ABSTRACT:
A novel apparatus is provided for sequentially feeding elongated workpieces in timed progression to a work performing area of a lathe. The lathe includes suitable means for grasping the ends of the workpiece once positioned within the work performing area and for rotatably driving the workpiece while performing a machining operation on the workpiece. The feed apparatus comprises a conveyor for sequentially moving the workpieces underneath the work performing area so that the workpieces are parallel to the axis of rotation of the lathe driving means but spaced downwardly therefrom. Elevator arms engage and lift a single workpiece to the work performing area whereupon the lathe engages the workpiece and performs the desired machining operation. Upon completion of the machining operation, the elevator arms return the workpiece to the conveyor. The conveyor then moves a subsequent workpiece into position for engagement with the elevator arms.
