Laser Tools Co., Inc. introduces the L56SS Bar Feeder Alignment System that features an instantaneous setup using a self-centering laser tool, accommodates bores as small as 3/4-inch diameter, is compact and portable, uses AAA batteries and increases machine availability by 95%. The laser beam is straight to +/- 0.010-inch per 10 feet (~3 metres).
The L56SS Bar Feeder Alignment System provides an investment in laser alignment that can qualify as preventive maintenance equipment and also decrease setup time. It reduces maintenance cost, emergency repairs, energy consumption, vibration and unplanned downtime so production is optimised.
The L56SS is included within the lathe’s spindle so that the laser beam shoots through the spindle and down the carriage of the bar feeder. Two targets are used to register the left and right and up and down positions of the front and back portion of the bar feeder’s carriage. Depending upon the style of bar feeder, the up and down height is adjusted manually each time a new diameter of bar stock is loaded into the bar feeder.
