Bar Setup - Transfer Tray Adjustment
The transfer tray provides the bar stock a path that leads into the lathe spindle. When your
Bar Feeder was installed, the service technician adjusted the Bar Feeder height to align the
lathe spindle with the adjustment range of the transfer tray. With this procedure, you raise
or lower the transfer tray to adjust it for the bar diameter.
1.
Press
[EMERGENCY STOP]
on the lathe.
2.
Put the Bar Feeder in the Feed/Auto position.
3.
Put a piece of bar stock in the transfer tray.
4.
Use the wheel to adjust the transfer tray height. Turn it clockwise to raise the tray and
counterclockwise to lower the tray. As you adjust the transfer tray height, move the
bar into the spindle liner by hand. Continue to adjust the transfer tray height until the
bar slides freely into the liner.
5.
Make sure that the collet is set for the diameter of the loaded bar:
a.
With the collet open and the spindle stopped, slide the bar into the spindle liner
and collet by hand, and check for misalignment, binding or interference.
b.
Remove the bar and place it in the charging tray.

Bar Setup - Push Rod Installation / Removal
The Bar Feeder comes with push rods that are 3/4" and 3/8" in diameter. Use the 3/8" push
rod for all round stock material that is smaller than 0.8" (20 mm) in diameter. Use the 3/4"
push rod for material 0.8" (20 mm) in diameter and larger.
CAUTION:
Do not use the 3/8" push rod to push bars larger than 0.8" in diameter.
The push rod can bend.
To change the push rod:

Press
[EMERGENCY STOP]
on the lathe. Open the set-up lid.

At the lathe end of the push rod, slide the bushing retainer away from the push rod.
