Summary:Machine tool comprises a spindle (3) rotating in a bed or support. The support and a counter support and/or tail block are made from a lightweight material, especially fiber-reinforced plastic and/or aluminum foam. An independent claim is also included for a process for the production of a machine tool. Um eine Werkzeugmaschine energiesparend auszubilden, ist es unter anderem notwendig, vor allem diejenigen beweglichen Komponenten mit nennenswerter Masse, insbesondere Spindelstock und Werkzeugsupporte, gewichtsreduziert auszubilden. Zu diesem Zweck wird vorgeschlagen, hierfür bisher unübliche Materialien und Materialkombinationen, insbesondere kohlefaserverstärkte Kunststoffe und/oder Metallschäume in spezifischen Ausführungsarten, zu verwenden.
