MANUAL OPERATION B-79

Work Rest (With Work Unloading Function)
The work rest is used to support a blank workpiece and a finished product when changing
workpieces in shaft work.
The work rest supports workpieces with two jigs attached to the bar extended from the side of the
spindle. Each jig is equipped with two V-notches. The jig on the operator' side is used for the
finished product and the one in the rear is used for the blank workpiece.
The work rest can carry a finished product by moving in the Y-axis direction to the position from
which you can take it out.
When this type of work rest is provided, the jig between tools on the turret is used not as a
work rest but as a tool for pulling out a workpiece.
