A tooling exchange mechanism and a machine tool having the tooling exchange mechanism, in which a load applied to a turret is reduced when exchanging a tooling in the machine tool, are provided with a pressing member 210 of a tooling detachment unit 200 that presses the rear end of a tooling holding unit 100 to be able to release the retracted state of a tool holder Th of a tooling T by a tool holder holding portion 150 of the tooling holding unit 100, and a locking lever 220 of the tooling detachment unit 200 engageable with an engaging projection 112a formed on the rear end side of the tooling holding unit 100.

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.

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

A tool turret, in particular intended for use in a machine tool, is for an automated tool change process. In a work station (7) of the pivotable tool disk (5), a holder (9) intended for receiving a machining tool (15) can be attached to the tool disk (5) in a re-detachable manner by a clamping device (31) assigned to the work station (7). In an adjusting position of the tool disk (5) that differs from the working position (11), the respective clamping device (31) can be activated or deactivated, while leaving the holder (9) on the tool disk (5). In a changing position of the tool disk different from the working (11) and adjusting positions (57), the clamping device (31) unlocks the holder (9) in such a way that the holder can be removed from the tool disk (5) and replaced with another holder (9) to be used.

A tool turret, in particular intended for the use in a machine tool and for an automated tool change process, wherein in at least one work station (7) of the pivotable tool disk (5) a holder (9) intended for receiving a machining tool (15) can be attached to the tool disk (5) in a re-detachable manner by means of a clamping device (31) assigned to the individual workstation (7), wherein, in a setting position of the tool disk (5) that differs from the working position (11), the respective clamping device (31) can be activated or deactivated while leaving the holder (9) on the tool disk (5), and wherein, in a changing position of the tool disk different from the working (11) and adjusting position (57), the relevant clamping device (31) unlocks the holder (9) in such a way that it can be removed from the tool disk (5) and replaced by another holder (9) holder to be used.

A machine tool includes: a turret configured to hold a tool through a clamp mechanism; a workpiece main spindle device configured to rotatably hold a workpiece; a switching unit configured to change a clamp state of the clamp mechanism by using rotation torque of the workpiece main spindle device; and an in-machine robot configured to move the switching unit. The clamp mechanism includes a torque input hole to which rotation torque is applied to change the clamp state. The switching unit includes an input shaft coupled with the workpiece main spindle device, an output shaft coupled with the torque input hole of the clamp mechanism and configured to output torque to the torque input hole, and a transmission mechanism configured to transfer, to the output shaft, the rotation torque of the workpiece main spindle device input through the input shaft.

A turret for tool machine includes: at least a turret body supported by the tool machine; at least a rotating drum supported by the turret body and supporting at least two tool holders upon which are mounted at least two rotating tools the rotating drum being mounted externally rotating around the turret body; at least an electrical spindle positioned in a recess inside the turret body; the electrical spindle extending itself around a vertical axis; the electrical spindle including a motor, a rotating shaft for the transmission of the movement associated to the motor and an engagement portion suitable for coupling to the tool holder; each tool holder extending itself along a vertical axis; the rotating drum being rotatably mounted around the turret body so as to rotate for aligning each tool holder with the engagement portion.
