An accommodating device for accommodating an arbitrarily shaped object, comprising a base frame, at least one first base carrier support, which is arranged at the base frame and includes two guides, on which at least one first base carrier is displaceable on a first carrier displacement unit by way of a first base carrier drive, and a second base carrier, supported on a second carrier displacement unit, is displaceable by way of the first base carrier drive or by way of a second base carrier drive, a third base carrier, arranged on a third carrier displacement unit, being displaceable on the first base carrier support by way of a third base carrier drive, by way of the first base carrier drive or by way of the second base carrier drive, or the third base carrier being arranged on a second base carrier support, which is arranged at the base frame and includes two guides, on a third carrier displacement unit and being displaceable by way of the third base carrier drive, wherein an intermediate carrier support is arranged at each of the base carriers, along which an intermediate carrier is displaceable with an intermediate carrier displacement unit by way of an intermediate carrier drive at the respective base carrier, wherein a connecting carrier displacement unit is arranged on the intermediate carrier, by way of which a connecting carrier support is displaceable with an end-face tool holder by way of a connecting drive, so that the arbitrarily shaped object can always be received by at least three determination elements arranged at the tool holders of the base carriers, characterized in that the base frame, having a box design and comprising a guide for media via cables and hoses in the interior, is supported in the vertical on a substructure made of two pedestals. at least one first base carrier support, which is arranged at the base frame and includes two guides, on which at least one first base carrier is displaceable on a first carrier displacement unit by way of a first base carrier drive, and a second base carrier, supported on a second carrier displacement unit, is displaceable by way of the first base carrier drive or by way of a second base carrier drive, a third base carrier, arranged on a third carrier displacement unit, being displaceable on the first base carrier support by way of a third base carrier drive, by way of the first base carrier drive or by way of the second base carrier drive, or the third base carrier being arranged on a second base carrier support, which is arranged at the base frame and includes two guides, on a third carrier displacement unit and being displaceable by way of the third base carrier drive, wherein an intermediate carrier support is arranged at each of the base carriers, along which an intermediate carrier is displaceable with an intermediate carrier displacement unit by way of an intermediate carrier drive at the respective base carrier, wherein a connecting carrier displacement unit is arranged on the intermediate carrier, by way of which a connecting carrier support is displaceable with an end-face tool holder by way of a connecting drive, so that the arbitrarily shaped object can always be received by at least three determination elements arranged at the tool holders of the base carriers, characterized in that the base frame, having a box design and comprising a guide for media via cables and hoses in the interior, is supported in the vertical on a substructure made of two pedestals.
