Single turret column
Single spindle (with octagonal turret Type MT-25A/500 of Mori Seiki
head and milling head)
Twin-head
Type PPC of Pittler: To minimize idle time,
(each head has Four-turret head
twin-spindle) simultaneous machining for the same work

basic necessity is to intermediate between the preferable role of human
beings with multiple nationalities and the fully automatized production
facilities. In short, the machining complex can, at present, be defined
as the system machine of multifarious machining function-integrated
type having the configuration of combining the TC and MC with twin-
spindle allocated oppositely.
In due course, the processing complex can be regarded as an advanced
variant of the machining complex, because it has more processing
functions than machining. In the mid-1980s, the Oerlikon tried to pro-
duce a portal machine of multiple-processing-integrated type called
Multitechnologie-Zentrum (spindle tapered hole: ISO 50), which can deal
with drilling, milling, jig boring, jig grinding, and coordinate measurement,
although the machine was designed not using the modular principle. In
addition, the TC of trommel type was on the market, where the trommel
with twin-spindle has a function of work holding and transportation.
Another example is, as shown in Fig. 2-28, a CNC vertical turning
machine with twin-spindle of Hüller Hille make (type DVT) in 2002,
