The NC turret produced by technology introduced from Braunfeld S.P.A. Italy, is an important equipment of high performance and key part for full-function NC. lathe. It is designed to hold several tools featuring bidirectional indexing and shortest indexing path. So that automation and high accuracy of operational procedures can be realized.

It utilizes a face gear coupling as indexing mechanism. Indexing sequence is mainly controlled by a binary absolute encoder; clamping and unclamping of turret are signaled by a proximity switch which is connected together with the encoder to PC. With indispensable matching attachment, turret disc, tool holder (such as turning tool holder, boring tool holder, collet and Morse tool shank), complicated work procedures can be realized. Other tool holders are on special orders. The NC tool turrent has 6 specifications, with each having both 8 and 12 stations.
