2.1 BAR FEEDER GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bar feeder in question has been designed and manufactured in order to automatically feed
the bars to be machined on the lathe.
It can feed bars with different (round, square, hexagonal) sections and of maximum length
equal to that of the spindle liner.
The operating cycle is directed by a PLC, integrated in the electrical control panel, which
interacts with the lathe controls.
The bar feeder is provided with a remote push-button panel allowing the operator to perform
operations in manual mode (tooling phase) without leaving the working area.
The phase of preparation and tooling of the working change (diameters or different sections) is
extremely easy and quick.
Remnant ejection can take place with the feeding either of the bar pusher or of the following
bar.

2.1.1 MAIN PARTS
A Magazine; contains the bars to be loaded.
B Bar selecting device; it takes the first bar out of the magazine and lays it on the "bar drop
control device".
C Bar limit stop device; it regulates correctly the position of the first bar inside the magazine,
before it is lifted by the bar selecting device.
D Bar drop control device; puts the bar onto the guide.
E Guide channel; this device drives the bar and introduces it correctly into the lathe.
F Carriage unit; this device introduces the bar into the lathe.
G Bar pushing unit; this device pushes the bar inside the lathe until it has been completely
machined.
H Flag device; this device is activated by the arrival of the bar fore end.
L Bar feeding motor; thanks to a toothed belt, motions are transmitted to the carriage and to
the bar pusher.
M Cam drive unit; it starts the cams of the bar selecting and bar drop control devices as well
as the bar limit stop cams.
N Side keyboard; thanks to this keyboard it is possible to set up programming and to start bar
feeder working phases.
P Electric cabinet; houses the electrical control panel.
Q Remote control; this device allows the operator to control operations remotely in manual
mode.

2.2 OPERATING CYCLE
The possible working cycles are listed hereunder:
- REGULAR CYCLE; the bar is fed by the bar feeder until it reaches the lathe “bar stop”.
- FIXED-PIECE FEEDING; the bar feeding is exact and accurate (no lathe bar stop is needed).
In the following sections you will find a concise description of the phases in this working cycle.
INFORMATION:
for further detailed information about working cycle selection and setting,
please see the keyboard instruction manual, in particular parameter 29.
2.2.1 REGULAR CYCLE
- At the stop of the lathe working cycle, the bar
pusher (A) moves to the back limit stop position.
- The bar pusher (A) and the "bar drop control"
unit (B) are lifted. At the same time, also the “bar
selecting” unit (C) that loads the first bar on the
"bar drop control" unit is lifted.

2 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION KID 80 IV
EN
2 - Pag. 5 / 18
- The "bar drop control" unit (B) returns to its
initial position enabling bar insertion into the
guide (D). At the same time, the “bar selector”
unit (C) returns to its initial position.
Subsequently, the guide lifts and sets the bar in
line with the loading axis.
- The bar is inserted into the carriage lathe (E) that
then goes back to its initial position.
- The guide (D) returns to its low position. The bar
pusher (A) lines up with the loading axis of the
lathe spindle.

EN
2 - TECHNICAL INFORMATION KID 80 IV
2 - Pag. 6 / 18
- The bar pusher (A) inserts the bar into the
spindle liner. The bar ejects the remnant (F) as a
residual of the previous machining, and is
positioned for the facing.
The lathe working cycle starts with the beginning of
the bar facing phase.
At this point the bar is fed till it reaches the lathe
“bar limit stop”, then machining phase takes place
until one piece has been fully machined.
The latter phase is repeated several times till the bar has been completely machined.
NOTE: in order to save time, it is possible to start the bar change phase when the lathe is
machining the last piece.
