Hydrafeed Collector
CNC Lathes Parts Auto Collected
The Hydrafeed patented part accumulator system gathers parts automatically allowing the turning centre to run unmanned for extended periods whilst eliminating part damage. Hydrafeed will show its Rota-Rack rotary part accumulator, the Hydrafeed V65 short bar feeder and the new Autofeed full length barfeed system at the UK's MACH 2008 exhibition.
These feeders will appear alongside established products such as the MultiServo 3-80 intelligent bar support unit, the MultiFeed MX1B system and the X-Tract CNC automatic part unloader.The Part accumoulator is for CNC turning centres - the Rota-Rack is a part accumulator for collecting components from CNC lathes .The patented system gathers parts automatically allowing the turning centre to run unmanned for extended periods whilst eliminating part damage. Ideal for limited space environments the accumulator comfortably accommodates parts up to 254mm long with diameters up to 76mm. The compact system has an adjustable height and can be set at the left or right side of the machine to suit the specific needs of the end user. Contact Hydrafeed for further information.
