Turbulence

When the oil-flushed guide channel of a loading magazine is used for handling material bars with diameters that are much smaller than that of the guide channel itself, oil turbulence occurs at high rotation speeds. The material bars are guided through the centre of this turbulence, which prevents direct contact between the material bar and the guide channel. The guide channel with hydrodynamic bearing effect is a central component for bar guidance in a bar loading magazine, and can be adapted to the optimum size of the material bar with an appropriate capacity adjustment set. FMB Maschinenbau is a leading manufacturer in this area. The company enjoys an outstanding reputation for its reliable automation technology in the machining sector. Its innovative loading magazines can be used with all kinds of CNC lathe. The material flow systems from FMB work with single-spindle lathes (long-turning and short-turning) and multi-spindle lathes. Each loading system can be upgraded and equipped to suit individual customers’ requirements. There are no limits to the possibilities, which include a shifting device, bar lift or bundle loader.
