Abstract

A machine assembly comprises a machine tool including a machining table with a base table drivable in the Y-direction and a co-ordinating table movable under an NC-control system on the base table in the X-direction with a base table part secured to the co-ordinating table, and the work feed device including pallets movable from a base frame on to this base table part or the co-ordinating table under the positive direction of the controlled movement of the base table itself relatively to the co-ordinating table, thereby dispensing with a special device for operating a pallet change, wherein at least two pallets along with the base table part, form a machine surface.
