POWER TURRET

What is a Power Turret?

A power turret is a CNC turret equipped with live tool holders, capable of driving tools for milling, drilling, tapping, and other operations. It can perform not only turning but also turn-mill compound machining, significantly improving production efficiency.

Technical Features and Drive Methods of CNC Power Turrets

1.Multi-Functional Tool Support:
The power turret can hold both static and live tools, enabling turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in a single setup. This greatly enhances machining flexibility and efficiency.

2.High-Rigidity Structure Design:
Designed with a high-rigidity structure, the power turret remains stable under heavy-load machining, reducing vibration and improving machining accuracy.

3.Fast Tool Change:
The power turret supports fast tool changes, reducing downtime for tool replacement and improving overall production efficiency.

Difference Between Power Turret and Servo Turret

Power Turret:Equipped with an internal motor to drive the tool holders, supporting multi-operation machining, ideal for turn-mill compound applications.

Servo Turret:Driven by a servo motor, mainly used for fast tool indexing and high-precision positioning, suitable for pure turning applications.

Applications of Power Turrets

Automotive Manufacturing: Machining complex parts such as engine components and transmission housings.

Aerospace: High-precision machining of aircraft structural parts and engine components.

Medical Devices: Precision machining of surgical instruments, implants, and other medical components.

Mold Manufacturing: Complex cavities for injection molds and die-casting molds.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: What is the difference between a power turret and a conventional turret?
A: A conventional turret only holds static tools for turning. A power turret with live tool holders can perform milling, drilling, and tapping, enabling multi-operation machining.

Q: How much can a power turret improve production efficiency?
A: Based on customer cases, a power turret can reduce the number of workpiece setups by 50%–70% and increase overall production efficiency by 20%–30%.

Q: Which CNC machines are compatible with Fagor power turrets?
A: Compatible with Mazak, DMG Mori, Okuma, Haas, Biglia, and supports multiple turret standards (VDI, BMT, BT, HSK, etc.).

Q: How is after-sales service for the power turret guaranteed?
A: Wuxi Fagor provides technical support, spare parts replacement, and installation guidance.

Q: How long is the delivery time?
A: Generally 3–7 days if the goods are in stock. If out of stock, delivery usually takes 8–20 days.
