The FMB Turbo 2-18 is an automatic Bar Loading Magazine Feeders 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. The Turbo 2-18 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 witha 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 sideof the guide channel.

  • Bars within a larger diameter range can be accomodated 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  • The bar remnant is withdrawn to the back end of the magazine.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.

  • The Turbo 2-18 utilizes a dual bar pusher design to shorten the overall length of the bar feeder by 28”, compared to the overall length of the Minimag 18.
