ABSTRACT:
A machine tool has a spindle rotating about a spindle axis and a quill that can be displaced relative to the spindle in the direction of the spindle axis. Arranged at intervals around the spindle are a number of gripper arms that are fastened to the quill, whereby each gripper arm carries a tool holder that has a cone. The cone of each tool holder can be individually engaged, by means of the gripper arm, from a magazine position located at a distance from the spindle into a working position located in the spindle, while the other tool holders are retained in the magazine position. In the magazine position, each of the tool holders is inserted into a separate sheath open at the bottom, which forms a cover at least for the respective cone. With the machine tool the sheaths are located on the gripper arms.
