摘要:
An automatic pneumatic bar feeding apparatus for automatically feeding a plurality of bar stocks to a work station, such as a computer numerical control (CNC) machine for processing, thereby eliminating the need to reload the bar feeding apparatus with another bar stock one at a time. The bar feeding apparatus comprises a rotary which turns a loading unit 45° to a loading position for loading a bar stock onto the loading assembly from a holding tray. After the bar stock has been loaded onto the loading assembly, the rotary turns the loading assembly back to its initial position or feeding position. A pneumatic motor supplies air to a rear feeding assembly, wherein the feeding assembly pushes the bar stock to the work station for processing. When the feeding assembly has fed the majority of the bar stock into the CNC machine, the rotary turns the loading assembly back to the loading position. A hollow tube will then be aligned with the center of the CNC machine, where a rod slidably located within the hollow tube further pushes the excess bar stock into the CNC machine through the hollow tube until a sensor indicates that all of the bar stock has been processed by the CNC machine. When the feeding is completed, the feeding assembly returns to its initial position. During this feeding process, another bar stock is being loaded onto the loading assembly and when the previous bar stock has been successfully machined, the bar feeding apparatus will begin the process again with the new bar stock.

A bar feed apparatus for supplying elongated bar stock to the headstock of an automatic lathe. An elongated guide tube receives the stock and includes a hydraulic piston that controllably advances the stock toward the lathe. For cushioning the rotating bar stock against vibration within the tube, controlled quantities of hydraulic fluid is forced longitudinally into an annular clearance about the piston to and about the bar stock. A flexible seal secured downstream of the piston effects collapse during the forward stoke of the piston and effects a vacuum seal during a vacuum induced return stoke of the piston.

A bar stock feed apparatus for a machine tool has a bar stock support tube for alignment, in use with a workpiece carrier of the machine tool. A fluid pressure-actuated feed means in the form of a pusher tube slides within the tube and is driven by a piston to feed the bar when desired. Fluid is introduced into the support tube forwardly of the piston, and independently of the fluid supplied to the piston, to cushion the bar stock within the tube 15 and thereby minimize undesirable noise during operation.

A new and improved bar feeder is herein disclosed. A bar feeder for use with an associated cutting lathe includes a guide rail, an air motor, at least four supports, each of the supports comprising a top, a base, a bushing, the bushing having a centerline opening, wherein the bushing can rotate freely in relation to the support, at least four drive gears, wherein each of the at least four supports is operatively connected to the drive gear, wherein the at least four supports are linked together, wherein the supports can be adjusted horizontally along the guide rail, a gear rack, the at least four drive gears operatively connected to the gear rack, and a pressurized cylinder for pushing an associated bar into the associated cutting lathe.
摘要:
A pneumatic bar feeding apparatus for advancing a length of bar stock to a CNC center machine for processing and including a pair of concentric tubular members which are housed in a housing supported by a pair of vertical spaced apart support stands. The inner tubular member is spaced from the interior surface of the outer tubular member by at least three bearing and bushing devices which are located at three separate locations. A rear end of the inner tubular member is airtightly sealed so that air pressure does not leak out. An actuating assembly is movably installed within the inner tubular member and includes a slidable piston, a rod connected to the piston and a coil spring which surrounds the rod and biasing the rod from entering into a bar carrier which is also movably installed within the inner tubular member. The bar carrier comprises a plurality of step-down interior portions for accommodating a plurality of different size diameters of the bar stock. The inner tubular member is adapted to receive the bar stock therein such that one end of the bar stock is fitted within one of the plurality of step-down interior portions. The pneumatic bar feeding apparatus does not generate noise and vibration because the bearing and bushing devices prevent the inner tubular member from striking the interior surface of the outer tubular member and also prevent it from vibrating within the outer tubular member.
摘要:
A parts loading apparatus comprising a turret structure having one or more passages therethrough for receiving and holding a row of parts to be fed therefrom one at a time, the plurality of such passages being arranged at angularly spaced locations around a central axis, each having an opening adjacent one end from which the parts held therein can pass, and a rotary actuator mechanism operatively connected to the turret structure to rotate the structure to locate different ones of the passages in alignment with a parts receiving fixture adjacent to one end of the passage and with a source of pressure adjacent to the opposite end of the passage. The subject parts loading apparatus may also be constructed to have a single elongated tubular member capable of holding a row of aligned parts therein with the piston positioned therein adjacent one end of the row of parts whereby applying pressure into the passage moves the piston and the row of parts therein and ejects the end most part therefrom.
摘要:
The device comprises a barrel which is indexed by a multi-spindle lathe at each machining operation. The barrel comprises guiding tubes for the bars to be machined which are in rotation in a fluid delivered between the guiding tube and the bar by pipes connected by tubular shafts to a fluid distributor having inlets connected to different sources of pressure. The feed of the bar is controlled exclusively by a feeding piston under the action of the pressure of the fluid delivered by extension tubes located at the rear of the guiding tubes and maintained in alignment with the latter by sliding rings which ensure the tightness between the tubes. At the time provisioning of a guiding tube with a new bar, the piston is retracted out of the guiding tube into the corresponding extension tube, the sliding ring is shifted on the extension tube and the latter pivots about the corresponding tubular shaft to open the inlet of the barless guiding tube to permit delivery from the side, of a new bar to be machined opposite this inlet. This arrangement leads to a compact construction and facilitates automatization of bar provisioning.

摘要:
A device for the feeding of material bars for processing machines, with which in a tube the rearward end of the bar is moved in the direction of the processing machine by a piston guided in the tube and loaded by a pressurizing medium. A loading bellows loaded by the pressurizing medium is located behind the piston and a tubular diaphragm, loaded by the pressurizing medium, is located in the tube, supported in a rotatable manner.
摘要:
A feeder arrangement for intermittently feeding forward a workpiece for machining in an automatic machine tool such as a lathe.The workpiece, such as bar stock, is disposed in a tubular member and is intermittently fed forward to a lockable clamping member when loosened. The feeder arrangement includes a feeder device which is operable by a pressure fluid medium to feed forward the workpiece while itself is prevented from movement relative to the tubular member by an arresting member and, once the workpiece has been clamped, the feeder device is advanced to juxtapose it with the end of the workpiece.
