Ask to make sure that the oil for the loader (if required) is available.
Step 3 Check Inventory.
•
Adaptation kit. Check parts and test. If not familiar with the application, call the office and
request an assembly/detail drawing and or pictures.
•
Guide channel, pushers, collets and noses. Make sure that all is available and correct
according to the customer’s pick ticket in the bar feeder.
•
Spindle liners. Check that I.D. matches pusher, test-fit in the lathe, verify that the
retaining ring is available and functional, and finally make sure that the liner can be
removed once the loader is installed.
•
Hardware needed to align, level and anchor the bar feeder to the ground. Is a pigtail
required?
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 preparation have been made perform the following installation and
alignment procedures.
