A machine tool having a separately replaceable tool post is provided. The machine tool includes supports that are facing each other with an axis line of a main axis in an axial direction therebetween; a rotation tool post detachably connected on one of the supports and rotatable with respect to a first direction perpendicular to the axis line; a fastening member detachably connecting the rotation tool post on the one of the supports, wherein the rotation tool post includes: a rotation unit configured to rotate in the first direction on the one of the supports; an upper fastening unit at an upper portion of the rotation unit, and detachably fastened to the one of the supports; and a lower fastening unit at a lower portion of the rotation unit, and detachably fastened to the one of the supports so that the rotation unit is rotatable.

A tool change unit includes a base and two tool arms rotatably mounted on the base and respectively located on two sides of the base. Each arm body includes a position-returning element, a gripping element, and an actuation element. The position-returning element enables the tool arm to rotate for upward and downward moving between a first position and a second position. The gripping element functions to grip a main-axle tool or a magazine tool. The tool change unit is combinable with a power unit to form a tool change device. The power unit drives the tool change unit to do rotation or rotation and upward and downward movement.

The present disclosure relates to a tool holder to receive and lock a tool taper on a tool magazine, an unlocking device to unlock a tool taper that is received and is locked in a tool holder of this type, and a tool magazine for a machine tool comprising one or more tool holders of this type and an unlocking device of this type.

The cutting machine for cutting logs of web material, includes a cutting head arranged along the feeding path of the logs. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes a store unit for disc-shaped cutting blades associated with the cutting head. A handling member is provided to remove a worn disc-shaped cutting blade from the cutting head and replace the worn disc-shaped cutting blade with a new disc-shaped cutting blade taken from the store unit.

Provided is a tool magazine apparatus that has excellent workability and is capable of being downsized. A tool replacement device includes a fixed frame installed in an opening portion provided at a predetermined position of a tool magazine, a swivel frame disposed inside the fixed frame so as to be rotatable about a swivel axis extending in a vertical direction, and a tool replacement rack fixed to the swivel frame. The swivel frame is rotated to a deliverable position at which the tool replacement rack is parallel to a tool rack inside the tool magazine to enable a tool to be delivered between the tool replacement rack and a tool transfer device, and to a replaceable position at which the tool replacement rack is located outside the tool magazine to enable replacement of old and new tools.

A tool magazine includes a magazine arm and a gripper plate. The magazine arm has a tool pot to hold a tool. The magazine arm is pivotable around a pivotal axis such that the tool pot pivots around the pivotal axis. The gripper plate has at least one gripper to hold the tool at a holding position on a circular arc track along which the tool moves when the magazine arm pivots. The at least one gripper is open in a tangent direction of the circular arc track at the holding position.
