Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1988/008764
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention relates to a high-efficiency tool selection system in working with a numerical controlled lathe having a plurality of turrets (3, 4). Tool replacement on the turret (4) to be used next has been instructed to a working program and the tool replacement on the turret (4) to be next used is executed concurrently with working with the tool (3a) of the turret (3) that is now in use, and the turret (4) is located to the work start point. In this manner, an idle time between working steps where the working turrets are replaced can be eliminated.
