Abstract
Some important technologies changed Rotary Transfer Machines (RTMs): now all the productive system is governed by a computer, CNC reduced set-up time and improved precision. Today modular flexible transfer with 3–8 units (equipped with 3 CNC axes) perform sequential machining and can work infinite shapes and dimensions within a 300mm cube. Static turning using 3 axes units is also allowed. We want to relate the production costs to the new kind of transfer machines. The investment is bigger than that of traditional RTMs, but the production costs can be reduced. The paper presents an algorithm allowing the choice of the correct level of automation able to ensure the smallest production costs.
