4.10.3 SERVICE PARAMETERS
Service parameters are parameters which do not relate to the method of part making in the
lathe. These parameters influence the timing of the interface signals, user interface and other
important features of the barfeeder.
Common user should not change the service parameter settings. The
parameters have been set by the serviceman who installed the barfeeder in
such a way that the cooperation between the barfeeder and the lathe is
optimized to maximum possible extent.
Consult eventual change of these parameters with the machine vendor or
manufacturer first.
Improper selection of service parameters can cause
an irreversible loss of all parameters set by the user
or wrong function of the lathe interface!!!
4.10.3.1 #000 – AUTOMAT MODE
Parameter #000 sets the basic mode of barfeeder operation after the start-up of the
automatic cycle. The barfeeder SS2400T/S distinguishes 3 basic work modes. Only normal
automatic mode is used for machining. The other modes are only intended for servicemen of
the manufacturer and the vendor. These modes shall not be used for machining!
#000 Indicator Meaning
Automat Normal automatic mode for machining.
Simulation Mode for testing of the barfeeder installed at the lathe.
Test
Mode for barfeeder running-in in production.
4.10.3.1.1 NORMAL AUTOMATIC MODE
Only this mode of the barfeeder operation is used for bar loading and feeding for their further
processing in the lathe. After successful installation of the barfeeder and testing of the
lathe/barfeeder set it is necessary to activate the normal automatic mode (if not already
activated) before barfeeder handing over to the user.
Activation of the normal automatic mode
Normal automatic mode is so called permanent automatic mode of the barfeeder i.e. this
mode is activated automatically (independently of the operator) after the barfeeder switching
on. Therefore, to activate the normal automatic mode it is sufficient to simply switch the
barfeeder off and on.
