4.2.3 Fixed Headstock Shipped Components
All Minuteman are shipped as a Swiss style bar feeder with fixed headstock components. Items
include a hard nose and nose liner. Installation requires the use of these additional components
sold by Edge Technologies.
While field retrofits on existing lathes maybe challenging when it comes to the presence of an
effective and properly documented electrical interface, the installation on new lathes requires us
to perform a comprehensive assessment as well.
• Lathe under power and leveled.
• Electrical interface available and installed. Don’t forget to double check the AC supplied
voltage and pins location prior to plug-in.
• Chucking package available and installed.
• Collets available (for laser as well as material).
• Tooling available for eventual test or production run.
• Will the customer switch to a different chuck in the future or regularly.
Once the preparations have been made perform the following installation
and alignment procedures.
