Even if the above described procedure is observed, a lathe error may arise.
It may be caused by exceeding of permitted M-code time in the lathe.
If the barfeeder feeds only to the "open clamping device" (without M-
code), it will send an error message no. 6 independently of the above
described procedure.
Material should not be replenished under the machine
operation, if not necessary.
4.9.7 LATHE OPERATION WITHOUT THE BARFEEDER
Lathe operation is possible without the barfeeder provided the power part of the barfeeder is
connected and the flag is in the back limit position. In this case the barfeeder does not issue
the error message, and do not lock the spindle turning.
Some lathes can "disconnect" the barfeeder and ignore its signals. This
function enables barfeeder switching off by the Q1 switch without causing
a lathe error. In this case however the lathe ignores the barfeeder signals,
and therefore there is a risk in any barfeeder handling that the pusher can
get into contact with the rotating spindle and be damaged!
