A workpiece installation method includes obtaining a reference image that shows a reference workpiece whose posture has been adjusted, setting workpiece reference lines on a boundary of a first image area occupied by the reference workpiece in the reference image, obtaining a measurement image that shows a workpiece, generating, using a processor, a measurement combined image in which workpiece reference lines are superimposed on the measurement image and which shows the workpiece reference lines pass through positions respectively identical to workpiece reference line positions, and adjusting a posture of the workpiece such that a boundary of a second image area occupied by the workpiece in the measurement combined image is shown to be substantially parallel to or substantially coincident with the workpiece reference lines.

Workpiece installation method and workpiece installation support system

The invention provides a vertical turret lathe capable of preventing an inner diameter turning tool attached to a turret tool rest from interfering with a workpiece during machining of the outer diameter of the workpiece. The vertical turret lathe comprises a work table that holds a workpiece Wand rotates, and a working headhaving a turret tool restand capable of moving in X-axis and Z-axis directions. A tool holderfor holding an inner diameter turning tool Tvia hydraulic pressure is attached to a part of the tool supporting portionsof the turret tool rest. The automatic tool changer apparatusincludes a turret-type tool magazineand pistonsand, which mechanically press the pinsandof the tool holderand clamp or unclamp the tool T.
