Automatic Bar Feeder
High-precision automatic bar loading system for turn-mill and turning operations.
Overview
The Heinz Blum TAF-65 is a high-precision automatic bar feeder enabling continuous unattended operation for cylindrical titanium parts.
Key Specifications
- Bar Diameter Range: Ø3–65 mm
- Maximum Bar Length: 2,000 mm
- Feeding Accuracy: ±0.1 mm
Typical Applications
- Medical screw and implant production from Ti-6Al-4V and commercial pure titanium
- Aerospace fasteners and fittings manufacturing
- Automotive hydraulic component families
Engineering Notes
Automatic bar feeders reduce cycle time by 80% compared to manual loading and enable lights-out manufacturing for long production runs of cylindrical titanium parts. The precision positioning system ensures consistent part length tolerance across thousands of cycles.
