Abstract
A task of insertion of a tool is continued even when the insertion of the tool is failed in a shrink fitting method. A shrink fitting system for shrink-fitting a tool to a holder includes: a heating device that heats the holder; an insertion device that inserts the tool into the heated holder; and a control device for the shrink fitting system. The insertion device includes a sensor that detects a failure of insertion of the tool into the holder. Based on the failure of the insertion of the tool into the holder being detected, the control device performs at least one of outputting, to the insertion device, a command for adjusting an insertion position of the tool or for replacing the tool and outputting, to the heating device, a command for re-heating the holder.
