Provided is an automatic tool exchange system in which, in the same machining center, a tool management mode can be freely selected from between a fixed address scheme and a memory random scheme, wherein a control unit for controlling a tool exchange device and a drive unit of a magazine includes: a storage unit for storing tool information in which relationships of correspondence between each of the tools and an address of a stowing section of the magazine are registered; a modifying means for modifying the tool information; and a tool exchange instruction unit for sequentially designating tools to be used at each machining step according to a machining program, driving the magazine on the basis of the tool information so that tools that have been designated come to an exchange position at a predetermined timing, and moving the stowing sections of the corresponding addresses of the tools to predetermined positions. The system is provided with, so as to be alternately switchable therebetween: a first tool management mode using the fixed address scheme for returning a tool after use to the corresponding address; and a second tool management mode using the memory random scheme, in which a tool after use is stowed in an address which is empty and in which a tool to be used next was stowed, and the relationships of correspondence between the tool after use and the address in the tool information is modified by the modifying means.

Provided is a clamp device capable of shortening a main shaft when compared with those thus far, by which a main shaft device can be downsized. In this clamp device for removably attaching a tool holder to a main shaft of a rotational main shaft device, a drawing sleeve 9 engaged via a steel sphere 13 is retracted, with retraction by a reciprocating drive mechanism, to a position where a through hole 12 of the drawing sleeve 9 reaches a rear-side large-diameter section 4d of an inner diameter region of a main shaft body 4 and the steel sphere 13 is retained between the rear-side large-diameter section 4d and a jig large-diameter section 14a, and, via an energizing force of an elastic member 10, the retracted drawing sleeve 9 retracts a drawing bolt 8 and a clamp sleeve 5 and a clamp mechanism is set to a clamped state thereby.

An automatic tool storing mechanism has a plurality of main magazines, transporting apparatus, and a tool exchanging arm. Each main magazine holds a large number of pots with tools. The transporting apparatus transports the pots with tools one by one between the main magazine and the waiting position close to the main spindle. The tool exchanging arm takes out an unused or preused pot with tool which is waiting at the waiting position and attaches it to the main spindle and also removes the used tool from the main spindle and places it in the pot.
A machining center is provided with a guard that covers a processing portion of a machine tool. An openable and closable operation door is provided at the guard front. The operation door is arched along a vertical direction from the guard surface. The operation door is provided with a handle used to open and close the operation door. The operation door is curved on an arched line that reaches a highest point at its center and lowers toward the top and bottom ends. The guard is provided with half-round LED display means protruding from the guard surface. The operation door is made of carbon fiber.
An automatic tool storing mechanism which has a plurality of magazines, a transporting device, and a tool exchanging part. Each magazine holds a number of pots each provided with tools. The transporting device transports tool-mounted pots one by one between the position close to the magazine and the waiting position close to the main spindle. The tool exchanging arm takes out an unused tool from the pot which is waiting at the waiting position and attaches it to the main spindle and also removes the used tool from the main spindle and places it in the pot.

An automatic tool storage mechanism has a plurality of magazines, a conveying means, and a tool exchange arm. A large number of pots to which tools are attached are stored in each magazine. The conveying means conveys pots each having one tool attached thereto between the position on the magazine side and the standby position near the main shaft. The tool exchange arm takes out a tool before use from a pot waiting in the standby position and attaches the tool to the main shaft, and takes out a used tool attached to the main shaft therefrom and attaches the tool to the pot.
A rectangular parallelepipedic (cuboidal) work is fixed by clamping the opposing two edges between clamp jaws attached to a pair of clamps. With the work fixed, at least one surface of the work is machined. Then, the position of the work is changed by rotating the clamps and the work all together around the rotating axis, and the other surface is machined. The foregoing step is repeated to machine all the six surfaces of the work, during which the work is kept fixed by clamping.
