3.2 BARFEEDER ALIGNMENT
3.2.1 GENERAL
Barfeeder alignment with regard to the lathe is the most important installation step and must
be carried out as thoroughly as possible. The time spent by this process is negligible
compared to possible damage to the lathe or the barfeeder in wrong alignment.
Proper alignment of the barfeedeer is important
for its trouble-free run.
Observe prescribed distances in installation, see Fig.2.1.
3.2.2 PRESETTING THE HEIGHT AND SIDE POSITION
•
Install the pusher see Chapter Error! Reference source not found. .
•
Slacken 4 locking screws 3.1/3 and the lock nut 3.1/1 securing the set screw 3.1/2 on
each leg.
•
Using 6 screws 3.1/5 and 4 studs 3.1/4, align the barfeeder into horizontal position to
compensate unevenness of the floor and to eliminate barfeeder twisting. Tighten the
screws.
•
Set the barfeeder roughly into correct position by means of the set screws 3.1/2 and
crank 3.1/6 and horizontal displacement of the whole barfeeder (including the pads
3.1/8). Pusher axis should be approximately aligned with the lathe spindle axis.
