The Mikron NRG-50 rotary transfer machine from Mikron enables higher levels of accuracy to be met with the combination of multitude of production sequences into a single-hit cycle. 

The machine has as many as 140 CNC axes and 30 NC-controlled machining heads able to provide up to five axes of movement. It is capable of four-axis interpolation for milling cycles and is able to carry as many as 96 tools with automatic tool changing, if required.

Because of construction and incorporation of thermal stabilization techniques, the machine has an accuracy capability of ± 1.5 microns at a measuring diameter on the rotary table of 1,400 mm. As many as three NC heads can be operated simultaneously at each machining station and the machine is able to turn by rotating the workholding collets at as much as 6,000 rpm. It is also able to deep hole drill, mill, thread cut, deburr and even carry out measurement, subassembly and testing sequences while meeting high levels of process security, the company says.
