Abstract: A tool magazine including a rack type tool storage device in which all tools are horizontally arranged along a transport passage facing away from a machine tool. A loader links the tool magazine with the machine tool. For this purpose, the loader comprises a linear drive device for a horizontal movement along the transport passage as well as another linear drive device for a vertical movement inside the transport passage. In addition, the loader includes a pivot arm, which can be pivoted around the vertically orientated pivot axis by means of a pivot drive. On its free end the pivot arm supports a gripper, which is specifically pivotably supported around a vertical second pivot axis on the arm. A control device coordinates the two linear drives and the two pivot drives, so that tools can be transferred first out of the tool storage device into tool removal passages provided therein and then into the transport passage.
