Feed method for a multi-spindle automatic lathe and multi-spindle automatic lathe for implementing the method

摘要

The material to be machined, in the form of a coil (5) passes into a straightener (6) and is cut up into blanks by a cutting device (11). The blanks thus produced are inserted into the spindles (3) from the rear with the aid of a conveyor (12). After closing the clamp the normal working cycle is engaged in order to machine the component. The method considerably reduces the reload time for bar stock for conventional multi-spindle lathes.
