When the small pusher truck "M" completes its
stroke, the required space has been created for bar-
pusher insertion.
The small pusher truck executes its return stroke.

The upper guides H are closed; the bar-pusher A
is positioned along the spindle axis.

The clamps "D" close, the bar-pusher "A" moves
forwards; the bar "G" is inserted into the bar-
pusher collet.

The bar-pusher "A" and bar "G" execute their facing
stroke. A new automatic work cycle is started.
