Haas Bar Feeder

The new Haas Bar Feeder provides a simple way to automate part production on Haas turning centers. It features a re-engineered, heavy-duty, and yet compact design that boosts productivity and streamlines turning operations.
Designed and built exclusively for use on the company’s Haas ST-10 through ST-35 and DS series CNC turning centers, this bar feeder connects directly to the machine’s control and is powered by the turning center.
It features a rollaway design that provides access to the rear of the lathe spindle for quick liner adapter and liner changes. When the operator presses the foot-pedal release, the bar feeder rolls out of the way for access. When pulled back into position, the bar feeder locks into place, eliminating accidental bumps or alignment issues.
A single hand wheel is used to make bar height adjustments. Quickchange pushrods snap into place without tools, and both sizes store in the cover of the bar feeder.
The bar feeder uses a belt-driven bar-shuttle system that the company says is seven times faster than the previous version. Optical sensors determine bar position, even on bars with chamfers and ragged ends, and stainless steel runners on the charging tray help bars roll down to the loading area much easier.
Because the bar feeder is integrated with the control, all parameters are set directly at the lathe. On-screen icons indicate if the bar feeder is out of position, has the lid open, or needs to be latched back into place.
