turbo 3-26
The bar feeder for bar diameters of 3 - 26 mm.
The turbo 3-26 operates on the two-step feed principle, known from the turbo-series. By pivoting the pusher, this allows for a very compact and thus space-saving design.
Area of application:
Sliding or fixed headstock lathes with up to 26 mm nominal throughput gap, which process small and medium-sized diameter ranges.

Features
- Short design based on a two-stage feed principle (swivelling pusher)
- Fast, simple changing of the inserts for efficient adaptation of the guide channel to different material diameters
- Maximum vibration damping from the use of plastic inserts in conjunction with a torsion-resistant aluminium support system.

Available installation situations

Simple and convenient - the ERGOlogic control ...
Portable control panel
Modern touch control with generously sized 8.4“ screen makes an intuitive operating concept
possible for a faster learning phase. Integrated assistant function for guided set up for inexperienced users.

Efficient, practical handling ...
Installation position
The optional shifting device makes it possible to move the loading magazine up to 400 mm away from the lathe. This practical feature increases accessibility to the lathe for service technicians, e.g. when replacing spindle liners, or, when switching variable lathes from short-turning to long-turning mode, ensures the shortest distance between loading magazine and spindle stock at all times.

Efficient, practical handling...
Guide channel inserts
The guide channel inserts are quick easy to replace so that the channel diameter can be adapted to the optimum diameter range of the material bars to be processed.

Stable design...
Machine support
The torsion-resistant machine support of extruded aluminium forms the solid basis for the loading magazine. It also holds the diameter-related inserts for the guide channel.

Stable design...
Material bar grippers
The stable gripper design guarantees secure drawing in of the material bar and removal of the remnant piece.

Optimum material bar guidance...
Spindle liners
On request FMB can also supply spindle liners to match a substantial number of lathe types; these enable the spindle opening to be optimally adapted to match the guide channel diameter.

Optimum material bar guidance...
Steady
The steady at the end of the guide channel takes the form of a flexible roller steady for the processing of round material bars. When processing round, square and hexagonal section materials the guide rollers can be replaced by appropriate material guides (guide jaws). This enables the steady to be set to the dimensions of the material bar, thus guaranteeing optimum guidance even of small-diameter bars in a larger guide channel.

Optimum material bar guidance ...
Synchronizing device
When using a moving spindle stock (e.g. in sliding headstock mode), the synchronizing device uses a coupling system to couple the bar feed device of the loading magazine mechanically to the spindle stock, thus ensuring synchronisation with the movement of the pusher. As an option, the position during this movement can also be monitored by a sensor to prevent any possible collisions, e.g. when switching from fixed headstock to sliding headstock mode.

Optimum material bar guidance ...
Telescopic tube
Telescopic tubes are used to bridge the gap when fitting a bar loading magazine to a lathe with a sliding spindle stock. FMB offers an optional package to suit each type of lathe, to ensure secure protection of the rotating bar and the best possible guidance.

Optimum material bar guidance ...
Spindle stock steady
In addition to the use of a telescopic tube, FMB offers a moving steady for lathes with large travel distances along the Z axis and long spindles. This is linked to the spindle stock, thus offering an additional support point for the material bar in order to reduce the free length between the steady and the collet in the lathe. It reduces vibrations in the material bar and has a positive effect on the production quality of the parts.
