Facing Type: Selects between modes of bringing a new bar to facing position and restarting the
lathe at the end of a bar change. Choices are Position and Turret Stop.
Position
: - the bar feeder advances the bar to the position set by parameter Facing Length and
stops. The cycle start signal is sent to the lathe when the Facing Length position is reached.
Turret Stop
: - the bar feeder advances the bar to the position in Facing Length, then keeps
pushing until the lathe collet closes. The cycle start signal is sent to the lathe when the Facing
Length position is reached.
Remnant Type Selects between modes of remnant disposal. Choices are Extraction, Ejection
and Return & Wait.
Extraction:
At the last available part from a bar the bar pusher remains at the pullback distance
until the bar change is commanded by the lathe. The pusher then retracts to the home position
in preparation for a new bar to be loaded. The remnant is pushed out of the chuck with the new
bar as it feeds to the facing position.
Eject with new bar:
After feeding the last available part length into the lathe the pusher retracts
to the home position when the collet closes. When the lathe sends the bar change command
the new bar is loaded into the lathe with the remnant being ejected by the new bar as it feeds
through the spindle to the facing position.
