The IDEAL 320 – 12-ft. bar feeder for Swiss or fixed headstock lathes features calibrated, hydrodynamic round-section guide channels and mechanical headstock synchronization.

The Elite 220 is a versatile bar feeder for Swiss lathes that features two barstock magazine types with basic bar feeder configuration: a standard linear/gravity magazine for barstock size 1/4" to 0.787" and a “walking beam” type for smaller barstock 0.080" to 1/4".

IEMCA offers several bar feeders including the Elite 112, the Smart 320 and the Prodigy. The Elite 112 can feed bars of 0.

IEMCA's Elite 112 bar feeder was designed for use in the medical and other small precision parts manufacturing industries. It offers a precise lift and transfer magazine system and can feed bars from 0.

Iemca, a division of Bucci Industries, designed the Genius 120 magazine bar feeder for single-spindle and multi-spindle lathes and can be used in high rpm applications. Plus, users can run very small-diameter bars without sacrificing precision, the company says. The bar feeder's hydrodynamic guide channel design allows the guide diameter to be changed by only changing the front guide sections.

This British shop is writing off simple, low-margin jobs, concentrating instead on tough-to-make parts in medium to high volumes for its new CNC multi-spindle machines.

You can't decide if you need an integrated loader or a stock reel loader. You've boiled it down to a space versus cost decision. Now what do you do? You basically have two choices: the stock reel loader or an integrated loader.

The new Genius Series combines mechanical reliability with the flexibility of a CNC control system. The CNC control provides all necessary parameters to configure bar feeding and bar changing operations. This CNC control is now a standard feature on this loader that can feed bars from 1 mm to 20 mm in diameter.

The new BOSS 547 automatic bar feeder has flexibility and reliability. It runs 2" diameter stock. Compatible with all CNC fixed headstock lathes and automatics, it has a bar capacity of 5 to 51 mm. Magazine capacity is 28 10 mm diameter bars.

For many shops, the decision comes down to a 4- or 12-foot-capacity magazine-style bar feeder. Here are some guidelines for choosing between them.
