ABSTRACT:
A novel machining center having a plurality of tools, including adjustable tools incorporating an externally accessible rotatable socket for fine-adjusting the tool bit thereon; a tool drive for actuating each tool; a storage device for storing a plurality of tools, at least one of which is one of the adjustable tools, the storage device being operable to move the tools between first and second positions; an automatic tool changer for transporting a tool in both directions between said first position and the tool drive; a powered wrench engagable with said socket on an adjustable tool disposed in said second position; a numerical controller for controlling the operations of said machining center; and a technique for inputing to the control means information as to the identity of a given adjustable tool requiring adjustment and the amount of adjustment desired, said powered wrench being actuatable to engage said socket of said given adjustable tool in response to said information when the given tool is in said second position. A novel method of handling tools is also disclosed.
