Hello, I am hopefully getting a TL lathe in the next few weeks.
I am looking to see if it is possible to make automated parts on this machine (primarily low volume, mainly for the fun of trying to automate the process).
I have an air driven chuck that I could put on this lathe, that will function in a similar way to a hydraulic chuck, which I would be able to control from one of the relays.
I have seen bar pullers in the past, but have also read on CNCzone about “home made” bar feeds on TL lathes. I was wandering if anyone could help me out with the basics of the design and some direction to manufacturing my own.
Many thanks
