A device for machining workpieces comprises a series of stationary machining stations (2, 42, 65, 81) arranged around a circle and a row of workpiece holders (3, 38, 64, 82) which are clamped temporarily in the machining stations (2, 42, 65, 81) and periodically interchanged. To ensure quasi-continuous operation with stationary machining stations (2, 42, 65, 81), an interchanger (5, 19, 44, 60, 87) rotates concentrically about the circle (41) of the machining stations (2, 42, 65, 81), grips the holders (3, 38, 64, 82) in succession and forms an interchange path (6, 45, 62, 90) for the holders (3, 38, 64, 82) to be interchanged between one machining station (2, 42, 65, 81) and the next. The interchange path contains a number of workpiece holders (27) which differs from the number of machining stations (2, 42, 65, 81) in the region bridged by the interchange path (6). |
