Wir verwenden zwei Stangenlader von Samsys. Wir sind mit der Qualität und Funktionalität sehr zufrieden. Das erste ernsthafte Problem nach 13 Jahren intensiver Nutzung ist der Motor, der das Ende seiner Lebensdauer erreicht hat. Die Lieferung erfolgte am nächsten Tag in ein anderes Land. Dank der schnellen und hervorragenden Hilfe von Samsys über WhatsUp haben wir ihn selbst ausgetauscht. Samsys war eine sehr gute Wahl.

Bar feeder broken? The worst-case scenario for your production.
The bar feeder is the heart of your production. Without it, no CNC machine can run for long.
- Your bar feeder is becoming increasingly unreliable:
- The feed keeps jamming.
- The magazine is not detecting the bar change correctly.
- The bar feeder simply stops in the middle of the cycle.
- And the set diameter keeps changing.
It’s just so annoying!
- But the problems don’t end there:
You report the faults to the manufacturer, wait for a call back and hope that someone will come to repair it soon.
But instead, this is often how it goes:
- Recalls take ages, and it’s not uncommon to wait days for a reply.
- Your manufacturer doesn’t have the urgently needed spare parts in stock and has to order them first.
- The service technician only turns up days later, but without the right parts or the appropriate tools.
- Instead of fixing the root cause, entire assemblies are simply replaced in the hope that this will solve the problem.
- And no sooner is everything up and running again than the same fault reappears and the whole problem starts all over again.
The result: All of this means that you end up wasting valuable time, as you find yourself increasingly busy checking error messages and troubleshooting problems yourself.
The problem: every minute lost delays your
entire production process.
It then becomes increasingly difficult to complete orders on time and deliver products by the deadline. This doesn’t just make you look bad in your customers’ eyes.
In the worst-case scenario, you could even face a hefty contractual penalty.
How to avoid production downtime
To ensure your production runs smoothly, you’ll need:
A bar feeder that works reliably.

About Samsys
We have been developing and building automation systems for CNC machines for over 40 years. Our focus is on bar feeders, and for good reason: We recognized early on how crucial they are for stable manufacturing processes. We were among the first manufacturers to develop the short-bar feeder, thereby setting a new standard.
Ever since then, everything we do has revolved around this topic. Today, our four decades of experience are reflected in every detail—from reliable feeding and seamless integration to the technology itself. We know what matters in manufacturing because many members of our team have a background in production themselves. So they understand the problems that truly plague machine operators in the field.
Because we handle development, manufacturing, and service all under one roof, we can respond quickly to every customer inquiry—whether it involves a repair, replacement parts, or a completely new machine.
Today, our systems are in use throughout Europe. We are constantly refining our designs, testing new ideas, and adapting each model to the demands of modern manufacturing. What drives us has been the same philosophy since day one: Building technology that runs reliably.
From Alzey to the Whole World
Our headquarters are located in Alzey. From here, we serve customers all over the world.
That’s because most projects are handled entirely remotely: We coordinate everything by phone or email, deliver the accessories and the appropriate bar feeder, which you can set up yourself in just a few simple steps. However, if you’d prefer, our technicians will be happy to take care of that for you.
