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)
