2. DATA OF TECHNIQUE
2.1 Instruction
The hydrodynamic automatic bar feeder is designed for full automatic lathe to auto
feed material, the bar feeder is suitable for digital control sliding headstock lathe
and fixed headstock lathe.
The program of the PLC system can control the bar feeder running with the lathe.
The remote control box is easily to be operated.
The bar feeder can feed circular material, cannular material and any other forms of
material. While the lathe is running, the guide channel is closed completely, at the
same time; lubricating oil into the guide channel so that the noise and vibration can
be reduced while the material is rotating in high speed.
Furthermore, lubricating oil also can reduce the temperature resulted from friction
so that the surface of the material can't be damaged.
The remnant material will be pushed out of the guide channel by the push bar or
the next material.
The descriptions and legends of the manual are according to the operator stands at
the left side of the lathe to be edited.
