Mikron says its Multistar is a versatile system for small precision parts and the transfer machine is well known for its wide range of applications. It is said to work well for parts for injection systems and gas burners, electrical connectors, communications and audio/video as well as medical components and implants.

Multistar machines parts made from materials such as steel, nonferrous metals or aluminum, in the diameter range from 0.4 to 35 mm with maximum lengths of up to 65 mm. The high-precision rotary transfer machine has 24 stations. There are also full CNC or mechanically actuated versions. All are said to offer highly accurate manufacturing and repeatability.

The Multistar CX-24 is designed for precise performance and speed. It controls spindle movements with linear curves. The quickly interchangeable control curves are said to provide processing flexibility, and 24 additional intermediate stations enable measuring, turning over of the workpiece — also in different shape, monitoring and cleaning procedures in the processing cycle.

The machine is said to enable precise serial production of part families and demanding workpieces with ± 2.5 μm table index accuracy. Up to 44 machining units can operate simultaneously at 24 stations, assuring a very high output rate.
