High-Speed Transfer System / 05

High-Speed Transfer Systems

Kataken Seiko develops and manufactures in-house High-Speed Transfer Systems that automatically convey parts in a transfer die to the next station at high speed. We handle everything in-house, from dies and equipment to mass production.

WHAT IS A HIGH-SPEED TRANSFER SYSTEM?

What Is a High-Speed Transfer System?

A high-speed transfer system is a mechanism that grips the part at each station of a transfer die and automatically moves it to the next station at high speed. A transfer die consists of single-operation dies, each performing just one process, arranged in sequence.

The transfer mechanism moves in sync with the press. The feed bars perform three-dimensional motions (clamping and unclamping, advance and return, and lift and lower) to move the gripped workpiece to the next station, allowing multiple processes to be performed continuously at high speed.

Lineup & Specifications

Lineup and Specifications

Kataken Seiko offers a lineup of transfer systems with different drive methods. We select the optimal method and model based on the product's weight, shape, and production volume.

Servo Drive

Servo Drive

The transfer mechanism is driven by servo motors. Motions can be freely programmed, and the system can be retrofitted to general-purpose presses. Its three-dimensional motion handles the transfer of a wide variety of products.
KTE II
KTES
KTES-HS

Mechanical Drive

Mechanical Drive

The transfer mechanism is driven by mechanically converting the motion of the press. KTM is used in combination with a dedicated press, while KTME uses a servo-driven unit retrofitted to a general-purpose press.

KTE II

High-Speed 3D Servo Transfer Unit

Servo Drive
Double-Bar Type
Retrofits to General-Purpose Presses

KTE II is a double-bar transfer unit with two feed bars that carry parts to the next station. It is suited to transferring heavy products and large products with transfer pitches of up to 500 mm.

KTES / KTES-HS

High-Speed 3D Servo Transfer Unit

Servo Drive
Single-Bar Type
Retrofits to General-Purpose Presses
KTES is a single-bar transfer unit with one feed bar. It is suited to lightweight products and makes die maintenance easier. The KTES-HS series uses linear servo motors to achieve even faster transfer. The rightmost column of the table (KTES200HS-200L) is the KTES-HS series.

KTM

High-Speed Mechanical Transfer Press System

Mechanical Drive
3-Axis Cam
Dedicated Press
KTM is a mechanical transfer system that mechanically converts the press drive and moves the transfer mechanism with 3-axis cams. It is used in combination with a dedicated press. Several press systems with different capacities are available to suit your application.

KTME

High-Speed Mechanical Servo Transfer System

Mechanical (Servo Drive Unit)
Retrofits to General-Purpose Presses
KTME is a mechanical transfer system whose transfer unit is driven by a servo motor. Mounted on a general-purpose press, it enables high-speed transfer processing. Two types with different transfer pitches are available to suit your application.

Benefits

Features of Our High-Speed Transfer Systems

01

Reduced Material Loss

Less Material Loss

A transfer method suited to mass-produced parts improves material yield. It is especially effective for drawing and large parts.

02

Fast, Stable Mass Production

High-Speed Production

Synchronized with the press, the system performs each process continuously at high speed, enabling high-volume production with consistent quality.

03

Retrofit to General-Purpose Presses

Retrofit Ready

The servo types (KTES and KTE II) and KTME can be mounted on existing general-purpose presses, so you can make use of your current equipment.

04

Flexible 3D Motion

3D Motion

X, Y, and Z motions can be freely programmed to handle even products with complex shapes.

Integrated

Dies, Equipment and Mass Production In-House

In addition to transfer dies, Kataken Seiko develops and manufactures the high-speed transfer systems (equipment) that convey the parts. Because we can design the die and equipment as one, we achieve fast, stable mass production.

We can also handle mass production by stamping in-house. Having dies, equipment, and mass production all from a single company is one of Kataken Seiko's strengths.

01

In-House Transfer Equipment

In-house Equipment

We develop and manufacture transfer units in-house.

02

Integrated Design

We design the die and equipment together to get the most out of both.

03

In-House Mass Production

In-house Production

We handle mass production by stamping in-house.

FAQ

FAQ

Can the system be retrofitted to a general-purpose press?
Yes. The servo types (KTES and KTE II) and KTME can be retrofitted to general-purpose presses. KTM is used in combination with a dedicated press.
What is the difference between the servo and mechanical types?
The servo type drives the transfer mechanism with servo motors, allowing motions to be freely programmed. The mechanical type is driven by mechanically converting the motion of the press. The choice depends on the product and application.
Which model should I choose?
The right model depends on the product's weight and shape, the transfer pitch, and the required speed. Please contact us first. After learning about your requirements, we will propose the optimal model.
Can I also order the transfer die?
Yes. Kataken Seiko handles everything in-house, from dies to transfer units. You can consult us about the die and equipment together.
Can you help with integration into an existing production line?
Yes, please contact us. We will propose the best approach based on your equipment and the products you manufacture.
