By admin at 24 February, 2009, 3:01 am
Boosting the productivity of a lathe operation by at least 50 percent is as
easy as adding a barfeeder. Such productivity gains stem from the fact that barfeeders provide a constant supply of raw part material to lathes, allow for unattended operation and lend support for machining at fast speeds.
Without barfeeders, a shop has to cut [...]
