The SMART 320 by IEMCA is a technologically advanced bar feeder engineered for use with single-spindle sliding headstock lathes, prioritizing simplicity, speed, and smart operation. This robust unit is optimized to handle a wide range of materials, accommodating round bar diameters from 3 to 20 mm, and hexagonal or square bars within similar ranges. It manages bar lengths spanning from 1-500 mm up to 4-060 mm, providing ample capacity for extended machining runs.

A key feature of the SMART 320 is its speed, boasting a superfast bar changeover time of around 19 seconds for longer bar lengths (e.g., 3-200 mm), which significantly boosts machine uptime and overall productivity. It supports both mobile and fixed headstock lathe types, making it a versatile addition to various production setups. With a feed rate of 1-250 mm per second and a return speed of 2-500 mm per second, the feeder ensures quick and efficient material presentation. Furthermore, the SMART 320 is Industry 4.0 compliant, enabling modern data integration and monitoring, and it offers the option of seamless integration with an IEMCA high-pressure system for fully sensorized, plug-and-play operation.
