The Quick Load Servo 80 S2 automatic magazine loader for short bars (14” – 63”, not to exceed the spindle length) accommodates barstock diameters from ¼” to 3 1/8” (6 mm – 80 mm). The bar feeders are designed to increase productivity through reliable loading and by enabling optimum machine spindle speeds.
The loader includes three pushers to cover a barstock diameter range for fixed or traveling headstock turning machines with bar capacities of 1 5/8”, 2”, 2 1/2”, 2 5/8” and 3”. Other features include a loading mechanism, automatic bar diameter adjustment for bar selection fingers and centerline alignment, and a menu driven, prompting remote control that is designed for ease of use.
Additional benefits include 15-second partial change-overs within the pusher range either by direct data entry or via part number recall from the library of as many as 500 part programs; automatic torque and speed adjustment; X- or Z-axis retraction system; and on-board storage of spindle liners and pushers.
