PURPOSE:To reduce a floor space as well as to simplify a work transfer line in terms of structure, by making a pallet mount truck for feeding a tool cassette or a work so as to combinably serve as a changing device or a recovery device for a chip bucket. CONSTITUTION:A traveling route 7 of a transfer truck ATC is installed in position along a work transfer line where plural machining centers (M) are set up. In front of the specified position, for example, the machining center (M) along this traveling route, there is provided with a stand-by station 8 for pallets 2. Hereat, a tool cassette 17 or each pallet 2 assumes a posture of standing by, while these pallets 2 are fed to each chip bucket 1 and each tool cassette 17 or each machining center (M) being fed onto the transfer truck in a state of loading the work. Delivery of chips takes place at a chip bucket operation station 4. |
