Abstract
Object of the invention is a pallet exchanger for machine tools (1), which features a rotating unit (24), arranged between the workpiece table (5) and the standby position, with support elements for a form-closed and releasable fastening of a pallet. In order to transfer the workpiece pallet (6), the rotating unit (24) rotates along the vertical axis. To avoid additional support elements for the pallets, the support elements are designed as support hooks (25), which subsequent to a vertical elevation of the rotating unit (24) engage with support profiles (28) on the pallet (6) and hold the pallet self-supportedly.
