Abstract

See full text

A tool turret has a housing, a head connected nonrotatably with the housing, and a tool face arranged concentrically to and encompassing the head. The tool face is rotatable around the housing longitudinal axis relative to the housing and head, and is lockable in predetermined angular positions with the housing. A receiving and holding area for a drivable tool is provided in the tool face. A head shaft extends radially in the head relative to its central longitudinal axis. The head shaft can be driven through a miter-wheel gearing and a transmission shaft extending in the rotary axis of the tool face by a motor. A clutch is movable in a longitudinal direction along the head shaft axis relative to the driving shaft of a tool found in the work position, to join the head shaft and the tool shaft. A drive member is arranged in the head spaced in a circumferential direction from the clutch relative to the central longitudinal axis of the head and is connected through a mechanical power transmission arrangement with the clutch. The mechanical power transmission arrangement has an inherently stable power transmission element crossing the central longitudinal axis of the head at some radial distance.
