Abstract
In order to increase the product of the speed of rotation times the diameter of the bar stock, the inventive feed apparatus comprises, for guiding the bar stock, a plurality of bearing units constituting the non-rotary part of a hydrostatic bearing receiving oil under pressure. For introducing a fresh piece of bar stock, two rotary components of the bearing unit are capable of opening. A central passage may be either entirely closed and locked, a lever then being completely pushed back, or set ajar, for each bearing unit in sequence, so as to allow the carrier of a pusher to pass, or wide open to allow the fresh bar stock to enter, the mentioned lever then being completely pulled. The feed apparatus is particularly suitable for a computerized numerical control (CNC) automatic lathe.
