Used Bar Feeder FAQs
What is a bar feeder, and what is its purpose?
Enabling continuous production by providing a steady supply of material for machining operations without manual interventions, used bar feeders are used in CNC machining operations to automatically feed bars or long workpieces into a lathe, turning center, or swiss-type machine.
What are the advantages of buying a used bar feeder?
When looking at bar feeders for sale, there are several advantages including:
- Cost Savings: Used bar feeders, especially ones that have been well maintained, are generally more affordable than purchasing a new one.
- Immediate Availability: Used equipment dealers not only have used bar feeders readily available, but have regularly updated inventory. This allows for faster setup and integration into your existing production line.
- Established Performance: If you’re looking at purchasing a used bar feeder made from a reputable manufacturer known for making quality machines, the machine likely has a proven track record of reliability and performance. Maintenance records can also prove the machine has been well taken care of over time.
- Similar Functionality: You’ll find used bar feeders will typically offer similar functionality to new ones, enabling efficient material feeding in CNC machining processes.
What factors should be considered when buying a used bar feeder?
From condition and cost and everything in between, there are several factors to consider when purchasing a used bar feeder including:
Compatibility:
Consider your specific CNC machine and make sure the used bar feeder is compatible with it, including the interface and controls. Find out the bar diameter range and length that the bar feeder can accommodate. Consider future needs or the potential for expansion or upgrades. While the used bar feeder may integrate with your current setup, you’ll want to make sure it allows for future scalability or modifications.
Condition:
Consider the age and overall condition of the used bar feeder. Examine the mechanical, electrical, and control system components of the machine for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or malfunction.
Service History:
Find out if there is documentation regarding the maintenance history and previous usage to give you an idea of what repairs or replacements have been made as well as how well the used bar feeder has been taken care of. A well-maintained bar feeder can give you confidence that it will have a longer life-span.
Price and Value:
When viewing used bar feeders for sale, prices may differ due to a number of factors. Factors can include age, condition, manufacturer and model, features and capabilities, market value and more. Make sure to factor in transportation costs once you purchase as well as future maintenance costs. Also consider the overall value the used bar feeder provides in terms of compatibility, performance, reliability, increased production, and potential savings compared to buying a new machine.
Manufacturer and Model Reputation:
Before purchasing the used bar feeder, make sure to research the manufacturer and model of the equipment to get an understanding of its reliability, performance, and spare part availability. Typically, you can find reviews, testimonials, or feedback from other users of the same bar feeder and get an idea of how well it performs in real-world applications. Reputable bar feeder manufacturers are more likely to produce not only high-quality equipment, but also good customer support and training.
Is support or training offered for the used bar feeder equipment?
While used CNC, fabrication and process equipment is sold as is, it’s still important to verify whether any documentation comes with the bar feeder from the used equipment dealer such as user manuals, technical specifications, or any available service or maintenance records. From there, find out what support, technical assistance, or training is available from the manufacturer of the machine. Oftentimes you can find equipment manuals, maintenance schedules, and spare parts on the manufacturer’s website.
Are spare parts readily available for the used bar feeder?
Before purchasing a used bar feeder, confirm the availability of spare parts for the specific model. Ensure spare parts are still produced or readily available in the market or from the manufacturer of the bar feeder machine. Having access to spare parts is essential to help minimize downtime if repairs are needed.
Can the used bar feeder be tested before purchase?
When you’ve decided what used bar feeder to purchase, call the used equipment dealer to schedule an inspection of the equipment. This will give you a chance to observe the bar feeder’s operation, check for wear and tear, and assess its compatibility with your machining process or production line.
