摘要

This disclosure is of an automatic tool changer on a machine tool which is arranged to produce movement of a tool operator about a rotary axis when the tool is used. The exchange of tools to and from the machine can be automatically accomplished without regard to the position of the tool operator in its normal range of positions. The tool operator does not return to a predetermined angular position for the tool change, but only stops for so long as the execution of that tool change.
