Abstract

An index-feed machining system having such a construction that a plurality of machining units on which a cassette incorporating a plurality of machining tools detachably mounted are disposed at intervals of mp (m being a given positive integer, p being a workpiece-feeding pitch) in the workpiece-feeding direction corresponding to a plurality of machining processes. The machining processes being sequentially performed by the machining units at the workpiece-feeding pitches, in which driving devices for driving the machining tools are provided in the cassette comprising a plurality of machining units, and the driving force of the driving devices of a particular machining unit is made larger than the driving force of the driving device of other machining units.
