ABSTRACT:
An automatic tool exchanging apparatus carries tools between a magazine pot allocated to an exchanging position and a leading end of a spindle of a machine tool spinning a tool about a vertical axis through the turning and displacement movements of an exchanging arm. A single drive motor is used to drive the tool exchanging arm for rotation and displacement and a tool magazine for rotation. The drive system is thus simplified, thereby reducing the substantial production cost and the space to be occupied.
