Front Rest Issues
How the front rest works?
The front rest is used as a guide source for the bar stock to transfer from the bar feed through the headstock. The rest also acts as an
extended support for the back of the bar while the spindle is rotating. It operates using an electric motor which drives the “jaws” open
and closed. There are three operating positions at which the rest will open/close:
“Home” reference position -
this is a constant position at which the rest will open up completely to a zero-position which
calibrates the rest. This position is determined by a mechanical setting which is detected by a
fixed proximity switch (SQ8).
Bar stock diameter position -
this is a variable position at which the rest will close down to approximately (.020”) over the bar
stock diameter. This position is automatically calculated when the bar stock diameter parameter is
entered in.
Guiding channel position -
this is a variable position at which the rest will open up to the I.D. of the guiding channel inserts.
The rest opens to this position in order for the pusher (since the pusher O.D. is greater than the
bar stock O.D.) to be able to travel through the rest. This position is automatically calculated when
the guiding channel parameter is entered in.

Symptoms of front rest mal-functioning
Description Cause
Solution
Front rest is locked in the “home” ref.
position
The front rest has been manually
locked open.
Mechanical obstruction has caused a
front rest error.
Must be manually closed. Refer to
procedure.
Remove any debris which may have
caused a mechanical obstruction.
Front rest is closing too tight on bar stock /
pusher.
Bar stock diameter / guiding channel
size has not been set correctly in the
parameters.
SQ9 switch is mis-adjusted or
defective.
Front rest is mis-calibrated (SQ8).
Check the bar stock diameter and
guiding channel size parameters.
Check the functionality of the SQ9
switch.
Re-calibrate the front rest.
Front rest is not closing enough on the bar
stock
Bar stock diameter / guiding channel
size has not been set correctly in the
parameters.
SQ8 switch is mis-adjusted or
defective.
Front rest is mis-calibrated.
Check the bar stock diameter and
guiding channel size parameters.
Check the functionality of the SQ9
switch.
Re-calibrate the front rest.
