Minimum Chucking Length: This parameter is used to set the minimum portion of the gripping
surface used of the chuck jaw or collet pads. It is usually set to the full length of the gripping
surface. Should the length of the gripping surface be unusually long this parameter will allow
the user to designate a lesser portion of the surface to be used while still maintaining a safe hold
on the material to be machined. The bar feeder will use this dimension to recalculate the
maximum forward travel distance of the bar pusher.
CAUTION: SETTING THIS PARAMETER AT A VALUE THAT IS TOO SMALL MAY CAUSE
THE MATERIAL TO BE THROWN FROM THE LATHE CHUCK.
Feed Outs Per Part: Enter the number of times the material is advanced during the machining
of one part. This parameter allows the end of bar signal to be sent only before the first feed out
when more than one feed out is called for. This prevents an end of bar signal being generated
in the middle of a multiple feed out part and causing the bar to change before that part is
completed.
In the event that the lathe part program is interrupted and restarted the pusher must touch-off
the material to recalculate the remaining bar stock and reset the count.
