Bar loader designedspecifically for CNC latheautomation

The new Rebel Servo 102 is a compact, short bar loader that features an 8-120mm diameter capacity range for feeding round, square, and hexagonal bar stock into CNC lathe spindles. With a large magazine capacity the Rebel Servo is designed for long unattended operation. While processing the bar there is no contact between the bar stock and the loading magazine, so high speed machining is possible. The loading storage capacity is 1000 mm (40 in.) deep. The inclination of the storage table can be adjusted to give the loader a "soft-load" effect for large diameter bars. Bar stock with lengths of 250mm (10 in.) - 1520mm (60 in.) can be loaded and the maximum bar length is determined by the spindle length of the lathe and the chucking package. The bar stock is loaded into the main spindle of the lathe by a linear feed mechanism with a toothed belt and servomotor. Feed force is automatically set by the controller after the bar diameter is entered into the touch screen control. The multi-line display and operation station includes all needed information to allow rapid setting and productive operation of the loading process. While the operator enters the bar diameter and part length, the Rebel automatically adjusts the parameters for loading, feedout, and bar change. The multifaceted software features fixed piece feedout to the correct length. It also includes a shaft loading option as well as a sub-spindle "feed-on-the-fly" option with a "return and wait" pusher feature. The Rebel Servo 102 can store up to 20 standard setup parameters. Spindle liner changeover is accomplished quickly by the open architecture design of the top cover and special "swing out" style pusher carriage. Axial shift is not necessary to change spindle liners. An axial shift option can be added to allow for maintenance access to the back of the lathe spindle. The Axial Track can be configured for X or Z-axis movement.
