the tools to-and-from each machine – changing the
‘stand-alone’ machine into a simple form of ex-
ible manufacturing system (FMS). It consists of a
‘tool hive’ stocker, which acts to store tools in a cen-
tralised and convenient location within the shop,
having a tool tarnsport controller – controlling the
overall system’s operation.
Such tool management systems are becoming quite
common-place in many highly-utilised manufacturing
environments around the world of late, which consid-
erably increases the overall utilisation rate of these au-
tomated CNC machine tools.
