There are design elements incorporated into today’s 12-foot, magazine-load bar feeders that make them more useful for high-speed and untended operation. This article looks at some aspects to consider before purchasing a 12-foot bar feeder.

This company's aqueous parts washer's limitations and design were causing problems, which led the shop to purchase a parts cleaning technology that eliminated many of the parts cleaning processes it was doing at the time.

The Rebel 102 features an 8-mm to120-mm diameter capacity range for feeding round, square and hexagonal barstock into CNC lathe spindles. With a large magazine capacity allowing for untended operation, the bar loader combines the advantages of auto bar loading with a small footprint, says the company. There is no contact between the barstock and the loading magazine when processing the bar, so high-peed machining is possible with the use of a properly sized lathe spindle liner.

Designed for feeding round, square and hexagonal bar material into CNC lathes, the FMB Turbo 3-26 and Turbo 3-36 from Edge Technologies feature quick-change polyurethane guide channels that allow for quiet operation at high rpm while feeding stock. These feeders are compatible with all types of sliding or fixed, CNC or cam-operated lathes with spindle bores as large as 36 mm. Edge Technologies says the main beam and support stands are resistant to bending, which keeps vibration from bent bars to a minimum, thus ensuring smooth operation.

Edge Technologies' bar feeders have the capacity to feed round, hex or square barstock from 2 mm to 100 mm in diameter and in lengths up to 3,200 mm to 4,200 mm for single-spindle or Swiss and fixed headstock lathes as well as multi-spindles. The redesigned Turbo 3-36 bar feeder is a space-saving double-pusher design featuring a GE Fanuc SPS controls and Swiss-type  synchronization device. Hydrodynamic quick-change guide channels and a Roller Steady Rest device allow for quiet operation at high rpm while deeding round, square or hex barstock.
