Safety
The bar feeder is designed to be safe and reliable to operate. However, the machine can be
dangerous if used improperly by untrained personnel. Personnel should be familiar with the
operating instructions of the equipment before using and must follow standard safety practices.
The bar feeder is equipped with safety devices to prevent accidental damage to the machine
and injury to the operator. These devices must not be bypassed or tampered with.
2.5.1 Covers
The bar feeder is supplied with covers to prevent access to moving parts during operation. The
hood of the bar feeder is equipped with a safety switch, S6, to place the machine in alarm if the
hood is not closed. The magazine cover prevents access to the material on the rack and the
bar separators.
2.5.2 Axial Shifting Switch
The bar feeder is equipped with an axial shifting device to allow the machine to be moved away
from the lathe without losing the alignment. A safety switch, S27, on the axial shifting device
prevents operation of the bar feeder if it is not in the proper position.
