Automatic bar feeder with external LED light bar


Mason, Ohio – The Tracer Vs-105XL available from CNC Indexing & Feeding Technologies is a bar feeder designed for heavy bars up to 4-1/8" diameter and up to 72" long. The bar feeder’s magazine rack has a maximum capacity of 5 bars at 4-1/8" (105mm) diameter. The external LED light bar provides a visual status of pusher position, amount of bar remaining, notification of last bar, and flashing notification of machine or bar feeder alarms. 
 
The operator-friendly HMI display system is touch screen and contains automatic system settings and a moveable hand-held remote controller for convenience during operation. The quick-change pusher is easily changed manually without any tools. A top-cut optical sensor precisely measures each bar’s length and automatically adjusts. The standard rail retract system allows the bar feeder to move back and away from the CNC lathe at a 45° angle for convenient spindle liner changes and access to the machine’s headstock area for ease of maintenance. The Vs-105XL’s PLC control is fully functional with comprehensive data bank software and interfaces with any CNC lathe.
