Abstract: A bar feeding device, for example for a lathe, and a process for using a bar feeding device This bar feeding device comprises: a base extending lengthwise, a channel cover extending lengthwise and rotatably connected to the base, a guiding member comprising a guiding channel extending lengthwise, a pusher flag, a mover, such as an endless chain, fastened to a first end of the pusher flag and able to move the pusher flag lengthwise, a push bar able to move within the guiding channel and fastened to a second end of the pusher flag. The channel cover comprises at least one displaceable member and an displacer for actively displacing the displaceable member relative to the channel cover.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bar feeding device, for example for a lathe. This bar feeding device comprises:—a base (1) extending lengthwise, a channel cover (4) extending lengthwise and rotatably connected to the base (1), a guiding member (7) comprising a guiding channel (8) extending lengthwise, a pusher flag (12), a mover, such as an endless chain (13), fastened to a first end of the pusher flag (12) and able to move the pusher flag (12) lengthwise, a push bar (9) able to move within the guiding channel (8) and fastened to a second end of the pusher flag (12). This bar feeding device is further characterised in that the channel cover (4) comprises at least one displaceable member (14,14a) and an actuator (15) for displacing the displaceable member (14,14a). The invention also pertains to a process for using such a bar feeding device.
