<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a machine tool capable of shortening a tool change time by avoiding the contact of a large-diameter tool with a change arm, and to provide a control method for controlling tool change operations. <P>SOLUTION: When both a tool 24 attached to a machining shaft 9 and a tool 24 stored in a tool pot 31 are standard tools, the operation of the tool pot 31 to approach the change arm 18 and the operation of the machining shaft 9 (shaft base 3) to move to a change position are performed in parallel. The standard tools do not come into contact with the change arm 18 since they are small, and the tool change time can be shortened. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
