Bar feeder automates drilling of tubes and profiles

Apollo s.r.l. offers the Speedy automatic bar feeder, available in different lengths. It can be installed on automatic drilling machines to perform the drilling of tubes and profiles at the desired center distances.

The system is equipped with a motorized carriage with mechanical clamp that blocks the bar to be drilled and positions it. Then the drill vise locks the bar, and the drilling machine starts the drilling process via automatic descent. When drilling is complete, the vise of the drill opens, and the bar feeder carriage positions the bar for the next drilling job.

Bar feed speed, drilling tip rotation speed, tip descent speed, and drilling depth are adjustable.
