2.3.2 Axial feed unit
The AFU is held in place by two clamp collars and may
be secured in any position along the bar. It travels with
the bar and tool head axially along a fixed leadscrew.
Select the feed direction by shifting the feed shaft posi-
tion (see Section 3.4.1 on page 40 for more information).
2.3.3 Leadscrew
The fixed leadscrew may be mounted either to the RDU or to the axial leadscrew-
mounting block.
For the BB4500, standard leadscrews have 12" (305 mm) or 24" (610 mm) of
travel.
For the BB5000, standard leadscrews have 12" (305 mm), 24" (610 mm), or 36"
