<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tool exchange method of a machine tool which enables a long tool to be exchanged by attachment to or detachment from a spindle while achieving space saving and low costs.SOLUTION: A machine tool moves a long tool 2, which is provided so as to be detachably attached to a spindle 106, and a workpiece 1, which is placed on a table 102, relative to each other in a three-dimensional manner to perform processing to the workpiece 1 with the long tool 2. In a tool exchange method of the machine tool, the long tool 2 is transferred by a gantry loader 200, which transfers the workpiece 1 so that the workpiece 1 is placed on the table 102, so as to be disposed on the table 102 through a long tool support base 110. Then, the table 102 and the spindle 106 are moved relative to each other in a three-dimensional manner to attach the long tool 2 to the spindle 106.</p> |
