Turbo 2-20 Bar Feeder

Make: FMB | Bar Length: 6', 12' | Bar Diameter: 0.078” – 0.787”

The FMB Turbo 2-20, available in either 6′ or 12′ configuration, is an automatic bar feeder for processing bars in the diameter range of 2-20 mm in lengths from 6’ to 14’ on CNC lathes.

Equipped with a Swiss type headstock synchronization device, peck drilling and threading on small diameter bars is simple and done with high-tolerances.

The Turbo 2-20 is designed to automatically feed round, square or hexagonal bars into CNC lathes.

Features: Turbo 2-20

  • Bar diameter capacity: 2 mm to 20 mm (.078” to .787”)
  • Automatic loading magazine — 7 linear inches of rack capacity
  • Double pusher, space saving design
  • Quick-change polyurethane guide channel system – noise & vibration dampening
  • Hydrodynamic support via high volume oil flow into channels
  • Omron motion control — dependable and user friendly, allows easy bar feeder parameter changes
  • Bearing block steady rest. Super rigid design is mounted to base of the machine to provide maximum support of bar stock and pusher
  • Separate floor mounted electric cabinet isolates electronics from vibration
  • (1) Guide channel set to be chosen by customer. Several sizes to choose from, each handling a specific stock range. See chart on next page. (spindle liner required if channel set is not lathe’s max capacity)
  • (1) Universal telescoping front nose and (1) nose I.D. liner specific to pusher
  • (1) O.D. bar stock collet (to be chosen by customer, specific collet needed for each stock diameter)
  • Swiss headstock synchronization device
  • Automatic remnant retraction, self centering gripper
  • Custom lathe cable and interface plugs
  • Polyurethane bushing blocks (2 pieces)
