ABSTRACT:
The present invention has an object to provide a tool replacement system that is capable of preventing the waiting time from occurring as much as possible although an intermediate magazine arranged therefore has a smaller capacity than prior arts. In the tool replacement system, programs pertaining to the sequence of operation and operation time of operating tools7are established, wherein, when the operation time of individual tools7is shorter than the conveyance time for reciprocation of the tool conveyance apparatus3between the tool magazine1and the tool replacement arm4, the object can be solved by realizing transfer of at least a part of the tools planned to be operated in a next process of the corresponding individual tools7to the tool replacement arm4after the tools are arranged to the intermediate magazine5.
