The FMB SL 80s is an automatic Bar Loading Magazine Feeder for processing bars in the
diameter range of 10 - 80 mm and in lengths up to 1250 mm (4’) on CNC lathes. Designed
with a small footprint, the SL 80s still offers many of the features associated with a 12’ magazine
feeder. Optimally utilized when running small and medium batch production runs or work pieces
with short bar lengths, features designed into the SL 80s allow for quick changeovers and ease
in set-ups. With the added advantages of Fixed Piece Feedout, Sub-Spindle Mode, Return & Wait
function and Shaft Loading, the SL 80s will meet or surpass all of your short bar loader requirements.

Free Of Noise And Vibration

While processing the bar there is no contact between the bar stock and the loading magazine, so
whether the bar is round, square or hexagonal, high speed machining is possible with the use of a
properly sized lathe spindle liner.

Minimum Maintenance
Smart design requires very little preventative maintenance.

Minimum Space Requirement
The compact design of the SL 80s bar feeder results in the minimum amount of floor space being used.

Side Loading
The storage capacity is 530 mm (20.8”) deep. The inclination of the storage table can be adjusted.
The SL 80s can be ordered with the storage table mounted on the front or the rear of the bar feeder.

Bar Diameter Adjustment
By means of a handwheel, with an easy and quick central adjustment, the change-over
time of different bar diameters is kept to a minimum.

Axial Shift Device
The SL 80s is equipped with a axial shift device which allows for easy movement so the spindle
liners of the main spindle can be changed efficiently. The moving device can be configured for
Z or X axis movement of the SL 80s. (to be determined at installation)
