DMTG CKA6140I CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC bar feeder is engineered for high-precision automated machining, supporting a maximum bar capacity of 1.57 inches (40 mm) and a swing diameter of 15.75 inches (400 mm), making it suitable for a wide range of turning applications. The system integrates seamlessly with CNC controls, utilizing a programmable logic controller (PLC) and human-machine interface (HMI) for intuitive setup and real-time monitoring of feed length, cycle count, and remnant handling. Operators can adjust feed speed and push force to match spindle RPM and cutting parameters, ensuring smooth transitions between machining cycles and minimizing vibration for improved part accuracy. The bar stock is guided through a PVC-lined feed tube that stabilizes the material during high-speed operation, reducing whip and wear on the spindle. The CNC control panel serves as the central interface, featuring function keys for power, jog, manual data input (MDI), cycle start/feed hold, and emergency stop, along with a display screen for parameter visualization. Internal components include circuit protection, IO boards, and connectivity options for MPG, servo drivers, and encoders. The system supports automation for unattended operation, with alarms to alert operators of jams or empty magazines. Designed for compatibility with various CNC lathes, this bar feeder enhances productivity and precision in high-volume production environments, particularly for applications requiring tight tolerances and consistent part quality.
