4.20 Synchronization Connecting Rod

Caution do not operate without synchronization rod securely

connected. Machine damage will occur.

Warning always double check required length of the synch rod prior

to trimming.

The synchronization connecting rod allows the mechanical connection between lathe and

barfeed which allows synchronized movement between the lathe z axis, material, and barfeed

pusher when lathe collet is closed.

The rod may be trimmed to meet this specification. Always verify positioning of bar feeder and

pusher reach prior to cutting the synch rod.

Assemble synch rod with supplied ball joint assembly

Warning Machines with axial track option, the meaurement must be

made in the proper configuration. For example if the lathe is in Guide
Bushing Less Mode the bar feeder must be shifted closer to the lathe. Just
the oposite is true for Guide Bushing Mode.
