CNC vertical lathe is an efficient and precise processing method, and an important part of its tool system is the tool turret. There are usually several types of turrets for CNC vertical lathes, including fixed turrets, magazine turrets and right-angle turrets. This article will introduce these three types of turrets and their applications in detail.

CNC vertical lathe fixed turret is the most common type of turret and also the simplest one. Its structure is simple and easy to operate, and it is suitable for processing small workpieces and parts with simple shapes. The fixed turret consists of a turret base and a tool holder. A tool is placed on each tool holder, and the workpiece can be processed into the required shape in sequence. However, it can only use a limited number of tools and cannot meet the processing needs of complex workpieces.

The CNC vertical lathe tool magazine turret is a turret system that can automatically switch tools. It can store multiple tool holders and tools, and different tools can be quickly changed through the automatic switcher. This kind of turret is suitable for processing complex workpieces and production occasions requiring high efficiency. However, the structure of the tool magazine turret is more complex than that of the fixed tool turret, which requires high cleaning and maintenance requirements for the tools and tool holders, and the cost of use is also relatively high.

The CNC vertical lathe right-angle turret is a turret system that can process in multiple directions. It can achieve multi-sided processing of workpieces through a rotating turret, and is suitable for processing complex workpieces with multiple sides and angles. Right-angle turrets generally come in three forms: horizontal, vertical and tilted, each with its own specific advantages and applications. However, the structure of the right-angle turret is complex, requires precise adjustment and maintenance, and the cost of use is relatively high.

When selecting the turret type for CNC vertical lathe, you need to choose it according to the actual processing needs. The fixed turret is suitable for processing simple workpieces, the magazine turret is suitable for processing complex workpieces, and the right-angle turret is suitable for multi-faceted and multi-angle processing. Choosing the right turret can improve processing efficiency, reduce costs, and improve processing quality. Therefore, turret selection is also a very important factor when planning machining.
