1.2. Preparation for mounting
For mounting and installing the bar feeder, it is advisable to contact LNS or
one of its agents. The latter cannot be held responsible for any malfunction
resulting from an incorrect installation in which they did not take part.
·
Insert the two lift bars (
B
) delivered with the bar feeder into the holes of
the lifting plates.
·
Place the hoist vertically above the bar feeder.
·
Place the straps over the ends of the bars (
B
), then attach them to the hoist.
·
Raise the hoist to tighten the straps.
·
Remove the screws (
A
) holding the bar feeder to the pallet during transportation.
·
Lift the bar feeder and remove the pallet. Ensure that the bar-feed system is balanced.
·
Move the bar feeder, taking care that it remains horizontal and that no one is nearby or under the
suspended load.
·
Do not knock the bar feeder as you move it; this may damage it.
·
Place the bar feeder behind the lathe, as close as possible and in approximate alignment with the
spindle. For the placement, the stationary and mobile space requirements for the lathe and the bar
feeder should be taken into account. When placing the bar feeder insert levelling plates under the
feet.
The distance between the lathe and the bar feeder should not exceed 20 mm. Should
an obstacle impose a greater distance, contact LNS or their local representative.
The area around the lathe and the bar feeder must be cleared to allow for their
maintenance and handling. It should remain clear after the installation is completed.
