turbo RS 3-38
The bar feeder for bar diameters of 3 - 38 mm.
The turbo RS 3-38 guides material bars seemlessly right up to the lathe‘s spindle with a movable guide module. The bar feeder 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 headstock lathes with up to 38 mm nominal throughput gap, which process small and medium-sized diameter ranges.

Features
- movable guidemodule guides material bars seemlessly right up to the lathe‘s spindle
- 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...
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.

Spindle liners
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 ...
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.

Steady
The steady rest is connected to the lathe‘s spindle and supports the guidance of the material bar as much as possibel.

oil-flooded guide channel
The continuously oil-flooded guide channel guarantees the highest level of guide properties seamlessly right up to the spindle.
