ABSTRACT:
A method of optimizing the tool selecting operation of a turret according to the contents of a machining program in a turret tool rest allowing a rotating tool to be fitted thereto, including a step (101) for determining whether the rotating tool is contained in various types of tools fitted to the turret, a step (102) for, when the rotating tool is contained, selecting whether the phase of the rotating motion of the rotating tool fitted to the turret is adjusted to be identical in each time the rotating tool is disposed at an indexing position, a step (103) for, when the phase of the rotating motion of the rotating tool is adjusted to be identical, performing a “less than one rotation control” in which the cumulative sum of the turning indexing motion of the turret in a same turning direction is less than one rotation, and a step (104) for, when the rotating tool is not contained in the fitted tools or the adjustment of the phase of the rotating motion is not performed even if the rotating tool is contained in the fitted tools, performing a “shortcut rotating control” in which the turning indexing motion of the turret is equal to or less than half a rotation in any turning direction.
