Royal Coolant Actuated CNC Bar Pullers

Royal CNC bar pullers can be used to easily automate any CNC lathe or turning center. Bar pullers improve productivity by enabling CNC lathes to run unattended, freeing up operators to handle other tasks. Royal CNC bar pullers are inexpensive, require minimal setup, and can be easily fit to any CNC lathe.

Royal bar pullers have a number of advantages over bar feeders:

-Bar pullers are much less expensive. The average cost of a Royal bar puller is $600, compared to $10,000 - $30,000 for a bar feeder.

-Royal bar pullers are easier to setup and use - no electrical interface with the machine tool control is required.

-Bar pullers don't waste valuable floor space.

-Bar pullers can be easily moved from machine to machine as jobs require.

-Royal bar pullers offer maintenance-free operation.

Additional Information:

The patented Grippex 20L bar puller is actuated by a CNC lathe's coolantsystem. As coolant is fed through the unit, it pushes a piston forward which causes the fingers to close around the bar stock. When the coolant isturned off, the fingers automaticallyspring open.

Self-adjusting mechanism - fingers will close down until they contact the bar stock so no presetting is necessary. This feature allows the Grippex to make multiple pulls on the same workpiece, even after the OD has been turned.

Unit can also be operated by air pressure.

When fitted with robot gripper jaws, the Grippex can:

- Remove a bar remnant from a bar-fed lathe and drop it into the partscatcher. This eliminatesthe risk of the remnant falling into the chip conveyor where it can become jammed and cause damage.

- Remove a finished workpiece from a sub-spindle and place it into the parts catcher. This eliminates the need for ejectors and also allows the sub-spindle to swallow longer parts.

The Grippex Coolant Actuated Bar Puller is also useful as a part loader/unloader. When fitted with special jaws, this tool can:

-Remove finished parts from a machine's subspindle and place them into the parts catcher. This eliminates the need for unreliable ejectors and enables the subspindle to swallow longer parts.

-Remove a bar remnant and drop it in the parts catcher for disposal. This prevents the remnant from falling into the chip conveyor where it could become jammed and cause damage to the conveyor.

-The Royal Grippex Bar Puller achieves very high gripping force through a patented finger mechanism that pivots on roller bearings. As little as 15 psi of coolant pressure is enough to enable the Grippex to pull a 210 lb. bar!

Unit can also be operated by air pressure for custom applications.
