Re-Engineered Bar Feeder Automates Part Production



The all-new Haas Bar Feeder features a re-engineered, heavy-duty - yet still compact - design that boosts productivity and streamlines turning operations, according to the company. Designed and built by Haas Automation exclusively for use on Haas ST-10 through ST-35 and DS series CNC turning centers, the Haas Bar Feeder connects directly to the Haas control and is powered by the turning center.

Designed for fast set-up and quick changeovers, the new Haas Bar Feeder features a rollaway design that provides easy access to the rear of the lathe spindle for quick liner adapter and liner changes. Press the foot pedal release and the bar feeder rolls out of the way for access. When pulled back into position, the bar feeder locks into place completely, eliminating accidental bumps or alignment issues. A single handwheel is used to make visual on-center bar height adjustments. Quick-change pushrods snap into place without tools, and both sizes store conveniently in the cover of the bar feeder. Built-in racks on both ends of the bar feeder provide storage for and easy access to all Haas extruded spindle liners, so there is no need to walk around the machine as with the previous version.

"To reduce cycle times, the Haas Bar Feeder uses a new belt-driven bar-shuttle system that is seven times faster than the previous version and features fast retract speeds," said a company spokesperson. "Optical sensors determine bar position, even on bars with chamfers and ragged ends, and stainless steel runners on the charging tray help bars roll down to the loading area much easier. Even square and hexagonal stock glide down smoothly to the new bar feeder tray."

Because it is integrated with the Haas control, all bar feeder parameters are set directly at the lathe. Easy-to-read on-screen icons indicate if the bar feeder is out of position, has the lid open or needs to be latched back into place.
