Video Tech Brief: Benefits of a CNC Bar Puller
CNC bar pullers can benefit machining processes by providing automation. Watch this video to learn more from a user of a bar puller on a turning center.
A CNC bar puller like the one from Royal Products incorporates a cutoff tool. The bar puller is a form of machine automation because it can machine parts without needing to open the door of a machine tool and manually pull out the bar for the next part to be machined.
The DN Solutions Lynx 220 at BBInfinite (North Little Rock, Arkansas) is equipped with a Royal Products’ bar puller. Watch the video above to learn about the benefits of incorporating this in a turning center.
