The tool clamping part (14) and the machine-tool coupling part (12) are connected for common rotation about the tool holding axis (S).

The support body may carry a grinding spindle at one station and a tool turret mounting tool on another station.

An indexing tool turret assembly is disclosed including a rotatable indexable turret tooling plate having mounted thereon stationary as well as live tooling.

The lathe is comprised of a main spindle (10), a first primary tool-holder turret (12), a second primary tool-holder turret (16) which both carry respectively tools (13, 17).

A continuous tool rotation tool turret is comprised of a turret head, a plurality of spindles and a motor.

Two separate pairs of rails (38, 40; 22, 24) mounted offset from each other are provided for mounting a secondary spindle (44) and a tool turret (32), respectively.

The machine also has a tool turret (3) which can be coupled so as to turn about an axis (3a) and which is mounted on a first carriage (5, 6) that can be moved in two directions at right angles to each other.

A turret-mountable live center for rotatably supporting one end of a workpiece in a lathe having at least one toolholding turret is provided.

A laser measuring system is associated with a two axis turning machine (10), having a tool turret (12), to permit the dimensions of a machined part to be ascertained without removal of the part or workpiece from the chuck (18) of the machine.

The cryogenic coolant (5) can be conveyed to the tools (20) in a simple and reliable manner by means of the tool revolver.

The invention relates to a lathe with a part manipulator comprising at least one head (2) and at least one tool turret (13).
