A machine tool has a frame, a tool spindle with a tool holder, a workpiece holder and a protective bellows. The tool spindle and the workpiece holder are movable relative to one another in at least two translatory axes in a working space. The working space is delimited by at least one partition wall, which has at least one travel opening and, adjacent to the travel opening, a mounting collar, which surrounds the travel opening at least partially. At least the tool spindle or the workpiece holder is coupled to the frame through the travel opening. The protective bellows has a mounting edge adapted to the mounting collar, which is provided with a tension member. The protective bellows is mountable on the mounting collar in a relaxed state of the tension member and is secured to the mounting collar in a tensioned state of the tension member when in a mounted state.

A combined transfer and storage device for machining comprises a storage level, a transfer device, at least one machining interface, and a feeding interface. The storage level comprises two or more storages that are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction and having storage spaces for workpiece carriers, which are arranged one above the other for holding blanks or machined workpieces. The transfer device extends in the longitudinal direction. The machining interface is used for directly or mediately coupling with a machine tool. The feeding interface is accessible for a driverless transport vehicle. The transfer device accomplishes a workpiece transfer between the feeding interface, the storage level and the at least one machining interface. A manufacturing line is provided with a combined transfer and storage device and with at least one manufacturing system having at least one machine tool and a handling cell that is arranged between a machining interface of the combined transfer and storage device and the machine tool.
