An automatic tool changer for a machine tool having a rotary toolhead with cross-feed slide includes a tilt unit having a tool socket which is pivotal between a first position, parallel to the axis of a machine tool storage magazine to permit loading or unloading of a machine tool carrier into the tool socket from the tool storage magazine by a transfer arm, and a second position parallel to the axis of the rotary toolhead. A tool changer arm, having tool grippers at opposite ends, moves along and rotates about an axis parallel to the rotary toolhead to exchange the tool carrier in the tool socket of the tilt unit with the tool carrier in the rotary toolhead, thereby permitting a new machining operation to be performed by the machine tool as well as storage of the machine tool carrier previously held in the rotary toolhead. |
