The C-Series transfer machines operate from a pallet clamping system that targets the processing units with micro precision. Highest precision with the greatest flexibility.
The work piece can be processed in stationary or rotating mode and continuously positioned. It can be clamped as needed, either centrally using a 3-jaw chuck, a collet, or a mandrel.
The flexible modular design allows both the complex processing of a variety of work pieces and the subsequent extension of the system.
The two base models of the MT-C series, the MT-40-C and the MT-30-C, utilize a standardized modular design. The main differentiating factor is the maximum number of machining stations per machine, where workpieces are processed simultaneously.

OPTIMISED CHIP FLOW
Efficient rinsing and complete coverage of the circular table minimize cleaning costs. The machine bed, designed with a steep slope, facilitates rapid removal of chips.
COMPLEX MACHINING
Sophisticated turning and milling processes are carried out on up to 5 axes per processing unit. In addition to vertical and horizontal tool spindles, the individual processing units can be equipped with a tool turret, designed for turning operations, or used to reposition the workpiece.
FLEXIBLE MODULAR DESIGN
Standardized machine components and sophisticated modules enable a wide range of different configurations, suitable for various requirements. Processing units can be quickly replaced or expanded.
GOOD ACCESSIBILITY + MAINTENANCE
The clearly arranged operating and maintenance elements improve the ergonomic handling of the system. The extensive 300° swivel range of the control panel ensures a clear view of the individual machining stations in process monitoring.
LOW SPACE REQUIREMENT
The modern and compact design of the system allows for higher output per square meter of floor space.
