REPLACEMENT OF THE REDUCTION NOSE
We recommend you to use a reduction nose in order to guide the bar correclty into the lathe.
This device is to be installed onto the lathe front side.
The inner diameter of the reduction nose must be one millimeter larger than the outer diameter
of the bar pusher bearings (see "Bar and bar pusher diameter table", paragraph 2.5).
The replacement should take place in the area between the lathe and the bar feeder; shift the
bar feeder if it is provided with a transverse displacement device (see paragraph 7.5),
otherwise follow these instructions:
• Press this button
to select manual operation mode.
• Turn and hold this selector switch to the left
to lift bar selecting device, bar drop
control device and bar pusher.
• Press the bar feeder emergency stop button
to stop bar feeder operation in safe
conditions.
• Remove safety device (A) if the bar feeder
is provided with a bar feeder-lathe guide.
• Lift the upper cover.
• Remove the reduction nose (from bar
feeder side) and replace it.
• Set the bar feeder to its regular operating
conditions.
