Abstract: A machining center equipped with a device for mounting on a clamp parts to be worked or which have been worked, such as profiles, which has a supporting frame for supporting a turntable with two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations, an loading basket and an unloading basket. The machining center comprises a robot configured to remove or to associate, with each one of said two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations, the parts or the profiles to be worked and which have been worked at a plurality of fixed RPS or reference points and mobile mechanical components, according to a single positioning that is adapted to allow access by machining devices to any zone in the space of the profiles to be worked by modifying only the condition that the two or more stepped positions or placements or workstations are in.

Abstract: A method for mounting on a clamp parts or profiles in a processing center provided with a supporting frame for a turntable, comprising a robot for the loading/unloading of the profiles to be worked and of the subsequently worked profiles. The method provides for the steps of inserting the profile to be worked, by means of the robot, in a region arranged below at least one first open clamp; resting the profile to be worked on at least one first lower fixed reference, resting the profile to be worked on a second and/or third front fixed reference, resting the profile to be worked on at least one fourth lateral fixed reference, laterally closing the profile to be worked and then upper closing of the profile to be worked.
