Pneumatic Bar Feeder Activation Cylinder Assembly

We’ve separated the Bar Feeder into two components to better support customers who want to build their own custom bar feeder system.

Beyond its use in a bar feeder setup, this assembly can also function as a programmable collet control for opening and closing the collet. You can use M10 and M11 G-code commands to close and open the chuck, respectively.

The Pneumatic Bar Feeder Activation Cylinder Assembly works with our machine and 3C lever collet closer to pneumatically open and close the collet. Click the “Instructions” tab above to download setup documentation.

NOTE: This system is designed for use with the MASSO Touch controller featuring the G3 board. The older G2 board is not compatible with the required MASSO relay module. If you are using a control system other than the MASSO Touch, please consult your controller manufacturer for wiring diagrams and compatibility. Most modern CNC controllers are designed to send relay signals to control external devices.

  1. Air supply must be 80 PSI, minimum.
  2. Air pressure for the air cylinder (P/N 88040) is 70 PSI, maximum. However, we recommend 40 PSI. This is controlled by the air supply.
  3. Air pressure for the bar feeder is 20-30 PSI. This is controlled by the bar feeder air regulator (P/N 88054). CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 30 PSI!
  4. Lubrication for the bar feeder tube and the lever collet closer. We recommend a light machine oil such as “3-in-1 Oil,” or sewing machine oil.
  5. Base dimensions: Our base (P/N 88323) is 6′ x 8″ x 3/4″. If you are mounting the bar feeder on a different work surface, the surface must be at least 6′ long.
