IEMCA BARFEEDER ELITE 112 Information

Filed under IEMCA

Performance, flexibility and reliability are the key features of IEMCA’s latest Elite 112 barfeeder, which is now available from leading workholding and manufacturing equipment specialist, Kitagawa Europe Ltd.

Designed to meet the growing needs of the high precision micro-mechanical market, the Elite 112 is ideal for use with 0.8 to 12.7 mm diameter stock, even on lathes with very high spindle speeds and headstock accelerations.

Fast and accurate operation is achieved through the use of closed, calibrated, round section channels and high performance rotating tips. In addition, the development of custom-engineered low inertia components allows precise synchronisation with all types of machine headstock, including those actuated by linear motors.

The Elite 112 provides a 28 bar capacity and achieves bar changes in just 26 seconds with 3.2 metre long stock. Its material magazine also features a stepping action that ensures extremely reliable operation with small diameter raw material and the unit’s purpose-designed snap-in channels enable change-over times to be reduced to as little as four minutes.

A library of default settings – accessed through the Elite 112’s control panel – means that no adjustments will normally be required during the equipment’s long and productive service life.
