Lexair's new Multi Mini Rhinobar bar feeder is designed to make multi-diameter bar stock processing faster and easier. The Multi Mini utilizes a feedtube cartridge that automatically centers and feeds three sizes of small-diameter bar stock to Swiss-style CNC screw machines and sliding-head lathes. Cartridges are available in three size ranges: 0.25"/0.375"/0.5", 0.25"/0.5"/0.75" and 0.375"/0.5"/0.635". Each three-tube cartridge is enclosed in a standard aluminum barrel. "The Multi Mini helps achieve maximum throughput for high-production runs of automotive components, medical devices, motor shafts and other small-diameter parts," said a company spokesperson. Two models are available for processing either 6- or 12-foot bar stock.
"The bar feeder's ergonomic design features an upgraded safety interlock system, and it includes a front swing-out mechanism for easy reloading and sub 3-minute feed tube changes," said the spokesperson. Lexair's single-valve design controls oil flow and pressure for increased bar control, accuracy and vibration-free operation. A completely enclosed fluid recuperator keeps oil off the floor and contaminants out of the hydraulic system.
The outer barrel is a precision-extruded aluminum tube, held in place with a single clamp to further minimize barrel vibration and control Z-axis motion. A removable pendant allows the operator to control the bar feeder remotely, while a positive pusher retention system ensures high efficiency operation with minimal labor.
"With an overall length of 11 feet (3.35 m) for the 6-foot bar model and 17 feet (5.18 m) for the 12-foot bar model, the Multi Mini Rhinobar's compact size makes it suitable for small or large shops," said the spokesperson.
