automatic tool changer
A device that stores several tools, each in its own pocket or tool holder, and can automatically move the required tool into position. In a milling machine, this device removes the tool from the spindle, places it back in the correct pocket, and inserts a new tool into the spindle. In a turning machine, this device (known as a turret) rotates the required tool into position and continues to hold it during the cut.
