  • Patent number: 9694425
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a socket alignment device for a bar loading magazine for guiding a bar of material to an automatic lathe, wherein a z-axis (z) is defined by the longitudinal axis of a bar of material (2) guided in the bar loading magazine, and wherein a first socket (1), into which the bar of material (2) is to be introduced for processing thereof in the automatic lathe along the z-axis, is arranged in the bar loading magazine, wherein the first socket (1) is mounted so as to be rotatable either coaxially about the z-axis (z) or about a rotational axis (??) parallel to the z-axis (z) and wherein at least one drive means (6) is included, which can be coupled at least to the first socket (1), specifically to the rotary drive of the first socket (1) about the z-axis (z) in such a manner that the first socket (1) and the cross-sectional profile of the bar of material (2) can be aligned flush with one another for introduction of the bar of material (2).

  • Patent number: 8573100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a loading magazine for guiding bar material on an automatic lathe with at least one spindle head that is displaceable in the longitudinal direction. According to the invention, the channel system of a loading magazine of this type is guided on a linear axis and coupled to at least one spindle head, which can be moved in a longitudinal manner, of the automatic lathe such that the bar-guiding channel system can be moved synchronously with the spindle head in drag operation. The formation zones for vibrations in the transition region between the loading magazine and automatic lathe are thus reduced.
