The FMB Minimag 18 is an automatic Bar Loading Magazine Feeder for processing bars in the diameter range of 2-18 mm in lengths from 10’ to 14’ on CNC lathes. Equipped with a Swiss type headstock synchronization device, peck drilling and threading on small diameter bars is simple and done with high-tolerances. To increase the productivity on your Swiss type lathe, the Minimag 18 is a smart choice

•The FMB Minimag 18 is designed to automatically feed round, square or hexagonal bars into  CNC lathes.

•Oil filled polyurethane guide channels provide the ideal guiding system while reducing noise  and vibration to a minimum.

•The guide channel size can be changed to allow the processing of the smallest bar diameters  and it is securely closed with a very efficient, air operated, toggle lever system. Channel  changeovers can be performed in as little as 10 minutes.

•The space needed to load the magazine is minimized since the bars are placed on the storage  table (7 inches wide) at the side of the guide channel.

•Bars within a larger diameter range can be accommodated within one guide channel size.

•The bar remnant is withdrawn to the back end of
 the magazine. A gripper extracts it from the bar
 stock collet. No manual adjustments are necessary.
