Abstract
A tool turret, with a base body (1) attachable to a machine tool defines a turret axis (13) around which the tool disk (7) is pivoted on the base body (1). The disk has a plurality of tool stations (45) distributed on its periphery. Turning the tool disk (7) can set it into at least one working position at a time. A tool drive (31, 35) located within the tool disk (7) with its output-side gear part (35) can be turned around an axis of rotation radial to the turret axis (13). By coupling, the tool device engages the tool-side coupling part for driving at least one tool located on the tool station (45) aligned to the working position. The output-side gear part (35) is located in the tool disk (7) to be pivotable around the turret axis (13). The tool disk (7) has a clutch (47) which can be switched between a first operating position in which the output-side gear part (35) for pivoting motion around the turret axis (13) is connected to the tool disk (7), and a second operating position in which the output-side gear part (35) is decoupled from the tool disk (7).
