4 OPERATION
4.1 Using the remote pendants
Operator controls for the machine are located on the remote pendants, described
below.
CAUTION
The bar rotation and the axial feed are independent of each other.
Be sure the feed is OFF when the bar is not running.
4.1.1 Feed pendant
The following is a description of the feed pendant controls:
A momentary button which
overrides the feed rate
potentiometer and runs the axial
power feed at maximum rate,
regardless of the potentiometer
setting.
A 3-position switch that
determines the direction of the
axial or radial feed. In the STOP
position, the motor will not move
under power from the pendant.
Feed direction may be changed
during operation.
The Feed potentiometer controls
the axial feed rate.
Counterclockwise decreases the
feed rate; clockwise increases
the feed rate.
CAUTION
Damage to the cutter, the boring machine and your work piece may
occur if the bar rotation is stopped while the power feed is engaged
and the cutting tool is in contact with the work piece.
