摘要

The transfer machine has a support pilar with a screwed jacking foot threaded to the bottom of a tube. A support table is carried on one pillar, holding a vibrating table feeding work-pieces to a machine tool which is mounted on a second similar pillar. All electrical and pneumatic circuit signals are carried to the tool head through the centre of the pillar. Other pillars are used to turn the workpiece or to remove it or to transfer it ot another process, depending on the type of attachment mounted on it. The pillars can be arranged alongside a conveyor belt or around a turntable.
