ABSTRACT:
A tool changing apparatus for a machine tool comprising, adjacent an operating space, an indexable tool carrier displaceable in two feed directions defining a plane of movement and comprising a plurality of tool receiving means each including a holding means, which is provided with a clamping device, for inserting and securely clamping a base of a tool as well as a clamping element having a predetermined direction of movement for tightening and releasing the clamping device, and also comprising a tool gripping device having an actuating device adapted to be coupled to the clamping element. To avoid the necessity of moving a tool, which is to be interchanged, in two directions during tool changing, this tool changing apparatus is designed such that, in a tool receiving means, the slide-on direction of the holding means, the axial direction of the clamping element and the coupling direction of the actuating device for the clamping element are all parallel to one another and that the tool gripping device may be moved towards the tool receiving means transversely to the row formed by these tool receiving means and parallel to the slide-on direction.
