Rotary transfer machine

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

[1][2][3] In rotary transfer machines, the workpieces are located and clamped in pallet type fixtures that are indexed in a circular path.

The indexed table turns vertically or horizontally, and its movement could be continuous or intermittent.

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

Rotary transfer machines can generally cope with all standard machining operations like turning, milling, drilling, reaming, threading, recessing, marking, deburring, etc... for sizes ranging more or less from a fingernail up to a backpack.
