What is automatic feeding of lathe？

The SZGH-36J lathe can be used with an automatic bar feeder for efficient machining.

I. Working Principle of the SZGH-36J Automatic Bar Feeder

1. Material is placed into the bar feeder (usually long bars or tubes, loaded into a hopper or trough).

2. The lathe receives a signal, telling the bar feeder when to feed material.

3. The bar feeder automatically pushes the material into the lathe spindle and delivers it at the set length.

4. The lathe clamps the material (with a hydraulic chuck or spring collet) and begins machining.

5. After a period of machining, the bar feeder feeds the next section again, and the lathe continues machining until the entire bar is exhausted.

II. Advantages of the SZGH-36J Lathe Automatic Bar Feeder

1. Continuous machining: One person can oversee multiple machines, improving efficiency.

2. Labor savings: Reduces frequent manual loading.

3. High machining consistency: Accurate material feed lengths are achieved each time, ensuring consistent parts. 4. High safety: Prevents manual contact with the material during rotation.

5. Suitable for mass production: Especially for machining standard parts, shafts, and screws.
