Information

Star FMB Turbo RS 2-20 Barfeed

The FMB Turbo RS 2-20 is a high-performance automatic bar feeder designed to enhance the efficiency and automation capabilities of sliding head and fixed head CNC lathes.

With a bar capacity range of 2mm to 23mm, it streamlines production by automatically loading and feeding bars, reducing manual intervention and enhancing productivity. It can be supplied to support bar lengths: 2.2m, 3.2m and 4.2m.

Featuring the innovative RS technology, the latest-generation FMB Turbo RS 2-20 bar feeder is connected to the lathe spindle by a movable guide module, eliminating the unsupported telescopic area between the barfeed and lathe. This is ideal for sliding head lathes that can be switched between guide bush and non-guide bush modes due to the optimal support offered by the guide module.

Benefits

  • Improved support for both long and short bar stock lengths, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of bar vibrations or deflections during the machining processes.
  • Increased efficiency when converting from guide bush to non-guide bush mode as no switching device is necessary, saving setup time and improving productivity.
  • Features a rigid extruded aluminium base providing best-in-class vibration damping characteristics, leading to improved machining quality and reduced tool wear.
  • Enhanced reliability and easier maintenance through a simplified design with fewer components compared to traditional bar feeders.
  • The intuitive touch control with a generous 8.4" screen offers a user-friendly interface for efficient barfeed control.

FMB BAR FEED CHANNEL
FMB Bar Feed Channel diagram

The channel is filled with oil from the storage tank. As the bar rotates, it generates turbulence that keeps it centered within the channel. The higher the rotation speed, the greater the centralising effect. As a result, the magazine supports the lathe in achieving optimal cutting conditions.
