 | Mikron’s machining and assembly solutions are based on the technical principle of the transfer machine. The underlying rationale is to achieve three aims.
- Productivity
A transfer machine works simultaneously at several stations set up in sequence. Parts are clamped into special gripping devices or placed on a workpiece holder and “transferred” from one station to the next. Depending on the type of machine, transfer is either rotary (rotary transfer machine) or linear (linear transfer machine). Machining several parts in parallel leads to high productivity levels.
- Precision
The typically small workpieces are secured or precisely placed and positioned by the transfer machine itself. This ensures a high degree of precision, even with complex parts.
- Reliability
Transfer systems are set up in permanent configuration to ensure high process security and reliability, even after many years of use.
