Tornos unveils Robobar SBF 213 barfeed

For bar diameters from 2 to 13 mm, Tornos is replacing its existing Robobar SBF 216 with the Robobar SBF 213. From a capacity standpoint, the side-loading Robobar SBF 213 is available in numerous models that include 2, 3 and 4 m, with maximum bar weight of 300, 355 or 377kg respectively. Up to 20 bars can be stored on each model.

The Robobar SBF 213 has a ground girder frame construction that is said to minimise vibration and enhance the smooth transition of raw material from the bar feed to the machine tool. Furthermore, the channels of the bar feed accommodate two different diameters simultaneously – bar movement is aligned with the spindle through a mechanical synchronising device.

No tools are required to change the bar channels, while the jaws that extract bar remnants are auto-centring from 2 to 12 mm and require no adjustment.
