Publication number: 20130025408Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for indexing a turret of a multi-spindle machine tool. The system includes: a turret designed to rotate about an axis; and a turret drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is designed to index the turret in order to position the turret angularly in a free manner while rotating about said axis, and the drive mechanism is designed to lock the turret in this position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2011Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: TORNOS SAInventor: Marco Vettori

Patent number: 6655245Abstract: A method of optimizing the functioning of a machining center for machining, at least one piece, by removal of material by means of at least one cutting tool. The machining center includes a certain number of different components including at least a structure, such as a frame, and at least one motor elements for producing actions of driving and displacement of at least the cutting tool and the piece. Further, the method includes an installation for lubricating and cooling the tool and the piece by means of a fluid, (i.e., lubricant) by determining at least one temperature value for the lubricant, at least empirically, referred to as the reference value, at which the machining center functions in a stable way, (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Tornos SAInventor: Patrick Schuettel
