CBI - Bolt on interface
CDI
The bolt on interfaces are unique to each machine tool builder. The machine 
adapted clamping units (MACU) suit the specific machine model. 
CDI (Coromant Capto Disc Interface) was developed as a turret interface 
which can be standardized on regardless of the machine type. It is mainly 
European machine builders who supply CDI as a replacement to VDI.
Sub spindle
To be able to complete a part often machining from 
both sides is required. Sub spindles are often used in 
combination with a bar feed and with this combination 
unmanned production of completed parts is possible.
Lower revolver
For higher volume production the lower revolver can 
halve the cycle time compared to a single revolver. 
Typical applications are long slender components like 
shafts and machines with sub spindles. The draw 
backs of the lower revolver are reduced component 
diameter and increased programming and set up time 
making it suitable mainly for turning centers bought 
for dedicated components.
