A machining center is provided enabling a high degree of machining automation. The machining center includes a master machining head including multiple spindles mounted fixedly to the machining base. A workpiece transport system transports workpieces between machining stations and also moves it toward and away from the machining stations which are preferable fixedly mounted. Registration pins mounted to the master machine head register with a receiving socket carried by the workpiece platform or associated workpiece fixture. A robot actuator is provided which loads and unloads workpieces with the machining center 10 and can also potentially provide other functions such as tool inspection tool changing, workpiece repositioning.
