Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021144771A1] A finishing machine tool offering kinematics with good accessibility to the workpiece and between tool and workpiece or dresser has a machine bed (112); a linear indexer (110) and rotatable indexer (106) combined and mounted to the machine bed (112); a workpiece holder (202) and at least two QC and/or tooling setup(s) (211, 212, 212', 212", 212a, 212b, 212c) mounted to the combined linear indexer (110) and rotatable indexer (106) such that the QC and/or tooling setup (211) rotates with the workpiece holder (202) in a fixed relationship thereto: and a finishing tool (214) mounted to the machine bed (112) so as to finish (i.e., machine, grind or polish) a workpiece (208) when mounted in the workpiece holder (202). In this configuration, the finishing machine tool offers kinematics free of collision risk with QC and/or tooling setups or when changing out workpieces.
