I'm working with a TORNOS-BECHLER ROBOBAR SSF automatic bar feeder mounted on a
Tornos Deco 2000/20. It's a base configuration unit — no DPL/MDI operator console, so I'm limited to the front panel (SA2 mode selector, SB1–SB5 buttons, HL1/HL2 indicator lights).Looking for general input from anyone who's operated, maintained, or programmed one of these:
- Tips, gotchas, or common issues you've run into with this feeder, the Deco 2000/20 control in general
- Workarounds for running it without the operator console
- Anything about parameter setup, calibration, or troubleshooting that isn't obvious from the manual
- Sources for parts, documentation, or people who know these machines well
I've got the full manual and electrical schematics on hand, so I can share pages or details if it helps narrow things down.If anyone with real hands-on experience wants to help more in depth — a call — I'm happy to pay for the time. Just reach out.
