A bar material supplying device includes a feed rod having a leading end provided with a finger chuck, a feed rod servomotor and an air cylinder device that move the feed rod in a longitudinal direction to insert and pull the bar material into and from the finger chuck, and an NC device that controls driving of the feed rod servomotor and driving of the air cylinder device. The NC device controls the driving of the feed rod servomotor and the driving of the air cylinder device to move the feed rod in an operation of inserting and pulling the bar material into and from the finger chuck, and operates as an error allowable device that allows an error of an operation amount of the feed rod servomotor motor in the operation of inserting and pulling the bar material into and from the finger chuck.

Methods are disclosed for handling cylindrical tubulars in a process that, in preferred embodiments, also performs cleaning, inspection and other operations on the tubular. The tubular is held stationary while it is rotated. During rotation of the tubular, internal and external cleaning systems, and data acquisition systems, pass up and down the length of the rotating tubular. In preferred embodiments, a first tubular is loaded onto the handling machine, whereupon it is indexed and then rotated. Cleaning, inspection and other operations may be performed during rotation. Once operations are complete, the handling system ejects the first tubular while queuing up a second tubular to be loaded.

A method for processing profile beam parts includes providing a machining station, an in-feed transport system, and an out-feed transport system. The method further includes transporting and in-feeding a first profile beam part together with a second profile beam part to the machining station, machining at least the first profile beam part in the machining station, out-feeding the first profile beam part with the out-feed transport system from the machining station to an intermediate position which is at a variable distance X from a discharge position between the machining station and the discharge position, and in-feeding the second profile beam part in the machining station with the in-feed transport system over a distance Y and simultaneously out-feeding the first profile beam part over the distance X from the intermediate position to the discharge position. The capacity of the system is improved with the method.

Method of producing a body (1) for bar feeders, wherein it comprises a first molding step (A) carried out with the aid of a first molding material (M1) in a mold (20) jointly with an overmolding step (B) of a countermold (50), the shape of the mold (20) and/or the shape impressions of the countermold being conceived to achieve in an integral way at least one structural and/or functional element of the said bar feeder.

A muntin bar fabrication system can be used to efficiency produce a wide variety of different types of muntin bars, allowing the fabrication of both standard and custom muntin bar assemblies for doors, windows, and other fenestration products. In some examples, the fabrication system includes a muntin bar stock storage assembly that holds multiple different types of muntin bar stock. The system also includes a muntin bar stock extraction device that extracts one of the different types of muntin bar stock from the storage assembly and conveys the extracted muntin bar stock to a feed device. The feed device feeds the extracted piece of muntin bar stock into a cutting system that includes a multi-axis cutter. The cutting system that performs one or more cutting operations on the extracted muntin bar stock so as to fabricate one or more individual muntin bars from the extracted muntin bar stock.
