Mirac Tool Turret Drill Holder

Hi.

I am looking for the dimensions/hole locations of the drill/boring bar holder block used on the Mirac tool changer turret.

Odd that they should all be missing. Give me a few days and I'll produce some kind of drawing for you. Most of the details can probably be worked out from the holes in the turret though. They're used in conjunction with D25 round tool holders.

You'll be able to get most of the details you need from the pictures and by measuring the positions of the dowel holes and M6 tapped holes in your turret. I've attached a sketch showing other dimensions.

Note that the tool holders aren't as long as the sides of the turret's octagon and the toolholders line up with the bottom edge when viewed from the front.

I would suggest boring the 25mm holes using a boring tool held in the chuck. That way the drills will enter the exact centre of the work piece. The machine offset required for drilling holes should be shown on the machine somewhere. Use this offset when boring the holes.

Max.
