The VTC 100 GT has a disk-type turret that can hold up to 11 tools, with the 12th tool place in the turret taken up by a loading gripper. Optionally, the machine can be equipped with a live tool turret featuring powered tools and a Y-axis. It also has a grinding wheel.
First, the gripper takes the component from the raw parts store and transports it into the clamping position where the turret tools can then complete turning operations, for example. Any grinding process takes place immediately afterwards in a second step. After machining, the workpiece is unloaded by the gripper.
