Powerpull Bar Puller

Powerpull Bar Puller

The  POWERPULL Bar Puller is for use on CNC or Automatic Lathes with an interchangeable tool turret.  It is designed to pull bar stock and tubes into position for machining purposes, thus giving the ablilty for unmanned operation, without the expense and room need with a bar feeder.   The POWERPULL is a two-jaw lever device with variable tensioning jaws which cater for most types of material.  It comes in two body sizes each with two sizes of jaws.  This easy to set Bar Puller has adjustable gripping pressure and comes with a choice of standard or VDI Shanks.  Special jaws can be designed and manufactured to suit unusual applications

Operation

The bar stock is initially fed by hand through the machine’s hollow spindle to a fixed stop, the bar is then clamped by the spindle-mounted chuck or collet and the machining sequence completed. The ‘POWERPULL’ mounted in the turret is brought towards the headstock and the jaws of the ‘POWERPULL’ are forced over the bar clamped in the spindle chuck. The spindle chuck is then unclamped and the sprung gripping jaws of the ‘POWERPULL’ grip the bar stock, enabling a positive bar drag out to a predetermined stop position. Spindle chuck is then re-operated to clamp bar and the turret is withdrawn further to release gripping jaws. The bar is then ready for the machining process to be repeated Capacity : 6 - 64mm
