Title:
TURRET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1981/000069
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A turret which can efficiently mount a number of cutting tools for a machine tool such as a numerically controlled lathe or the like. An indexing shaft (9) mounting the turret (8) is disposed in parallel with the surface of the bed, and at right angles to the axis (S) of a spindle (2) for holding a workpiece (W), but does not cross the axis (S). The turret (8) incorporates a polygonal section wherein the respective side surfaces form cutting tool mounting surfaces (F). The respective tool mounting surfaces (F) accomodate standards for mounting tool retainers (H), so that a plurality of tool retainers (H) can be mounted at desired positions in the direction perpendicularly crossing the axis (S) in parallel with each other. When one of the tool mounting surfaces (F) is indexed to be disposed at a cutting position, it is disposed in parallel with the surface of the bed at the position not crossed by the axis (S). Accordingly, a number of cutting tools (T) can be mounted on the turret (8), and the turret (8) can still be simply reduced in its size. In addition, the cutting work can be safely conducted and yet improved in efficiency.
