Compare & Select 3 Types of CNC Lathe Turret Systems to Achieve High-efficiency

TMT provides a variety of CNC lathe turret systems. The power turret is divided into #BMTPowerTurret with high rigidity performance showing excellent milling ability; #VDIPowerTurret has the characteristics of fast calibration, installation and low procurement costs.

The following will take you to understand the differences and characteristics of various turret systems. You can choose suitable equipment according to different processing types and needs to achieve high-efficiency and high-yield production performance!

#HydraulicTurret

• The hydraulic motor is used as the power source, and the turret disc is forced to rotate through the cam.
• The turret disc need to be pushed out first for indexing.
• Simple structure, high durability, suitable for heavy cutting, and the cost is more competitive!

#ServoTurret

• Driven by servo motor, the motor is controlled by the servo driver to complete the indexing and positioning of the turret.
• The turret disc doesn’t need to be pushed out first for indexing.
• High positioning accuracy, fast indexing speed of the turret disc. The price is more expensive than the hydraulic turret.

#PowerTurret (BMT & VDI)

• The rotation and segmentation of the turret disc is driven by a dedicated servo motor; the power shaft is driven by a spindle motor.
• Whether it is an indexed C-axis, sub-spindle, Y-axis, etc., it must be equipped with a power turret to have the function of turning and milling.
• Complete machining of complex parts on one machine easily!
