[0002] CNC machine tool is the abbreviation of digital control machine tool, which is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. It does not require workers to directly operate the machine tool, but realizes processing by compiling a processing program. In the process of processing, due to the different processing accuracy requirements of different parts, the tool often needs to be replaced during processing. Therefore, setting a tool magazine on the CNC machine tool has become an indispensable choice for mechanical processing factories. Take the engraving machine and CNC as examples of CNC machine tools in the prior art. It is to add a tool magazine with a straight-row structure to the engraving machine and set a standby tool holder on the tool magazine. When the tool needs to be replaced, the tool to be replaced is first moved from the spindle to the standby tool holder, and then the tool magazine and the standby tool holder are moved to a position close to the spindle of the engraving machine, and then the spindle of the engraving machine is moved to place the original tool on the spindle into an empty position, and finally the tool to be installed in the tool magazine is installed on the spindle to complete the tool change operation.
