4.9.6.1 INDICATOR OF BAR HANDLING METHOD
In the automatic mode, an indicator of the method of bar handling by the barfeeder is
displayed in the upper part of the screen; the indicator indicates the basic behaviour of the
barfeeder in automatic cycle depending on parameters #010 and #011.
Indicator Barfeeder Meaning
SS2400T/S Barfeeder setting is not used for barfeeder work with bars, see
the parameter #000.
SS2400T/S Bar is always fed by the barfeeder. The bar is fed to the lathe
stopper.
SS2400S Bar is always fed by the barfeeder. The bar is fed to a position.
SS2400S Bar is fed by the lathe in other way (e.g. by the second spindle).
The new bar is moved by the barfeeder to the lathe stopper.
SS2400S Bar is fed by the lathe in other way (e.g. by the second spindle).
The new bar is moved by the barfeeder to a set position in front
of the clamping device.
4.9.6.2 AUTOMATIC CYCLE STARTUP
•
Before starting up the lathe with the barfeeder check whether the barfeeder is in it basic
position (the pusher in the back and lower limit position).
•
Go with the lathe to the reference point and perform preparatory actions up to clamping.
•
Switch over the barfeeder to the automatic mode and press . The barfeeder will go to
the reference point (if it is not known). After it, it slides the pusher in the spindle to
measure the length of eventual bar clamped in the lathe. Finally, it moves the pusher to
the position see the parameter #101.
•
Using the Reset, cancel the barfeeder alarm on the lathe, if any.
•
Search relevant technological program in the lathe, switch over the lathe into the
Automat, and start the technological program.
4.9.6.3 AUTOMATIC CYCLE TERMINATION
The run of the lathe with the barfeeder can be terminated as follows:
•
By finishing the part on the lathe and pressing the key on the barfeeder.
•
By activating the bar counter and waiting until the set number of bars is processed.
•
By processing of all bars from the barfeeder magazine (the barfeeder indicates the error
no. 7).
