ABSTRACT:
A program-controlled machine tool with automated tool changing, where the machine tool consists of a motor-driven machining unit with a working spindle that can be moved in at least one coordinate. The machine tool also includes a work table that can be driven by a motor in at least one coordinate, at least one tool magazine, and a programmable control unit. In order to be able to carry out tool changing operations without any auxiliary equipment, especially without a tool changer, within a short period of time, the tool magazine is mounted in a certain spatial arrangement with the working area of the machining unit so that its changing position can be approached directly by the working spindle in order to carry out the tool changing operation.
