Turbo RS 2-20 Bar Feeder

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: 2mm to 23mm (0.078” to 0.905”)
  • Automatic loading magazine – 7 linear inches of rack capacity
  • Polyurethane guide channel system – noise & vibration dampening
  • Hydrodynamic support via high-volume oil flow into channels
  • Double pusher, space-saving design
  • Bearing block steady rest – super rigid design 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 table above (spindle liner required if channel set is not lathe’s max capacity)
  • (1) Universal telescoping front nose and (1) nylon 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)
  • Spindle tube nose assembly – available in 7mm, 10mm
