IMAS IMASFLEX
Rotary transfer machines with up to 10 stations and 18 CNC units
IMASFLEX rotary transfer machines offer significantly more production flexibility than conventional transfer machines for single workpieces, homogeneous part families or even groups of completely different parts. Simply retool IMASFLEX rotary transfer machines and machine totally different workpieces than originally intended using the same rotary transfer machine. Because IMASFLEX is the machining solution that is never obsolete!

ADVANTAGES
HOW TO BENEFIT FROM IMASFLEX ROTARY TRANSFER MACHINES
Greater flexibility
IMASFLEX rotary transfer machines offer a 3-axis machining module (X, Y and Z) with A- or B-axis for satellites and a CNC position-controlled spindle. The rotating satellite permits turning operations. The modules can be configured with vertical or horizontal spindles.
Maximum precision
The high-precision rotary indexing table, satellites with NC drive and triple Hirth gearing or patented mechanics and special prism guides ensure high rigidity and low wear. Length measuring devices enable regenerative axis correction. The clamping pressure can be electronically programmed station-by-station and for the desired time.
Highest yield rates
IMASFLEX rotary transfer machines enable up to 18 simultaneous operations. Up to three spindles work simultaneously on the workpiece. Special heads ensure ideal cycle compensation and short cycle times. The chuck can be rotated on the fly. Fast table and turret head rotation along with optimized tool approach and retraction paths accelerate machining.
Ideal ergonomics
IMASFLEX rotary transfer machines offer complete machine sound insulation. Portable semi-wired or wireless panels facilitate simple manual operations, trial runs and tests. The three-stage, closed cooling system and mist extraction with mist collection system prevent environmental pollution.
