To eliminate the need for manual input of tool information to a control apparatus which is otherwise required to replace a cartridge, thereby reducing the time required to arrange for replacement of cartridges and avoiding input errors. The present invention is applied to a punch press in which a cartridge (6) on which a plurality of tools (7,8) are mounted is replaced for processing. The punch press includes a control means (4) for controlling a press machine body (1) and a tool information storage means (15) for storing plural pieces of tool information (Da,Db) and tool identification information (P) on each of the tools (7,8) in such a way that the pieces of information mutually correspond. It also includes a cartridge replacement input means (17) for inputting the tool identification information (P) to the control means (4). The control means (4) has an identification means (20) for using the input tool identification information (P) to identify the tool information (D) on the plurality of tools (7,8) stored in the tool information storage means (15). |
