ABOUT PORTACENTER
In 1958, Oscar Porta, an established mechanical designer in Brescia, Italy, founded Porta Transfer, a company that could anticipate the manufacturing needs of the market. The company’s focus has always been the customer’s needs, productivity, and return on investment.
In 2005, after many years in the manufacturing field, his sons Giorgio and Maurizio decided to branch out into the construction of CNC Machining Centers.
The company’s flagship product, based on the Porta Production Method, is the PORTACENTER, which is is the first Machining Center with 3 independent spindles.
In the last 18 years, 5 generations of the PORTACENTER have been released to the market with great success. From the automotive industry to Oil & Gas, our customers have relied on PORTACENTER to maximize their productivity and reduce their overall cost of operation.

With our transfer machine, we had significant downtime and we had longer changeover times, around 1.5-2 hours. Moreover, the production team was unable to machine a feature on our new shower valve with the transfer machine, which is hard tooled and not flexible. Lastly, we were having capacity issues running our current diverter valve, requiring multiple machine operations.
Thanks to the PORTACENTER we can make everything in one process, whereas the other two machines manufactured in two different operations. With the added tools of 24 per carousel on each spindle (72 total), we are able to machine in an extra feature, which required 4 additional tools in total. The diverter valve can run on both PORTACENTERs, which will free up capacity in three other machines in our CNC shop.
The positive results are the significant changeover improvement at 15 minutes (in some cases, changeover is zero minutes within the same valve family), easier operation and setup of the machine, without needing a very skilled machinist, and last but not least, the smaller footprint.
