DETAILS, COMPONENTS, OR ACCESSORIES FOR MACHINE TOOLS, e.g. ARRANGEMENTS FOR COPYING OR CONTROLLING (tools of the kind used in lathes or boring machines B23B27/00); MACHINE TOOLS IN GENERAL CHARACTERISED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF PARTICULAR DETAILS OR COMPONENTS; COMBINATIONS OR ASSOCIATIONS OF METAL-WORKING MACHINES, NOT DIRECTED TO A PARTICULAR RESULT

Description

B23Q covers machine tool components, accessories, and subsystems including spindles, chucks, workholding devices, tool changers, and copying/control mechanisms. It encompasses structural details and functional arrangements of machine tools characterized by their constructional features rather than their end-product function. This subclass also includes combinations or associations of multiple metal-working machines that are not designed to produce a specific final result, such as modular machine configurations or integrated machining systems.
