ABSTRACT:
The tools of the various machining heads are housed on a common drum, which is remote from the heads and rotated to select a given row of tools. At each head, there is provided an intermediate station having a container housing a row of tools; and a shuttle provides for sequentially transferring the tools between the drum and the intermediate stations. Each container is rotated 90.degree. between a position cooperating with the shuttle and a position cooperating with a device for exchanging the tools between the head and the container. The container is also movable with respect to the device to select the location of the tool to be changed.
