PURPOSE:To obtain high storage density of a tool further enable its indexing time to be reduced, by providing a tool magazine having polyhedral construction and performing rotary indexing action of the tool magazine simultaneously with the tool exchanging action of an automatic tool exchanging device. CONSTITUTION:A tool magazine TM has a plate-shaped member 4, having a tool storage pot 3 for housing a tool to be supplied to a main spindle in a machining center, and a rotary shaft 5 of the member 4. While the tool magazine TM has an intermittent drive indexing device 6 transmitting intermittent rotary indexing action corresponding to a quantity of the plate-shaped member 4 to the rotary shaft 5. Here the intermittent drive indexing device 6, being constituted by an oil hydraulic motor, Geneva mechanism, etc., transmits the indexing action to the plate shaped member 4 while intermittently rotating so as to deliver the tool, selected in accordance with a work machining program in the machining center, to a tool holding pawl in an automatic tool exchanging device ATC. |
