The IDEAL 326 bar feeder, often called Simply Super, represents a high level of technology engineered to optimize production on lathes with sliding headstocks. This robust system handles round bars from 3 mm to 26 mm in diameter and accommodates bar lengths up to 3-700 mm. The feeder is built to handle various stock shapes, supporting hexagonal bars up to 22 mm and square bars up to 18 mm.

Operational stability is a core feature, as the system delivers accurate bar selection and guarantees the absence of vibrations even during high-speed rotation, which is vital for maintaining part quality. The magazine utilizes the MP Magazine system and features reversible capabilities for flexible material handling. Production efficiency is significantly enhanced by the feeder’s quick performance specifications, including a fast feed rate and a rapid bar changeover time of only 33 seconds for long bars. With its proven track record and more than 5-000 units installed, the IEMCA IDEAL 326 stands as a globally trusted solution for automatic lathe feeding.
