<p>A lathe, wherein its turret kinematically associated with a drive for its indexing, carries on its face a plurality of tool-holders and has a plurality of teeth on the peripheral cylindrical portion thereof, the number of said teeth corresponding to the number of the tool-holders, said teeth being adapted to interact with the actuating member of the mechanism for turret fixing in position. The turret indexing drive is essentially a reversible electric motor, and the turret fixing mechanism comprises a solenoid whose armature is associated, through a linkage, with the actuating member; provision is also made for a pickup adapted to monitor the turret teeth travelling through the zone of fixing, said pickup being electrically connected, through a switch, to the solenoid and motor control circuits.</p> |
