[0026] A translation seat 6, which is arranged on the gantry 5, and the translation seat 6 can move in the left and right directions;

[0027] The processing head 7 is slidably connected to the translation seat 6 in the up-down direction. A lifting screw is provided on the translation seat 6. The processing head 7 is connected to the lifting screw, and the processing head 7 is driven by the lifting screw to move in the up-down direction.

[0028] In this five-axis machining center, a movable table 2 that can move in the front-back direction is provided on the machine tool 1, a turntable 3 that can rotate along the left-right rotation axis is provided on the movable table 2, and a translation seat 6 that can rotate along the up-down rotation axis is provided on the turntable 3, and the translation seat 6 on the gantry 5 can also move in the left-right direction, and the processing head 7 can move in the up-down direction. The workpiece to be processed is loaded on the processing table 4, and the processing head 7 can realize multi-angle processing of the workpiece. For the movement of the processing table 4, the drive motor 21 at the bottom of the processing table 4 drives the transmission shaft 22 to move The transmission shaft 22 drives at least two transmission gears 23 spaced apart from each other to rotate, and the transmission gears 23 on the top side of the machine tool 1 are meshed with each other through the transmission gears 23, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the movable platform 2.
