Pusher

The pusher is an element that takes up the materials bars and moves them forward to the guide channel of the loading magazine. This guide channel is flushed with oil to ensure the low-vibration, secure guidance of the material bars. Turbulence and a hydrodynamic bearing effect ensure smooth conveyance. Bar loading magazines are material flow systems used in machining. They are built onto a CNC lathe for feeding material bar to the main spindle within the lathe, in a fully automated process. FMB specialises in automation technology within the manufacture of bar loading magazines for single-spindle lathes (sliding and fixed headstock) and multi-spindle lathes. The company’s robust loading systems are in demand worldwide. FMB Maschinenbau has also established an excellent reputation for unload systems in the form of industrial robots with gripper system. Individual systems of this kind, which can be supplied if required complete with robot cell and safety fence system, are marketed by FMB under the brand name UNIROBOT.
