The name is given by the way the tools are mounted in the disk. In both cases it is helpful to
use the proper alignment mandrel for the alignment procedure.
The tool turret is mounted to the X-axis slide by using a pivot point in form of a dowel pin.
This dowel pin can be found on the right top corner of the tool turret (at tool turrets in the
bottom system, like at Hyperturns the pin can be found on the right bottom.
(The pin is always diagonal of the active tool on the turret body)

First the mandrel is mounted in the tool turret. It is important to watch out that the surface
between mandrel and tool turret disk is clean. Chips or dirt can cause a wrong measuring
result. An indicator is needed which gets mounted on a solid component of the machine such
as the tailstock or a second tool turret.
Never mount the indicator onto a sheet metal since that will change the
measuring result during axis movements.
The following measurements are necessary.
1.) Parallelism to the Z-Axis Movement (tool turret has shifted)
2.) Parallelism to the X-Axis Movement (tool turret disk has shifted)
3.) Checking the reference point value (Alignment to spindle center line)
Afterwards tap the turret with a plastic or rubber hammer around the pivot point into position.
Frequently check the result by moving the axis . Repeat until the measuring result shows the
turret alignment within in the tolerance. The manufacturers measuring protocol shows the
tolerance for this adjustment. In the end tighten the mounting bolts
with the according torque 70 Nm and check the alignment result one more time since
tightening the bolts could change the alignment again.

Move the X-axis to X0 and measure on all four measuring points. There should not be any
deviation.
Allowed tolerances can be taken from the geometry protocol !
If there is a deviation the disk can be moved into the proper position.
Loosen the mounting bolts for the tool turret disk and tap the disk with a plastic or rubber
hammer into the proper position.
Mounting bolts
At the same time correct the X-axis position in Increment-Mode. That is done until the
measuring result is within the tolerance.
The manufacturers measuring protocol shows the tolerance for this adjustment.
In the end tighten the mounting bolts with the according torque 40Nm and check the
alignment result one more time since tightening the bolts could change the alignment again.
Take the cover disk off and loosen the mounting bolts behind.
Note the positon of the disc cover since it is carrying the tool position
number. (important for remounting)

Mounting bolts
Loosen the mounting bolts for the tool turret disk to a light tension.
The mechanic of the drive coupling is blocking the access to 3 mounting
screws. It is necessary to swivel the turret backward 3 positions to have access
to this screws. After loosening the screws you swivel back to the previous
position.
Now tap the disk with a plastic or rubber hammer into the proper position.
The manufacturers measuring protocol shows the tolerance for this adjustment.
In the end tighten the mounting bolts with the according torque 40 Nm and check the
alignment result one more time since tightening the bolts could change the alignment again.
Because of the radius on the mandrel the measurement 1 Parallelism to the Z-axis
should be checked again and corrected if necessary.
Since the mandrel is already mounted it makes sense to check the also the
reference point setting now.
