ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for changing tools for a machine tool which selectively moves a tool along a Z axis with respect to a workpiece support table. The machine tool has a fixed position tool magazine which supports a tool having its principle axis parallel to a magazine axis. A tool carriage and associated tool gripper are selectively operable to move a tool between the tool magazine and the tool holder of the machine tool. A mechanical linkage maintains the tool axis to be parallel to the Z axis when the carriage is adjacent to the tool holder, and to be parallel to the magazine axis when the carriage is adjacent to the magazine.
