IEMCA Mini BOSS 332: Proven Flexibility & CNC Control

ST. LOUIS, MO - The IEMCA Mini BOSS 322 automatic bar feeder combines proven IEMCA design features with the flexibility and reliability of CNC Control.

Compatible with Swiss-Type or fixed headstock CNC lathes, the Mini BOSS feeds 12' bar stock in a diameter range from 3 mm to 32 mm. Magazine capacity is twenty six 10 mm diameter bars. It is equipped with a quick-change elastic guide channel, permitting
the rotation of round, square and hex shaped bars at increased RPM with minimal noise and no vibration. Setup time between bars of different diameter, without guide channel changes, is less than 10 minutes. If channel changes are necessary, setup can be done in less than 30 minutes. Bar change time: 25 seconds for 12' bars.

Patented double pusher system reduces the overall length of the feeder by a full 4 feet over previous models. The Mini BOSS feeds 12' stock regardless of the machine tool spindle length. An oil-lubricated Vulkollan front guide bushing automatically opens to allow the bar pusher to pass through, reducing stock vibration at the spindle and providing excellent part finishes and maintaining tight tolerances. In many cases, the Vulkollan front guide bushing allows for a greater size range of bar diameters to be machined without a guide channel changeover.

The Mini BOSS 322 is complete with a headstock synchronization device allowing rapid backward/forward movements on sliding headstock lathes without forward feed pressure from the bar pusher. The result: no bar distortion. Maximum adjustable feeding speed: 750 mm per second. Maximum adjustable return speed: 800 mm per second. The bar feeder cycle and lathe interconnection are entirely controlled by a reliable, flexible CNC with integrated PLC designed by IEMCA .

All operations are monitored in detail, and a display identifies any process deviations before they are problematic. Functions now routinely monitored, include: thrusting clutch adjustment during bar feeder cycle; continuous adjustment of feeding speed; checking feeding length; position on lathe fixed stop without any stroke; easy automatic loading of any shaped bar; rear extraction or front ejection of bar remnant; and quick, easy electrical interface with all lathe models.

For more than 40 years, IEMCA has been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of automated feeding systems for both single- and multi-spindle lathes, and has built a reputation for innovation and unparalleled service and support. The company continues to offer the most comprehensive product range in the automated feeding systems marketplace. Hydromat, Inc., is the exclusive North American distributor of IEMCA Advanced Feeding Systems.
