A rotary transfer machine has multi-station functionality which leads to its main advantage, productivity. Each of the workstations is dedicated to a specific operation. They are capable of milling, drilling, and contouring a part. With this, by the time the part has moved around the entire table, it comes off completed.
This differs from traditional machining because it can simultaneously use 20 or more tools in the cut, making it an amazing multitasking machine tool. They are great for making parts with multiple features while also reducing cycle time and producing consistent quality in the finished part. Other obvious benefits include smaller carbon footprint, energy efficiency, reduced floor space, and ease of maintenance.
