Multi-Channel Automatic Bar Loading Magazine
November 1, 2014
Breuning IRCO's ecoPROFI offers automatic, multi-size barfeeding in a small footprint package suited for job shops and others looking to increase productivity.
Capable of handling barstocks from 0.2" to 2" (5 mm to 50 mm), the multi-channel, "Gatlin-Gun" style magazine allows one-button channel changes for small-batch flexibility. A three-channel magazine is standard, and is expandable to a six-channel magazine. The ecoPROFI is available in standard lengths of 10', 13' and 20' (3,000, 4,000 and 6,000 mm), with custom models available for bars up to 33' (10,000 mm) long and 5.1" (130 mm) diameter barstock.
Hydrodynamic bar guiding circulates oil through the guide channel continuously to produce a damping effect and stabilize the bar in the channel for enhanced concentricity and reduced load on the machine spindle. Hydrodynamic damping bridges diameter increments and helps ensure low-friction, nearly vibration-free guiding of the bars.
Lexair provides sales, support and repair services for IRCO's German-made automated systems that serve high-volume, cylindrical and shaped-part makers in the heavy equipment, automotive and aerospace industries, among others. The ecoPROFI is compatible with all standard and Swiss-style lathes, as well as machining centers and rotary transfer machines. A specially designed loading flap allows for reloading of bars without machine stop.
