Caution lathe and bar feeder must be powered for installation synch
rod installation.
Warning lathe must be aligned and anchored for synch rod cutting and
installation.
If the length of the synch rod is in question follow the procedure to determine the length of the rod.
Synchronization Connecting Rod Measurement
1. Move lathe Z axis to –Z over travel position.
2. Verify the stroke of the bar feeder synchronization rod. The rod should be able to be
positioned just inside of plate (D). If the rod stops prior to the plate investigate as to why
this is occurring. The extension of the rod should be at least to the MAVD plate (C)
3. Measure from back side of plate (C) to face of plate (D) and subtract 12.7mm (.500). This
measurement is (E), length required for the synch rod assembly.
4. Thread threaded rod (A) into swivel (B). Tighten lock nut.
5. With measurement, from point (E) and swivel on threaded rod (A), cut to length.
A. Threaded rod
B. Swivel
D. Bar feeder side plate
E. Length required for the synch rod assembly
I. Gap from (D) in Z- over travel
H. Synchronization rod
G. Adapter plate
C. MAVD plate
F. Lock nut
6. Thread threaded rod (A) flush with back side of plate (C) and tighten nut (F) as shown.
