Abstract
A magazine includes: a first driving mechanism unit that rotates tool pots so as to position, at a first position, an identifier in a tool pot placed at a transportation position different from a magazine-side tool change position and so as to position, at a second position, an identifier in a tool pot placed at the magazine-side tool change position; and a second driving mechanism unit that moves a reading device so as to position the reading device at a third position when reading the identifier by the reading device and so as to position the reading device at a fourth position when transporting the tool pots.
