REV 13.1:2020

4.2.3 Fixed Headstock Shipped Components

All Minuteman are shipped as a Swiss style bar feeder with fixed headstock components. Items

include a hard nose and nose liner. Installation requires the use of these additional components

sold by Edge Technologies.

Step 4 Lathe Condition

While field retrofits on existing lathes maybe challenging when it comes to the presence of an

effective and properly documented electrical interface, the installation on new lathes requires us

to perform a comprehensive assessment as well.

•

Lathe under power and leveled.

•

Electrical interface available and installed. Don’t forget to double check the AC supplied

voltage and pins location prior to plug-in.

•

Chucking package available and installed.

•

Collets available (for laser as well as material).

•

Tooling available for eventual test or production run.

•

Will the customer switch to a different chuck in the future or regularly.

Once the preparations have been made perform the following installation

and alignment procedures.

4.2.4 Bar feeder Install Process

1. Inspect bar feeder for any shipping or handling damage, report as necessary

2. Verify lathe installation condition

a. Lathe level for operation

b. Lathe will power up

c. Lathe has collet or chuck package

d. Lathe is free of any alarms

3. Verify components of the pre installation check list are complete

a. Compressed air available to bar feeder install location

b. Bar feed oil is required, and correct for application

c. Material for lathe

d. Spindle liner on site

4. Verify bar feeder components to pick list are present

a. Required bar feed level pads and associated nuts, washers and screws

b. Anchor bolts
