Abstract
An automatic turret lathe has a main and a supplementary tool-carrying turret both being jointly movable in longitudinal and transverse directions with the turrets being indexable about an indexing axis. The supplementary turret is of smaller diameter than the main turret. Turning tools can be placed in the turrets so that a tool in one turret forms a pair with a tool in the other turret, and the turrets arranged so that both inside and outside machining of a workpiece can be carried out simultaneously. Tools can be placed in the carriers in the turrets to carry out a particular desired function. The supplementary turret can be removed for machining shafts. The turrets can be moved towards and away from as well as along the lathe axis.
Claims12
An automatic turret lathe comprising
- a bedplate;
- a main spindle having an axis of rotation for rotating a workpiece;
- a headstock on the bedplate carrying the main spindle;
- a tailstock slidably arranged on the bedplate and spaced longitudinally from the headstock;
- a main turret which is indexable about an indexing axis oriented transverse to said axis of rotation and has a plurality of main tool carriers;
- a removable supplementary turret disposed on the same indexing axis as the main turret and having a plurality of supplementary tool carriers arranged so as to form pairs with respective main tool carriers, the supplementary tool carriers being closer to the indexing axis than the main tool carriers;
- and
- a support on which both turrets are mounted and which is slidable in longitudinal and transverse directions on the bedplate.
