Abstract
The tool or workpiece magazine has tool holders disposed on a circle, from which holders the tools or workpieces can be removed by means of a removing device disposed centrally relative to the circular arc. This removing device comprises a column which is turnable around the axis thereof and on which a carriage is axially and slidably mounted. The carriage in turn carries transversely extendable telescoping arms, at the free end of which there is disposed a gripper having gripping jaws. Slots in tool carriers attached horizontally on movable panels are used as tool or workpiece holders. The panels can be moved outward of the magazine for stocking purposes.
