ABSTRACT:
The machine has a device for exchanging tools between a tool store and the spindle of a machining head carried by a carriage movable along the X axis; the store has a number of locations for the tools arranged in a matrix of rows and columns; a worktable is movable along the Y axis; and the tool-change device and the store are movable with respect to each other to select the required tool. For which purpose, activatable means are provided to enable the carriage to command the relative movement of the device and the store. A support, movable parallel to the X axis, is engaged by an element carried by the carriage to enable the support to be moved in a given direction in opposition to the action of return springs for restoring the support to a rest position.
