Machine tool

1) a machine tool, comprising:

• at least one pair of slide ways, set apart one from another and extending parallel with a predominating longitudinal axis;
• a machining station delimited laterally by the slide ways and presenting a first zone and a second zone adjacent one to the other;
• a traveling gantry associated with the pair of slide ways and carrying a machining head positioned above the machining station, capable of movement along the ways in such a way that the machining head can be positioned in the first and second zones;
• a magazine placed alongside at least one of the slide ways and containing a plurality of tools attachable to the machining head, comprising a first changer element positioned to coincide with the respective first zone of the station, and a second changer element positioned to coincide with the respective second zone, each capable of movement between a first operating position in which it occupies the magazine for the purpose of selecting at least one tool, and a second position in which it occupies the machining station for the purpose of fitting the tool to the machining head.
