Machine
KesTECH has engineered high-precision rotary transfer machines since 1986, serving automotive, medical, and electrical manufacturers who require sub-0.03mm tolerances at high-volume production rates.
Background Knowledge
Understanding the technology helps clarify why KesTECH transfer machines are chosen over machining centers for high-volume precision manufacturing.
A rotary transfer machine indexes multiple workpiece pallets around a central table, with fixed machining stations performing simultaneous operations. This parallel processing model delivers dramatically shorter cycle times than sequential CNC machining.
Automotive, medical, and electrical components require tolerances that cannot vary batch-to-batch. KesTECH's hydrostatic spindle bearings and servo-driven linear guides maintain ±0.001mm positioning repeatability, ensuring every part meets spec.
Transfer machines outperform machining centers when annual volumes exceed ~50,000 identical parts, when cycle time is constrained, or when multiple faces must be machined without manual repositioning.
Product Lines
Four product lines address the full precision and scale spectrum, from ultra-high-precision aerospace/medical work to rugged, high-volume automotive mass production.
The ZERITH is KesTECH's highest-technology transfer machine, purpose-built for parts requiring tolerances of ±0.02mm and below. Its 2nd-generation Micron series spindles use cylindrical hydrostatic bearings, a quadruple rear bearing system, and dual servo-driven linear guides to achieve 0.001mm positioning repeatability. Ideal for stainless steel, aerospace-grade alloys, and demanding medical components.
The MULTIVEXA delivers the optimal balance of performance and cost for high-volume production requiring ±0.03mm precision. Its robust body design minimizes frame deflection, ensuring high stability and long service life. The MULTIVEXA is the workhorse of automotive production lines.
The TURVEX is an ultra-compact transfer machine for micro-scale components. At its core is the DDM-65 Direct Drive Spindle, offering speeds from 12,000 to 100,000 rpm. Its modular design enables complex multi-operation processing in a minimal footprint, suited to medical micro-parts, dental components, and precision electronic assemblies.
With 500+ custom transfer machines and systems built since 1986, KesTECH offers complete engineering-to-delivery custom solutions. The SPECIAL line includes multi-axis CNC milling machines, dual-spindle CNC lathes, chipless tube cutting machines, hydraulic presses, and panel radiator processing machines.
Industry Applications
KesTECH rotary transfer machines are deployed wherever high-volume precision machining of metal components is critical.
Transfer machines machine transmission components, engine parts, brake components, and chassis elements at production rates that individual machining centers cannot match.
The ZERITH and TURVEX series address extreme precision and surface finish requirements of medical implants, surgical instruments, and diagnostic equipment.
Connectors, terminals, relay housings, and precision electronic enclosures require high-volume machining with tight dimensional tolerances.
Any manufacturer producing 50,000+ identical metal parts per year with multi-face machining requirements benefits from KesTECH's rotary transfer architecture.
Why Choose Us
These are the technical and operational advantages that set KesTECH rotary transfer machines apart from general-purpose machining centers.
Founded in 1986, KesTECH has focused exclusively on transfer machine technology for four decades. That depth of expertise is something generalist machine tool builders cannot replicate.
KesTECH designs and manufactures its own spindle units (Pro Max, Micron, DDM Micro series), giving full control over the most critical element of machine precision and reliability.
The ZERITH series achieves 0.001mm positioning repeatability through hydrostatic bearings and servo linear guides, meeting the tightest aerospace and medical tolerances.
The TURVEX DDM-65 spindle reaches 100,000 rpm via Direct Drive, enabling micro-cutting speeds required for medical and electronic miniaturized components.
Backed by a €6M facility investment, KesTECH has scaled to 40 machines per year, ensuring lead time reliability for production-critical orders.
KesTECH exhibits at EMO Hannover, AMB Stuttgart, MECSPE, and IMTS, demonstrating live machine performance to a global audience of manufacturing engineers.
