Abstract
An equipment of a machine tool for exchanging one tool attached to a main spindle into the other tool in a tool pot by memorizing a relative location between a terminated position of the cross rail and an elevator position of the tool pot of the tool-pot magazine mounted at one side of a gate-type column of the machine tool and being provided with corresponding detachable tool therein, calculating necessary movement distance of the tool pot with reference to the relative location, operating the tool-pot magazine by the calculated movement distance by a servo motor, and exchanging one tool attached to a main spindle into the other tool.
