DUPLOMATIC TURRET BSV/N 160 TOOL PLATE 12 POSITIONS PERFECTLY WORKING 

### **Duplomatic BSV/N 160 Turret with 12-Position Tool Holder Plate**

The **tool turret** is a crucial component in machine tools, such as lathes and machining centers, enabling rapid and automatic tool changes during machining operations. The Duplomatic BSV/N 160 turret is a specialized model that offers precision, robustness, and reliability in industrial settings.

#### **How ​​It Works**
The Duplomatic turret works by rotating the tool plate to position the desired tool in correspondence with the spindle or work surface. Tool selection and positioning are automated, reducing downtime and increasing the efficiency of the machining process.

#### **How ​​it's Built**
The BSV/N 160 turret is constructed using high-quality materials and components to ensure precision and durability. Its main parts include:
- **Turret Body**: Made of cast iron or other durable materials to absorb vibrations and ensure stability.
- **Tool Plate**: The rotating part that houses up to 12 different tools. Each tool is mounted in a predefined position.
- **Clamping System**: A precision mechanics that locks the selected tool in place, ensuring stability during machining.
- **Drive Motor**: Powers the rotation of the tool plate to select the correct tool.
- **Electronic Control System**: Manages the entire tool selection and locking process, integrating with the machine's numerical control (CNC).

#### **How ​​to Use**
The turret is integrated into a machine tool, such as a CNC lathe. During machining, the machine control system sends a command to the turret to select the tool needed for a specific operation. The turret rotates to bring the tool into position, locks it securely, and allows machining to begin. After use, the turret can rotate again to select another tool, continuing the production cycle without significant interruptions.

#### **Sectors of Use**
Duplomatic turrets are widely used in industries requiring high-precision machining and advanced automation, including:
- **Automotive Industry**: For the production of complex components such as crankshafts, gears, and other mechanical parts.
- **Aerospace**: In the machining of aircraft parts and satellite components.
- **Renewable Energy**: For the production of wind turbine parts and other equipment.
- **Medical**: In the production of surgical instruments and medical device components.
- **Precision Mechanics**: For the production of high-precision mechanical components.

#### **Why It's Used**
The Duplomatic turret is used for its ability to improve productivity, reduce cycle times, and increase the precision of machining operations. The ability to have 12 tools ready for use allows for quick transitions from one operation to another without having to stop the machine to manually change tools.

#### **Existing Types**
There are different types of tool turrets:
- **Indexable Turrets**: Allow the tool to rotate and lock in predefined positions.
- **Motorized Turrets**: In addition to rotating, they can activate rotating tools such as milling cutters or drills.
- **Manually Changed Turrets**: Require operator intervention to change tools.

#### **Why Buy Used**
Buying a used Duplomatic turret can be advantageous for several reasons:
- **Lower Cost**: New turrets can be very expensive, especially high-precision models. Buying used significantly reduces the cost.
- **Reliability and Durability**: Duplomatic turrets are designed to last. Even when used, these turrets generally maintain high reliability.
- **Immediate Availability**: Delivery times for new turrets can be long. A used unit is often available immediately.
- **From Decommissioned Machinery**: Used turrets often come from machines that have been decommissioned or upgraded, but are still in excellent operating condition.

### **Conclusion**
The Duplomatic BSV/N 160 turret with 12-station tool holder is a key component for improving efficiency and precision in machining. Purchasing a used model can represent an excellent opportunity to reduce costs without sacrificing performance, especially in contexts where high productivity and precision are essential.
