A high speed machining machine-tool including a mechanical module having a machining station and a driving station and an equipment module with "n" number different parts located up line. The module bases are connected to a common supporting frame, with the mechanical module being fixedly connected thereto. The equipment module is connected to the machine so as to slide on its longitudinal axis. The different mobile parts of the machine-tool adopt two positions: a first, so-called "folded" position, in which the equipment module and all its parts engage each other and the mechanical module; a second, so-called "extended" position, in which the whole equipment module or a subset of its component parts have slid on the supporting frame towards the rear so as to form a transversal handling passage running through and through the machine. The invention is useful for high speed machining. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG.
1, the machine-tool M for high speed machining includes a mechanical module and an equipment module.
The mechanical module includes a machining station P2, a driving station P1, and a storage station P4.
The driving station P1 includes all of the motor elements.
The storage station P4 includes a tool magazine which permits keeping all of the tools necessary for the different machining stages that the machine-tool M has to execute available in a sealed chamber.
The equipment module includes a control station P3 which includes several cupboards and power groups.
According to the main characteristic of the present invention, the mechanical and equipment modules are connected to a common supporting frame 700 on a base.
The mechanical module is fixedly connected to the common supporting frame 700 and the equipment module is slidingly connected to the longitudinal axis of the machine-tool M.
As shown in FIG.
4a, the machine-tool M for high speed machining has an equipment module which is formed of two different parts.
A first of the two different parts is a hydraulic group 600, which is placed against the mechanical module, when the machine-tool M is in its "folded" position, as illustrated.
A second of the two different parts is a subset including a cooling group 300 and an electric cupboard 200.
The cooling group 300 and the electric cupboard 200 are situated at the rear of the machine-tool M so that movement therein creates first and second handling passages 100 and 100', respectively.
The first handling passage 100 is opened between the mechanical module, formed by the machining station P2 and the driving station P1, and the hydraulic group 600, as shown in FIG.
4b.
Thus, access to the hatch 500 of the driving station P1 is permitted, as well as to the control parts of the hydraulic group 600, which are situated on the side of the electric cupboard 200 of the hydraulic group 600.
The second handling passage 100' is opened by the movement of the electric cupboard 200 of the hydraulic group 600 towards the driving station P1 up to the position in full lock of the electric cupboard 200
