Symmons Industries in Braintree Massachusetts receives about 100,000 pounds of bronze and brass bar stock each day that they turn into a variety of plumbing parts. The 12-foot bars weigh as much as 280 pounds at 3” in diameter. Obviously, this made loading the bars cumbersome and time-consuming.

In searching for a better solution, they agreed to try an LNS Quick Load Servo S3 spindle-length, automatic bar feeder. The company was surprised and pleased with the results: 25% reduction in cycle time (not counting the up to 30 minutes a machine stood idle waiting for another heavy, 12-foot bar to be loaded), and 20% increase in spindle speeds.

Read the complete story and see how choosing the right bar feeder is one key to improving productivity.
