Short Barfeeder

SPACESAVER 80

Compact short bar feeder suitable also for twin-spindle CNC lathes.

The highly versatile SS80 bar feeder represents an advanced automation solution suitable for all types of CNC lathes, including modern twin-spindle models. This model retains the advantages of purely electrical power, minimal space requirements, and automatic mechanical adjustment during job changeovers. It easily handles feeding against a turret stop as well as to a precise programmed position.
