METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POSITIONING TOOLS

摘要

A method for positioning tools comprises a first process for moving all tools into a stand by reach and a second process for moving tools into a positioning reach, and the second process comprises steps of moving a tool onto an origin and moving the tool from the origin by a distance equal to a desired distance between the tool and a following tool. An apparatus for positioning tools is provided with a single signal generator rotated by a rotating shaft for moving shifters, by which the tools are moved in the positioning and stand-by reaches.
