Abstract
Abstract A horizontal boring mill and milling device with a tool carrier adjustable as to height on a horizontally displaceable stand and with a tool magazine arranged laterally thereof, in which the tools or set of tools are held parallel to the boring or milling spindle axis. The tool magazine or frame is, for purposes of exchanging heavy tools or set of tools, arranged in front and in the region of movement of the tool carrier, and the tools or set of tools have flange-shaped extensions, or the like, for holding in the tool magazine and on the tool carrier.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
A horizontal boring mill and milling device, which includes in combination: a horizontally displaceable stand, a tool carrier supported by and vertically movable on said stand for exchangeably receiving and supporting a tool for performing machining operations, a tool magazine comprising means for holding tools and tool sets in a position substantially parallel to their intended position in said tool carrier, and means for moving said stand relative to said magazine, said tool magazine being arranged laterally of and in a plane in front of said tool carrier and within the region of movement of said tool carrier, said tools and tool sets having supporting flange means for connecting to said tool carrier, said tool carrier being provided with means for picking up and receiving tools and tool sets from said magazine, clamping means on said tool carrier for positioning and clamping said flange means on said tool carrier, said flange means and said magazine having interengageable complementary formations including projections on one and substantially vertically extending slots in the other, said projections entering said slots when said flange means is positioned on said magazine, said tool carrier lowering said flange means with said projections in said slots so that said projections engage in said slots to retain said flange means on said magazine.
