OverviewAutomate your turning operations with a bar feeder. For precise, quick part loading without the need for an operator, bar feeders are an effective way to upgrade the performance and productivity of most lathes. Simple to install, bar feeders provide cost-effective automation that handles repetitive, time-consuming tasks, making them valuable in many shop environments facing labor constraints and higher part demand.
Key features- Easy integration with most Okuma lathes
- Well suited to low-mix, high-volume production environments
- Entry-level automation to increase throughput and reduce operator intervention
