Abstract
A machining center for at least one of a drilling or milling operation. The machining center includes a machine frame at which an outrigger is attached, with a tool spindle, driveable to execute stroke movements and rotary movements, being mounted to the outrigger. The tool spindle is adapted to be moved from an end position, in alignment with a tool carrier present in the tool magazine and connectible to the tool spindle, axially for being coupled to the tool carrier and then further movable axially for machining of workpieces. The tool spindle is rotatably mounted at a slide arranged at the outrigger and guided along a straight guide extending in parallel to an axis of rotation of the tool spindle. The slide serves for axial movement of the tool spindle for executing axial strokes intended for workpiece machining and for an exchange of a tool carrier. The slide has a zone through which the tool spindle extends, which zone may pass through a gap of the tool magazine. Upon each tool carrier change, the gap may be engaged by the respective tool carrier to be coupled to the tool spindle, which tool carrier is carried by a magazine connecting member in order to enable a coupling to the tool spindle. The straight guide for the slide is arranged at a spacing from the zone of the machine frame carrying the outrigger.
