistons for operating tool slide mechanisms for performing the requisite functions on workpieces positioned on the machine stand.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A machine tool including a stand having tool slide mechanisms longitudinally displaceable relative thereto towards respective workpiece holders, said stand defining a plurality of bores extending therethrough transverse to the working direction of the tool slide mechanisms, and a substantially cylindrical assembly unit fitted with a push-fit in at least one of said bores, each said assembly unit including a working cylinder containing a working piston and a piston rod to be actuated by a pressure medium for positioning said piston rod mounted in the stand for moving its respective tool slide mechanism, whereby high shear forces relative to said stand can be sustained and torquing forces can be handled without difficulty.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A machine tool including a stand having tool slide mechanisms longitudinally displaceable relative thereto towards respective workpiece holders, said stand defining a plurality of bores extending therethrough transverse to the working direction of the tool slide mechanisms, and a substantially cylindrical assembly unit fitted with a push-fit in at least one of said bores, each said assembly unit including a working cylinder containing a working piston and a piston rod to be actuated by a pressure medium for positioning said piston rod mounted in the stand for moving its respective tool slide mechanism, whereby high shear forces relative to said stand can be sustained and torquing forces can be handled without difficulty.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 1 in which the machine stand is composed of oppositely disposed spaced members and the bores extend therethrough and the cylindrical assembly units are disposed therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 1 in which each working cylinder is formed by a cylindrical blind-end bore in a cylindrical assembly unit, which blind-end bore extends radially of the main axis of the assembly unit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 1 in which the end-face of each working cylinder that is remote from the working piston lies substantially in a diametral plane of the cylindrical assembly unit.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 1 which includes a housing a rapid-stroke cylinder disposed in said housing, piston and a piston rod assemblage disposed coaxially with the working cylinder at least a portion of which assemblage is accommodated in each cylindrical assembly unit, means mechanically connecting the piston in the rapid-stroke cylinder with the working piston of each working cylinder, said working piston being of greater diameter than the piston of the rapid-stroke cylinder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 5 in which each rapid-stroke cylinder includes a cylindrical blind-end bore formed in a cylindrical assembly unit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 5 in that the cylindrical assembly unit for the rapid-stroke cylinder in which the rapid-stroke piston is guided is inserted in a blind-end bore formed in the cylindrical assembly unit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A machine tool in accordance with claim 5 in which the rapid-stroke cylinder is disposed on the machine stand at a distance from its respective cylindrical assembly unit.
