Bar Feed Interface

[rrbmachining]

Does anyone know how easy it is to fit a barfeed interface to a SL20. I have been offered a three year old Haas Barfeed and the owner wants to remove the interface from his SL20 and I am looking to fit it to mine

Be careful on the age of the barfeeder.
There were several different versions and your lathe may not work with what you found.
Older bar-feeders came with a standalone servo control box in the bar-feeder.
The newer ones use brushless motors and the CNC drive the bar-feeder motor directly.
If your lathe is already brushless, that's the easiest way to go.
If the old bar-feeder comes with lots of docs, this might work.
Otherwise you may need to talk to your dealer.

Thanks for that, the machine I am putting it on is only just over a year old and one of the last SL20 made, the feeder was made in 2007 so hopefully it should not be a problem
