Bar pullers are used in CNC lathes to automatically draw in bars from the clamping chuck. In this case they serve as a substitute for a bar feeder on an NC/CNC lathe. The clamping chuck is fitted directly into the turret of the lathe or into the bar holder. There are two different versions, depending on the design: Start on the X-axis (starting ...
Guide Pillar & Guide Bush : Used for alignment between top and bottom halves of the press tools. Bottom plate:It is used to hold bottom half of the press tool with press slide. Stripper plate: it is used to strip off the component from punches. Strip guides: It is used to guide the strip into the press tool to perform the operation. Press tool
In engineering, a dog is a tool or part of a tool, such as a pawl, that prevents or imparts movement through physical engagement. [1] It may hold another object in place by blocking it, clamping it, or otherwise obstructing its movement.
A center finder is a tool used to align the machining center to a precision location on a work piece. Often these locations might be marked using a layout method (coating the surface with layout stain and scribing a precise location with the intersection of the two lines identifying the position to be machined, etc.
The most common configuration is a tool rack on the side of the press brakes, with a shuttle picking up tools and positioning them where needed. This reduces physical strain on the operator and increases overall productivity. An Automatic Tool Changer for press brakes, used to set up, rearrange, and remove punches and dies.
Cam-operated chuckers are fading into history faster than most other non-CNC machine tool classes. This is because the few companies that have them tend to be forced to continually adapt to the latest state of the art (today all CNC) to compete and survive. Cam-op chuckers may be more likely to be scrapped than other types of non-CNC machine tools.
The drawbar pull is an important component that allows the milling machine to keep the tool in place while it’s being used. The force from the drawbar pull supplied to the tool has to be just right because not enough force would cause the tool to wobble leading to inaccuracy, and too much force would apply excessive stress, leading to shorter tool life.
CNC lathes and screw machines have accessories called "bar feeders", which hold, guide, and feed the bar as commanded by the CNC control. More advanced machines may have a "bar loader" which holds multiple bars and feeds them one at a time into the bar feeder. Bar loaders are like magazines for part blanks (or pallets for milling work) in that ...
