Bar feeder product line

Edge Technology bar feeders include the Minuteman 320 SE, Patriot 338, Rebel 80 Servo, and FMB Turbo 3-38.

Minuteman 320 SE is designed for feeding round, square, and hexagonal bar stock into CNC lathes. The special edition (SE) offers a synchronization device for Swiss-style lathes that employs electro-magnetic coupling, mechanically linking the lathe headstock’s Z-axis travel to the bar feeder’s pusher to ensure no loss of connection between the bar stock and pusher collet.

Patriot 338 automatically feeds 3mm to 38mm diameter round, square, and hexagonal bar stock in lengths up to 12.5ft into CNC lathes. During cutting operations the bar stock rotates in polyurethane guide channels flooded with oil to create a hydrodynamic effect, resulting in higher rpm with reduced noise and vibration.

Rebel 80 servo bar loader feeds round, square, and hexagonal bar stock into CNC lathe spindles. A large magazine capacity allows for unattended operation. While processing the bar, there is no contact between the bar stock and the loading magazine, so high speed machining is possible with the use of properly sized lathe spindle liner.

FMB Turbo 3-38 automatic bar loading magazine feeder is compatible with all types of sliding or fixed, CNC or cam-operated lathes with spindle bores up to 38mm. Quick-change polyurethane guide channels allow for quiet operation at high rpm cutting due to the hydrodynamic principle. The guide channels can be changed in about 10 minutes to accommodate multiple bar stock diameters.
