Abstract
A tool turret, in particular provided for the use for a machine tool, has a pivotable tool disk (10), which has on its outer circumference a plurality of receptacles (14) for holders (18) provided with working tools. The holders (18) are attached to the tool disk (10) in a changeable manner by a fixing device (20). Each holder (18) can be swiveled into a working position to permit the assigned working tool to be driven by a drive (22). For this purpose, the working tool can be coupled to an output shaft (16) of the respective holder (18) by a coupling device (26). The fixing device (20) can be actuated by the drive (22) when this drive (22) is uncoupled while stopping the working tool.
