Hydrodynamic bearing effect

As the material bars turn in the oil-flushed guide channel in the loading magazine, a lubricating wedge is formed between the surface of the material bar (round material) and that of the guide channel, preventing direct contact. This is known as the hydrodynamic bearing effect/ FMB FMB Maschinenbau, Faulbach, is a leading partner in the machining sector, producing robust bar loading magazines for all kinds of CNC lathe. Material flow systems or handling systems from FMB are a byword for quality and reliability in tool manufacture. In the field of automation technology, FMB also produces industrial robots with gripper systems, used for instance as unload systems. FMB also offers an optional safety fence system for the robot cells . FMB machines are used with short-turning, long-turning and multi-spindle lathes.
