Material storage

The material storage facility on a loading magazine (bar loading magazine) is where the material bars are kept. Depending on the model, this can be used in conjunction with a bundle loader or bar lift. Where very thin bars are to be used, the material storage facility is replaced by a pilgrim step separation device. FMB Maschinenbau designs and manufactures the optimum loading and unload systems for all kinds of machine tool. In the field of automation, the company produces reliable handling and material flow systems for machining operations. The core business of FMB is material feed for CNC lathes, with a range that includes products for single-spindle and multi-spindle lathes. The loading magazines for single-spindle lathes are suited equally to use with short-turning and long-turning lathes. Profiled bars and round materials are conveyed through an oil-flushed guide channel which provides a low-vibration bearing during rotation.
