ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a multi-spindle machine system having a control arrangement for selectively slowing down the speed of a stock feeder mechanism. The machine is operable at a low speed or a high speed. A braking arrangement for slowing the advance of stock is operative responsive to a machine controller. The feeder mechanism is slowed prior to engagement of feed stock with a stock stop device. The operation of the system of the present invention enables slowing the feed stock during its feeding into the machine to reduce stock bounce back to ensure more accurate initial positioning of the stock in the machine. The braking arrangement may comprise a machine brake clutch and/or a snubbing clutch.
