Overview of Flexible Transfer Machines (TRANS-N-CENTER FAST)

These flexible transfer machines are equipped with patented Multi-Process Modules (MPM), which are compact 3-axis, 3-tool modules designed for high efficiency. The key feature of these modules is their extremely fast tool-change time of only 0.4 seconds, enabling the consolidation of short machining operations, including off-center and interpolated tasks.

Key Specifications and Features:

• Multi-Process Modules (MPM): Compact 3-axis, 3-tool units with rapid tool change (0.4 seconds).
• Operation Flexibility: Ability to combine short machining operations, including off-center and interpolated movements, enhancing process efficiency.
• Clamping and Workholding Options: Machines can be equipped with continuous rotating CNC jaws or rotating fixtures that allow machining on five sides at any angle.
• Quick-Change Pallet Systems: Use of quick-change pallet-type clamping fixtures with multiple reference points (datums) for precise and rapid workpiece setup.

Applications and Machine Types:

• High production flexible transfer machines suitable for various machining tasks.
• Variants include FMC/FMS bar/coil multi-spindle machines and mill-turn multi-spindle machines.
• Linear and end-working machines are also part of the product range.

Summary: The TRANS-N-CENTER FAST flexible transfer machines provide a highly efficient and versatile solution for high-volume production environments. Their patented MPM technology significantly reduces tool change times and supports complex machining operations with flexible clamping options, making them suitable for multi-sided and multi-process machining tasks.
