ABSTRACT:
A machining center with two or more cooperating machines has a magazine for tools and a magazine for adapters in each machine. The tools and adapters are shuttled between the respective magazines and the material removing stations of the respective machines by discrete automated manipulators. In addition, the machining center has a transporting system which delivers workpieces from a further station to and thereupon from the material removing stations of the machines and which also serves to shuttle sections of magazines for tools and adapters between the respective magazines and an additional station where the sections are relieved of some or all of their contents preparatory to receiving other types of tools and/or adapters. The machining center can be utilized with advantage for the treatment of five sides of large or medium-large workpieces, such as frames of machine tools.
