Latest IEMCA Barfeeders Available from Kitagawa Europe

Three updated IEMCA short bar feeders from leading workholding and manufacturing equipment specialist, Kitagawa Europe Ltd provide users with a wide range of reliability and productivity benefits.

The Boss 21 compact feeder handles bar diameters of 5-51mm with a maximum length of 2080mm, making it ideal for use in restricted spaces or applications where lathe spindle length is limited. This capacity also eliminates the need to section long bars into several pieces and minimises the amount of unusable remnants left over, reducing waste.

With a minimum magazine capacity of 400mm, the barfeeder can be used with both fixed and sliding headstock lathes, irrespective of the length of the spindle.

The IEMCA Master 21, the only 2 metre bar feeder in its class with the ability to retract remnants, can feed at 150 mm/second without the need to adapt bar length to the length of the lathe spindle – again, greatly reducing the number of wasted remnants.
