The device for exchanging cutting tools comprises a moving carriage which includes a base (15) located below the floor of a podium (6), this base (15) being equipped with running and guiding means (16 to 25) to allow it to move, perpendicularly to the face of the cutting station, in a slot (29) formed in the floor of the podium (6). The base (15) is equipped at its top with a support frame (31) consisting of a base plate (30) equipped with a sliding bearing (34) through which there passes a supporting spindle (27) fixed to the base (15) and with two substantially vertical uprights (32, 33) joined together at one of their ends and arranged on the base plate (30) so as to form an isoceles triangle. The support frame (31) is provided with lifting means (43) attached to the apex of the isoceles triangle formed by the base plate (30) and by the uprights (32, 33) and bears on a pivot (42) arranged at one of the ends of the support spindle (27) in order to bring about the upward and downward vertical movement of the support frame (31). The base plate (30) includes housings for supporting cutting tools and means for retaining the tools arranged in the vicinity of the upper part of the isoceles triangle of the support frame (31). <IMAGE> |
