Selection of CNC Lathe Feeders

A CNC lathe feeder is an automated device used in machining processes, primarily to automatically feed materials into a CNC lathe for processing. Feeders offer advantages such as efficiency, stability, and cost savings in CNC lathe machining.

1. Types of Feeders

Depending on different applications and requirements, CNC lathe bar feeders typically include the following types:

  • Oil Bar Feeder: Suitable for automatic feeding of single bars, commonly used in small to medium-sized production.

 
Oil Bath Bar Feeder
 
  • Servo Bar Feeder: Capable of storing and feeding multiple bars simultaneously, increasing production efficiency, suitable for large-scale production.

 
Servo Bar Feeder
 
  • Vibrating Bowl Feeder: Utilizes the vibration of the bowl to automatically arrange and feed small parts or materials into the lathe, suitable for automatic processing of small parts.

2. Advantages of Different Feeders

  • Oil Bar Feeder: Lower cost, suitable for small batch processing of long bars.

  • Servo Bar Feeder: Higher continuity, capable of processing larger diameters, higher automation level, suitable for large batch processing of long bars.

  • Vibrating Bowl Feeder: Compact structure saves space, higher precision, suitable for large batch processing of small materials.

Whether it's single bar material feeding, multiple bar or the space-saving feeding of single workpieces. SMARTLATHE can offers the Following Feeders Based on Different CNC Lathe Requirements.
