Numerically controlled machine tool comprising a multi-spindle turret and tool gripping device

A numerically controlled machine tool (10), comprising a multi-spindle turret (20) provided with a body (21) extending along an axis A-A between a first end by which it is fastened to a frame (11) of the machine tool (10) and a second end at which it comprises a rotatable head (23), the head (23) comprising at least two tool-holding spindles (24, 24′, 24″), each intended to engagingly receive a cutting tool (25, 25′, 25″), the spindles (24, 24′, 24″) occupying, depending on the angular position of the head (23), a working position in which they are intended to carry out a machining operation on a workpiece held in position in a fixture, or a standby position in which they are withdrawn from said workpiece, each of said spindles (24, 24′, 24″) being configured to be controlled independently of the other in order to immobilise or rotatably drive the tool (25, 25′, 25″) that it carries, regardless of the position occupied thereby, the machine tool (10) further comprising a tool gripping device (30) configured to interact with a spindle (24′, 24″) in a standby position in order to extract a tool (25′, 25″) carried by said spindle (24′, 24″) for the storage thereof, and in order to insert a replacement tool (25′″) into said spindle (24′, 24″), the gripping device (30) comprising a tool magazine (34) held in a cantilevered position by a support structure (31) fastened to the body (21) of the turret (20), the magazine (34) comprising a storage barrel (340) with a degree of rotational freedom about an axis C-C.
