The invention shows a machining centre for machining a workpiece on a table, comprising: a spindle being movable in a Y-axis and in a Z-axis direction. This machining centre is in respect to a rain unit, and being impossible to move in a X-axis direction. Said spindle is having a tool mounting portion on its end and a turn table located on a front side of said main unit. Said turn table is having a horizontal workpiece mounting face which rotates only in a C-axis direction. The machining centre also includes an automatic tool changer located on the rear side of said turn table on said main unit side having a tool change Position on a Y - Z plane. It also contents a separated control panel independently formed from said main unit. Said separated control panel is located on a rear side of said automatic tool changer. In that machining is a workpiece characterized. Said workpiece mounts face by rotation of said turn table in said C-axis direction and movement of said spindle in said Y-axis and Z-axis direction. A tool is exchanged between said spindle and said automatic tool changer by relative movement between said, spindles. Said automatic tool changer changes in said Y-axis direction and in said Z-axis direction.
