2.1 BAR FEEDER GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bar feeder in question has been planned and manufactured in order to automatically feed
the bars to be turned on the lathe.
It has been manufactured in two versions:
- VIP 80 E (standard version - the lathe on the right of the bar feeder)
- VIP 80r E (reversed version - the lathe on the left of the bar feeder)
The figure represents the two versions.
IMPORTANT:
this manual information (texts, tables, and figures) is referred to the standard
version (VIP 80 E), if not otherwise specified.
It can feed bars with different (round, square, hex) sections and of maximum length equal to
that of the spindle liner.
The operating cycle is directed by a PLC, integrated in the electrical control panel, which
interacts with the lathe controls.
It is equipped with a hand-held control that enables the operator to interact with all the
controls without forcing him to leave his work station.
The phase of preparation and tooling of the working change (diameters or different sections) is
extremely easy and quick.
Remnant ejection can take place with the feed either of the bar pusher or of the following bar.
