1.1 Introduction

Overview

This operator’s manual supplement describes the unique features and functions of the Haas Bar Feeder. Refer to your Lathe Operator’s Manual for control operation, programming, and other general lathe information.

Specific details about the Haas Bar Feeder itself, including information that is beyond the scope of this document, can be found at www.HaasCNC.com.

The Haas Bar Feeder 12 is a hydrodynamic bar feeder designed for continuous processing of bar stock up to 12' (3.6 m) long on Haas ST-10 through ST-30 and DS-20Y through DS-30Y turning centers. It is a high-performance automation solution that provides superior bar support and vibration control for high-speed turning applications

Built for modern CNC lathe environments, the Haas Bar Feeder 12 uses a hydrodynamic oil bath system to stabilize bars throughout the feeding process – delivering quieter operation, smoother feeding, and improved part finish.
