2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BAR FEEDER
The MASTER 880 automatic bar feeder is used in the machine-tool industry and in particular,
for automatic lathe feeding.
The working cycle is controlled by a control panel with built-in PLC, which is able to dialogue
with the lathe control.
The digital hand-held keyboard makes programming easier and allows the bar-feeder functions
to be controlled without leaving the lathe.
The bar feeder can be used to feed bars, pipes and various sections.
The guide channel is fully closed during machining; a pump is provided to maintain a
continuous oil flow inside the channel, creating a hydrodynamic support effect; these
characteristics allow the bar to rotate at a high r.p.m. number, with no vibrations and no
surface damaging.
Thanks to the use of a “BRUSHLESS” and electronically controlled motor, the bar speed, thrust
value and feeding position may be determined at any time during the working cycle.
Bar remnant ejection can be caused by bar-pusher feeding or next bar feeding.
The lathe tooling and maintenance can be easily carried out due to the axial displacement of
the bar feeder body.
