Buffalo Machinery Co., LTD.

Buffalo Machinery is one of the fastest-growing machine tool manufacturing companies in Taiwan. Located in Taichung, a global cluster in the industry, it produces quality machines with excellent customer service. Since its establishment, it has adhered to the value of "Quality and Service Build our Business", providing outstanding products, technologies and high-quality services. Buffalo Machinery maintained the business philosophy of stable innovation, continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and established a high-quality brand. Through the concept of Agile Smart Machining, our patented SMT -Smart Machining Technology (SMT™) and Intelligent Monitoring System (ART™) using the techniques of monitoring and compensation to improve accuracy and productivity. By embracing Industry 4.0 technologies, Buffalo Machinery is developing functions to upgrade reliability and predict service requirement to avoid downtime. Buffalo supplies a wide range of products, divided into two brands. MICROCUT, the original brand since 1983, covers most of the product lines and aims to deliver quality machines at competitive prices focusing on the relationship with the dealer and the end-user. Buffalo has established its high-end brand AXILE in 2017. With a dual-brand marketing strategy, MICROCUT as a general product brand continuing to strengthen its market share, and AXILE is guided by Digitalized Intelligent Automation technology to meet the needs high-end markets of aerospace, die & mold and medical industries. Our goal is to help manufacturers around the world to embrace smart manufacturing. Our service and support network spans nearly 50 countries, with more than 70 distributors across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. In 2015, Buffalo has expanded operations with MICROCUT Europe, a service center and warehouse of machines and spare parts for the European market, to shorten the delivery time and achieve service excellence. In 2022, Buffalo established a North American technology application center in Windsor, Canada, to strengthen AXILE brand awareness, and to expand the high-end market share in North America.

CNC Lathe Integrated Center Processing Machine Numerical Control Horizontal Boring Machine 5-axis Vertical Machining Center Digitalized Technology & Digitalized Intelligent Automation

G6 MPC - Motorized Pallet Changer Automation Solution

Available with two or six pallets, AXILE’s automated G6 Motorized Pallet Changer (MPC) exchanges raw workpieces and finished parts via a loading bay at the back side of the machine. Operators can load raw workpieces, and inspect and unload finished parts, while machining continues in the vertical machining center 24/7, dramatically increasing operational efficiency. Freedom and flexibility are core to the design concept, as the MPC solution can be integrated upon initial commissioning of the G6 machine, or at a later stage when production capacity expands. And with the MPC-2 (the two-pallet solution), manufacturers can embrace a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), of 12, 24, or 36 pallets total, by integrating one to three machines and two loading stations, depending on the scale required. With AXILE’s digitalized intelligent automation solutions, manufacturers can eliminate production bottlenecks and ramp up production.

G6 Robotic Pallet Changer (RPC) Automation Solution

AXILE’s automated G6 Robotic Pallet Changer (RPC) solution features a 2-axis robot that keeps machines supplied with workpieces 24/7 from the back side of the machine. Part processing continues simultaneously within the machining center while operators deal with workpieces at the holding area at the back, significantly raising production efficiency to boost throughput.

G6 Gantry type 5-axis VMC

With a rotary table diameter of 600 mm, the G6 is a compact vertical machining center designed for agile, smart machining of smaller workpieces requiring complex geometries and intricate features. This highly versatile VMC delivers full 5-axis CNC machining, with the built-in spindle moving along the X,Y,Z-axis, and the table moving in rotary C-axis and swiveling A-axis.

G8 Gantry type 5-axis VMC

The AXILE G8’s powerful gantry design perfectly balances rigidity and precision, ideal for the machining of complex workpieces. With a maximum loading capacity up to 1,300 kg on a swiveling, rotary table, complemented by high-performance built-in spindles, the G8's agility enables production of a wide range of large parts and tools.

DC12 Double-column type 5-axis VMC

The DC12 is the most robust VMC in AXILE’s arsenal, perfectly suited for handling larger, lengthy workpieces. With a maximum table loading weight of 2.5 tonnes and maximum diameter of 2,200 mm X 1,200 mm, the DC12 takes on the larger, heavier parts common in the aerospace, power generation, and die and mold industries. Its double-column bridge construction allows for greater rigidity, as well as greater control over thermal deformation. As a result, the D12 is capable of deep cuts and complex contouring while maintaining utmost precision.
