5.5 Pusher Drive Belt Adjustment
Caution bar feeder and lathe must be emergency stop for belt
adjustment
Warning properly trained personnel are required to adjust drive belt
The pusher drive belt is connected to the carriage. The belt runs the length of the machine
contained inside of a channel. The belt is driven by a servo drive motor via gear reduction
system opposite of the lathe for adequate torque production.
If belt replacement required be sure the carriage
mounting screws and holes are clean and dry of
any oils. A medium thread lock is required.
Anytime the drive belt requires adjustment follow the procedure below.
1. Place bar feeder and lathe into emergency stop.
2. Material may need to be removed form channel if the pusher cannot be moved without
obstruction.
3. Open bar feeder hood.
4. Loosen the 2 locking screws (1) for the
tensioner.
5. Move the motor assembly to the desired
tension. Warning do not set belt tension
too tight, as this will stretch the belt and
potentially lead to belt failure.
6. Tighten the locking screws (1).
7. Close the bar feeder hood.
8. Reset emergency stops and test pusher
operation with the hand held pendant.
