Abstract
A machine tool has a pallet changer at a front of a machine body for automatically changing a preceding-process pallet loaded with a machined workpiece thereon for a next-process pallet loaded with an unmachined workpiece thereon. A working space is provided between the machine body and the pallet changer. Thus, a machine tool, as well as a pallet changer used in the machine tool can be provided that allows a working space to be ensured without causing any complications for the structure and that has a wide range of applications.
