	Buffoli's history of commitment to innovation and continuous improvement began in 1961. Today, Buffoli offers the Trans-N-Center, a family of transfer machines that optimize flexibility and productivity in the context of total product quality and production process control (200mm cube). Trans-N-Center machines feature: - a wide application field of parts in steel, cast iron, bronze and brass, on one machine; - changeover times of between 15 and 120 minutes; - transfer machine productivity, with CNC ball screw reliability; - simultaneous processing of different parts (i.e. gate body and wedge); - one clamping machining with programmable chuck orientation; - programmable spindle inclination and translation; - multi-process modules with 3-4 axis capability (Buffoli tool heads); - static turning heads with CNC controlled interpolation capable of single-point turning, threading, grooving and profiling; - multi-media self-diagnostics and visual help; - automatic tool wear monitoring and compensation; - SPC system.
	COMPANY PROFILE Buffoli has been producing rotary transfer machines since 1958. Since that time, Buffoli has delivered over 600 Machines to a diverse group of customers worldwide. The machines are uniquely capable of producing high volume components requiring multi-side machining from bar stock, forging, casting or blank. Much of Buffoli"s world-wide business is represented by numerous machines operating throughout North America.
