F5.2: Short Bars Must Use At Least (2) Pick Arms
To machine short bars:
1. When you load short bars on the charging tray, make sure that at least (2) of the pick
arms pick the bar up, or the bar may not load properly.
NOTE: The actual minimum bar length depends on your setup. Refer to
page 11 for a description of the process to determine your minimum
bar length.
2. Push all of the bars against the side of the charging tray closest to the lathe.
3. Enter the length of the longest bar in the tray into macro variable #3109 on the BAR
FEEDER Current Commands page.
The bar pusher rapids to the buffer position before it slows to measure the bar length.
