Abstract
A machine tool comprises a spindle stock (11) and a tool magazine (29) in which a plurality of tool-carrying toolholders (17) can be displaced along an endless path in a plane perpendicular to the axis (19) of the spindle stock (11). Two gripper arms (20, 20a) serve for transferring the toolholders (17) between withdrawal and/or loading positions (74) in the tool magazine (29), which are located on either side of the spindle stock (16), and a spindle position in a spindle nose (15) of the spindle stock (16). The endless path extends along a U shape, and a withdrawal or mounting position (74) is provided on each end (30', 30a') of the legs (30a) of the U. The spindle nose (15) is arranged in front of and below the ends (30', 30a') and rigidly connected with the tool magazine (29) in the direction of the axis (19).
