Listed from the Mongtec Tool Holders — VDI & BMT, Ver 2026.3 catalogue for the VDI40 turret interface. This is the published range for that interface size, not a confirmed fit for this specific machine configuration — Mongtec engineering verifies interface dimensions, clearance and drive coupling per machine at RFQ.

Representative photographs of Mongtec driven and static turret tooling in the VDI40 class. These are production units from the Mongtec range, not renderings — but they are shown as examples of the VDI40 product family, not as the confirmed article number for this machine. Mongtec engineering verifies the interface, clearance and correct article code for your specific machine at RFQ.
Mongtec supplies BMT and VDI (DIN 69880) driven tool holders and static tooling compatible with the DMG MORI turret platform. Interface: VDI40 Trifix. The exact configuration is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ.
For the open VDI shank itself, yes — VDI (DIN 69880) is an open machine-side standard, so sourcing the holder elsewhere does not require a turret modification. Note however that this machine's turret carries the proprietary Sauter TRIFIX® alignment interface, which Mongtec does not supply and does not claim compatibility with; suitability for a given station is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ. Mongtec also publishes cross-reference pages for WTO, Heimatec, EWS, Eppinger, BIG and other brands.
Lead time is quoted per order and ships from Taichung, Taiwan. Every Mongtec driven tool holder is inspected before shipment (runout, torque, balancing) and ships with an individual inspection report.
This machine is built with either turret depending on configuration: 20-station builds use BMT40, 12-station builds use BMT60. The turret decides the holder, not the model name — so the station count is the first thing to confirm. Mongtec supplies both.

Mongtec driven and static tool holders are exported worldwide across five continents, and are supplied to machine tool manufacturers as well as to end users. Lead time is confirmed against the items and quantity you need.
To quote we need: the machine model and turret designation, the station count, a turret interface drawing or a clear photo of the turret face, the holder orientation (axial or radial) and the clamping or collet size you need, and the quantity. A drawing of the holder you are replacing works just as well.
Email info@mongtec.com to discuss your application and request drawings, or send an enquiry here. Mongtec engineering confirms the fit against your turret before quoting.

Machine builders regularly ship the same model with different turrets — station count, model suffix and the number of keys all change the mounting. The Hardinge Conquest H51 is BMT55 in the 12-station build and BMT45 in the 16-station build; the Okuma GENOS L300 M is VDI40, while the L300 MW/MYW uses a 65×73 mm bolt pattern. This is the single most common reason a driven tool holder arrives and will not bolt on. BMT bolt pattern reference — 38 patterns by machine builder →
Send your model and a photo of the turret face — we confirm the fit before quoting →
Whether a holder mounts is decided by the turret bolt pattern and the drive coupling, not by the machine name alone. The types below are published by Mongtec for this interface; the exact article number is confirmed against the actual turret drawing at RFQ.
