Some recurrent words in the manual are here described in order to provide a more complete
understanding of their meaning.
Routine maintenance: set of operations necessary to ensure the appropriate operation and
efficiency of the bar feeder. Usually these operations are programmed by the manufacturer who

Extraordinary maintenance: set of operations necessary to ensure the appropriate operation and
efficiency of the bar feeder. These operations are not programmed by the manufacturer and
must be carried out by the maintenance technician.
Expert technician: authorized person chosen among those who have the requirements,
competence and information needed for the installation, operation and unscheduled
maintenance of the bar feeder.

Magneto-thermal switch: also called automatic relay, is an electrotechnical device able to stop a

An actuator is a mechanism through which an agent (examples of actuators are electrical
motors, the hydraulic cylinders, the relays, the electroactive polymers, the pneumatic devices)
acts on the environment. The agent can either be an artificial intelligent agent or any other
self-governing being (human, animal).
