Workpiece e.g. blank for production of gear wheel, machining method, involves executing machining step in auxiliary machining position, and transporting workpiece again to main machining position to execute another machining step

摘要

The method involves transporting a workpiece to a main machining position. A machining step is executed on the workpiece in the main machining position. The workpiece is transported to the auxiliary machining position. Another machining step is executed on the workpiece in the auxiliary machining position. The workpiece is again transported to the main machining position. A third machining step is executed on the workpiece in the main machining position. A gripper transporting the workpiece is assigned an internal identification, which depends on the last accomplished machining step. An independent claim is also included for a machine tool for machining a workpiece.
