Bar Feeders Blog Archives

Bar feeders are the most common automation accessory in our world of high volume turning. They are optional pieces of support equipment that allow barstock to be automatically loaded into a CNC lathe. Bar feeders reliably deliver material to the machine tool for extended periods of time, and more advanced bar feeders can be left unattended so that a CNC turning center can operate lights-out for an entire shift or more.

The most basic purpose of a bar feeder is to keep an operator from having to constantly monitor and feed stock into a machine.  In addition, each process can be completed faster since loading is now automated.

It is important to find the right bar feeder for your project.  Check out our articles below for frequently asked questions about bar feeders and information about the different models we offer.
