Abstract
A hollow column is provided for a tool turret with a housing that is to be connected to a machine tool or the like, with a drive motor, and with a tool disc which has receptacles for tools, the tool disc being mounted rotatably relative to the housing and being lockable in selectable angular positions. The hollow column is nonmoveable relative to the housing. A shaft which extends in the longitudinal direction of the column, and which can be driven by the drive motor is disposed within the hollow column. That tool, which is inserted into the receptacle that is situated in the working position, can be driven by the shaft. At least one line is provided in the column so as to be part of a system provided for the transfer of energy, lubricant, coolant, pressure or the like.
