from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A transfer machine is a permanently installed form of a workpiece conveyor , which ensures the automatic transport and positioning of workpieces between the stations of an assembly line production with CNC machines or within a machining center.

The transfer can either take place in a circle ( rotary transfer machine ) or along a line. (Linear transfer machine).
