Abstract

See full text

A machining center is designed for machining a hub having faces that are spaced one hundred and twenty degrees from one another around the hub. The machining center includes a table for supporting the hub when it is being machined and three vertical gantries arranged around the table that are spaced one hundred and twenty degrees from one another. The gantries have X and Z axis drives for moving the gantries parallel to the faces of the hub and toward and away from the hub. At least one machining member is mounted on each of the gantries for vertical movement on the gantry and stroke drives are provided for the machining members for driving the machining members toward the center axis of the hub, allowing the three faces of the hub to be machined simultaneously by the machining center.
