a) Preparation
•
Dismantle the pusher.
•
Install setting jigs, see Fig.3.2.
1. Part 3.2/1 into the clamping device of the lathe.
2. Part 3.2/3 into the front grip of the pusher.
3. Part 3.2/4 into the rear grip of the pusher.
•
Pull the string 3.2/2 through sleeves 3.2/4, 3.2/3 and 3.2/1, and secure it by knot in the
part 3.2/4.
•
Fix the flag (pusher) in the back position by screw 3.2/6.
•
Tighten the string to approx. 50 kg, and fasten it on the front part of the spindle to sleeve
3.2/1, using, for example, a clamp, locking pliers or a suitable grip.
•
Place the centring plate 3.2/5 (not included in the delivery) on the rear part of the lathe to
a place where the string runs. You can make the plate e.g. from paste-board, and fasten
it by means of a magnet. Set the plate towards the spindle centre.
b) Presetting before anchoring
Perform all vertical and horizontal adjustments needed for the alignment of the barfeeder and
the lathe by changing the barfeeder position (changing the position and height of the front
and rear leg).
To achieve correct height, use the set screws 3.1/2. Lateral alignment shall be made by
shifting the barfeeder on the floor. The centring shall be assessed by centring the string
against the revolving spindle with the plate 3.2/5, and against the revolving centring sleeve
3.2/3.
First adjust the rear part of the barfeeder and then the front part (closer to the lathe). The
change of the rear part of the barfeeder affects significantly the front part position.
Final position tolerance should be
±
0.2 mm.
1. Check that the string touches no obstacle.
2. Align roughly the Barfeeder.
3. Centre the string on the rear face of the spindle by moving the rear legs, and recheck that
the string does not touch anything.
4. Centre the string on the front face of the barfeeder pusher bracket by shifting the front
legs, and recheck that the string does not touch anything.
5. Tighten the screws you have slackened, see Chapter 3.2.2. Check whether the string has
been centred within the specified tolerance. Repeat steps 3-5, if need be.
