Rotary transfer machine designed with various components of the item MB Building Kit System. The manufacturing of contacts for switching devices requires high-precision and high-quality machinery. The rotary transfer machine of itus-Industrietechnik und Sondereinrichtungen allows a precise and cost-effective handling of this task. The housing is made of various components of the MB Building Kit System of item Industrietechnik.

The process: Every 4.5 seconds, the machine operator hand feeds a raw part at an exactly defined place of the rotary transfer unit. Afterwards, the workpiece is conveyed to the respective operations within the machine. Before it reaches a welding station, the silver contact material from a coil is cut into platelets of identical lengths by a cutter during a secondary operation. The raw part is then welded in the welding station. During a next step, the position of the silver platelet is optically and mechanically checked. This allows to check if it as been correctly welded and if it is a the right place. When the workpiece is flawless, it is bent during a next step and then led out of the unit.
