Bar Feeders

Boost lathe productivity with high speed bar feeders.

CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies introduces the Tech-998 and the Tech-998-XL, short bar feeders that boost lathe output and save floor space. These servo-driven bar feeders ensure smooth material feeding so that lathes can run at maximum spindle speeds and operating efficiency.

Make setups and changeovers fast and easy – A controller with LCD display prompts users for setup functions, displays bar position, and shows alarms. The controller automatically sets feed speed and force after the bar diameter is keyed in. In addition, a handheld remote offers maximum operator convenience. Automatic cycle reload time is a speedy 22 seconds.

Add the capacity to run jobs unattended – The Tech-998 holds bar diameter from 0.35" to 4" and bar lengths from 9.8" to 63". The bar feeder also has plenty of capacity, with the magazine holding up to 86 0.35" diameter bars.

Get the XL model for longer barstock – A longer Tech-998-XL model is also available. It accommodates bar lengths up to 71" and diameters up to 4".

Retrofit existing lathes without breaking the bank – With the Tech-998 short bar feeder, end users can easily retrofit their existing lathes to boost productivity and turn to lights-out automation. CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies also offers service installation, if needed, for an extra charge.
