rotary transfer machine

Such rotary transfer machines are used for producing a large lot of parts in fairly short cycle times.

Selection of brass and aluminium fittings produced on rotary transfer machines.

Annual production capacity of one rotary transfer machine can range from 100'000 units to tens of millions of units.

Rotary transfer machines are commonly used for mass-production of metal parts in the automotive industry and for pneumatic and hydraulic fittings.

In rotary transfer machines, the workpieces are located and clamped in pallet type fixtures that are indexed in a circular path.

A rotary transfer machine is a machine tool, typically for metal working by machining, comprising a large indexing table with machining stations surrounding the table.

Similarly, CNC chuckers were developed, eventually evolving even into CNC rotary transfer machines.

Today, numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools such as turning centers, turn-mills, and rotary transfer machines have largely supplanted cam-operated automatics.
