“CROCODILE‘’ BITES LUMPS OFF OF BAR FEED TIMES AND
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES COMPONENT PRODUCTION TIMES
PCM Tooling (UK) Ltd
are pleased to offer a revolutionary type of bar puller,
named the “Crocodile “ by it’s developers –
MPC Systems - which will reduce component production times
substantially on lathes not already fitted with a bar feed system.
Tests have shown that in operation the tool enables feeding
of the bar within 1,5 to 2 seconds after the previous parting off and
spindle stop operations. This is much quicker than a conventional
“shortbar“ type feeder, which would take approximately 10 to 15 seconds to
carry out the same operation.
This massive reduction in
time, leads to reduced component manufacturing times and increased levels of
profit, for users of the new tool.
The Pullex “ Crocodile “ bar puller needs no extra tool
position or tool post on the lathe turret, but forms a single unit, by the
method of being fitted together with the parting-off tool shank and clamped
into the turret position usually reserved for parting off operations.
This enables the bar to be clamped instantaneously after the
previous component is parted off and the spindle stopped.
The operation sequence is as simple as it’s description.
1
Part off
the previous component
2
Spindle
stop
3
Position
turret / tool, a little past bar centre to grip the bar, ready to pull bar
forward.
4
Unclamp
chuck jaws – move the tool turret, to pull bar into new start position.

The tool and it’s operation is described in full in our

The Crocodile tool has been developed by the makers of the
highly successful and award winning “ GRIPPEX bar puller “ range – used in a
large number of UK precision engineering companies for some years.
The "CROCODILE" is exclusively available from PCM tooling (UK) ltd
