Automatic Bar Feeder Provides Visual Status of Bars at a Glance
March 1, 2016
The Tracer Vs-105XL available from CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies is a bar feeder designed for heavy bars. It can handle up to 4-1/8" diameter bars up to 72" long. The bar feeder's magazine rack has a maximum capacity of five bars at 4-1/8" (105 mm) diameter. The patented external LED light bar provides a visual status of pusher position, amount of bar remaining, notification of last bar and flashing notification of machine or bar feeder alarms. This feature is standard on all CNC Indexing short loaders and magazine bar feeders.
The HMI display system is touchscreen and contains automatic system settings and a moveable hand-held remote controller for convenience during operation. The quick-change pusher can be easily changed manually without any tools. A top-cut optical sensor measures each bar's length and automatically adjusts. The standard rail retract system allows the bar feeder to move back and away from the CNC lathe at a 45° angle for spindle liner changes and access to the machine's headstock area for ease of maintenance. "The Vs-105XL's PLC control is fully functional with comprehensive data bank software and can interface with any CNC lathe," said a company spokesperson.
