Abstract
A tool magazine is located adjacent to the work space of a machine tool. The tool magazine has a magazine wheel (34) that is rotatable in a controlled manner about a vertical axis and exhibits tool holders (50) on its periphery, in which tools can be held with the tool axis directed radially with respect to the magazine wheel (34) and can be removed with their shafts directed toward the inside of the magazine wheel (34). The horizontally aligned tool spindle is displaceable along the horizontal Y-axis and along the vertical Z-axis and can be lowered into the magazine wheel (34) from above, in order to directly remove the tools from the inside of the magazine wheel (34).
Claims6
Machine tool with a work space and with a horizontal tool spindle for processing a work piece located in the work space by means of a tool held by the tool spindle, with the tool spindle being displaceable in a controlled manner along at least one horizontal axis (Y-axis) and along the vertical axis (Z-axis), characterized in that a tool magazine is located adjacent to the work space, which magazine comprises a magazine wheel (34) that is rotatable in a controlled manner about a vertical axis, that the magazine wheel (34) has tool holders (50) on its periphery, in which tools (56) can be held with the tool central longitudinal axis radially aligned with respect to the axis of rotation of the magazine wheel (34) and with their holding shafts directed toward the inside of the magazine wheel (34), and that, for purposes of a tool exchange, the tool spindle (30) can be displaced horizontally over the magazine wheel (34), lowered vertically into the inside of the periphery of the magazine wheel (34) and displaced radially inside the periphery of the magazine wheel (34) with respect to the tool holders (50).
