Axial Shifting
The axial shifting device allows the bar feeder to be moved away from the lathe in either the X
axis (shown) or the Z axis depending on the customer’s preference at time of set-up. The bar
feeder can then be returned to its original position without loss of alignment.
To move the bar
feeder on the axial shifting device the pusher must be retracted to the home position
.
Release the
foot lock cross rail holding the bar feeder in place on the axial track. Push the bar
feeder away from the lathe. Stops on the axial track will prevent the bar feeder from traveling
beyond a safe distance. Once the axial track safety switch is disengaged the bar feeder will
disable automatic mode functions.
To move the bar feeder back into position simply push the feeder back in line with the lathe until
it comes to rest against the stops. Engage the foot lock cross rail and the bar feeder will be
back in alignment with the lathe spindle and ready to run.
