Abstract
A machine tool for processing plate-like workpieces, in particular metal sheets, has a machine frame with a lower frame arm, an upper frame arm and a frame compartment or throat defined between the upper and lower arms. A first tool magazine, close to the station, has storage places for processing tools is arranged at least partially within the frame compartment. The processing tools, such as punch/die sets, can be interchanged at a processing station of the machine tool. By means of a tool transfer device, processing tools can be transferred between the first tool and a second tool magazine, remote from the station. The second tool magazine has a magazine platform that protrudes laterally in a horizontal direction with respect to the machine frame and is accessible from above, on which magazine platform storage places for processing tools interchangeable at the processing station are provided, and above which a tool holder of the tool transfer device is mounted on the relevant longitudinal side of the machine frame.
