ABSTRACT:
A machine tool comprises a spindle stock (11) that can be moved about several axes relative to a work plate. Tools can be transferred, preferably by means of gripper arms, from a magazine position in the tool magazine into a working position in a tool carrier of the spindle stock (11), or vice versa. At least one of the tools is designed as a handling element. The working space of the spindle stock is provided with at least one work magazine for accommodating workpieces.
In order to be able to machine the workpieces in various ways, in particular along several axes, the handling element is designed as a gripper element (29) and provided with externally operated clamping jaws (66) for gripping one or more workpieces (30) contained in the work magazine and transferring them into a machining station designed for holding and/or positioning a workpiece during or for machining of the workpiece (30). The tool carrier of the spindle stock (11) comprises a connection element (53, 62) for supplying energy for operating the clamping jaws (66).
