Introduction to Turret Heads

Turret heads, also known as revolver turrets, are designed to enhance the flexibility and capabilities of machine tools. They enable multiple machining operations such as drilling, tapping, boring, and milling.

Applications

• Drilling
• Tapping
• Boring
• Milling

These turret heads can be mounted directly on the spindle nose of a machine tool or motorized and moved via one or more axis slides.

Configurations and Options

• Multi-spindle heads
• Angular heads
• Speed increasers (multipliers)

This variety allows adaptation to different machining requirements and enhances productivity.

Quality Control and Testing

Each individual component undergoes precise measurement and testing. The fully assembled turret heads are then tested on coordinate measuring machines in a climate-controlled environment to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Technical Features

The turret heads incorporate precision bearings (e.g., 6499/B type) and front gear teeth for robust and accurate operation. The design emphasizes durability and precision to meet demanding machining tasks.

Summary of Key Points

• Purpose: Increase machine tool flexibility and machining potential.
• Operations: Drilling, tapping, boring, milling.
• Mounting: Direct spindle mounting or motorized with multi-axis slides.
• Options: Multi-spindle, angular heads, speed increasers.
• Quality: Component-level inspection and final assembly testing with coordinate machines.
• Construction: Precision bearings and gear teeth for reliable performance.
