Precision bar feeders

Automotive Design & Production, Dec, 2007

Edge Technologies' (www.hydromat.com) Patriot Series 12-foot magazine bar feeders automatically feed round, square, and up to 12.5-ft. hexagonal bar stock into CNC lathes. The Patriot 338 feeds stock in a diameter range of 3 mm to 38 mm, while the patriot 551 offers a range of 5 mm to 51 mm. A touch-screen with menu-driven parameters makes programming easier, with memory storage for up to 36 speed changeovers. The cutting guide features polyurethane channels that are flooded with oil to create a hydrodynamic effect, providing higher RPM with lower noise and vibration.
