PURPOSE:To make possible to automatically exchange tools with respect to a machine tool, by providing a means for controlling a tool stocker, a tool gripper, a traverser device and a machine tool in accordance with production management data. CONSTITUTION:A tool stocker 21 stores a plurality of modules at predetermined positions, and a tool gripper 33 takes out a module from the tool stocker 21 and then assembles and disassembles the same. Further, a traverser device 29 shifts the tool gripper 33 to shift the assembled modular tool onto a delivery bed 34, and also stores a modular tool into the tool stocker 21 from this delivery bed 34. Further, a machine tool has a spindle which is attached thereto with the tool modular received from the delivery bed 34 and carried out a machining process, and which shifts a used modular tool onto the delivery bed 34. A control device 40 controls the tool stocker 21, the tool gripper 3, the traverser device 29 and the machine tool 11.
