turbo 8-80
Magazine for bar diameters of 8–80 mm.
The FMB turbo 8-80 is a magazine for bar diameters from 5–65 mm which, like the other model variants, works on the principle of two-stage feed that characterises the turbo series. The swivelling pusher means that a very compact, space-saving construction can be achieved. The solid machine bed of grey cast iron also ensures the necessary stability, especially for the precise machining of larger material bar Diameters.
Area of application:
Single-spindle lathes with up to 80 mm nominal throughput gap, intended for the permanent processing of medium-sized to large diameter ranges or the occasional processing of small bar diameters.

Features
- Short design based on a two-stage feed principle (swivelling pusher)
- Highest possible guide quality and vibration damping by the use of polyurethane inserts, combined with a solid machine bed of grey cast iron.
- Optional XT variant with precision linear drive enables bars to be fed without the need for a stop, with great accuracy and high feed speeds

Available installation situations

Ergonomic and simple operation...
Mobile control panel
Easy handling of the FMB loading magazine is supported by a detachable user-friendly control panel. It can be combined with a high-performance programmable logic control (PLC) system to enable FMB to produce very flexible customer-specific special functions and processes.

Efficient, practical handling...
Bar loading
The wide material storage facility offers space for 3 to 33 bars, depending on diameter, in order to allow the lathe to operate for a maximum length of machining time without interruption. The inclination angle of the material storage facility can be infinitely adjusted so that it always guarantees the best possible feed of all kinds of material and profile.

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 polyurethane guide channel inserts with sound damping properties are 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 solid, torsion-resistant machine bed of grey cast iron forms the solid basis for the loading magazine. This guarantees the highest possible guide quality and vibration damping.

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.
