| A solution for lathe automation with special focus on the price • Increasing production by reducing labour: this is the key to the success of BASIC, the new automatic bar loader by Pietro Cucchi for multi-spindle lathes, available for 5, 6 or 8 spindles. A solution for lathe automation with no changes to the original feeding mechanism. • By removing the stock reel, it can be connected to any multi-spindle lathe model. • The entire range of diameters can be machined thanks to a bar guide channel with a diameter that corresponds to the maximum capacity of the lathe. • It provides a compact assembly with very limited dimensions, especially the length. • The new fork centring devices reduce the swinging movements of the bars in the guide channels. In this way the entire range of diameters – from the minimum to the maximum – can be machined in a single channel. • Hexagonal bars can be machined by means of an additional device available separately upon request. •Practical, simple and reliable: the bar is loaded into the guides by a series of pneumatic devices. Then, the electrically operated bar pusher pushes the bar through the feed finger until inside the collet of the lathe. During the machining stage, the bar is fed by the lathe feeding system (feed fingers). • The electric motor power is sized to guarantee insertion of the bar into all feed fingers available on the market. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) ensures the system reliability and flexibility and provides for automation of all functions. • The palmtop-type portable control panel features complete diagnostics functions and allows you to set the speed control, the power of the bar pusher and all operating parameters. • Models available for bars in 3.3 m and 4.0 m lengths. |
