5.4 Macro Variables
T5.1: Bar Feeder Macro Variables
Variable Name Description
#3100 PART LENGTH + CUTOFF Bar feed increment (Length of bar pushed out with each G105
after the bar is loaded). Finished part length + cutoff length +
face cleanup allowance.
#3101 INITIAL PUSH LENGTH Initial bar feed length (Length of bar pushed out past the
reference position when loaded).
#3102 MIN CLAMPING LENGTH Minimum length for clamping (Length of bar required to support
the length pushed past the collet face).
#3103 MAX # PARTS Maximum number of parts.
#3104 MAX # BARS Maximum number of bars.
#3105 MAX LENGTH TO RUN Maximum length to run.
#3106 CURRENT # PARTS RUN Part counter.
#3107 CURRENT # BARS RUN Bar counter.
#3108 CURRENT LENGTH RUN Length counter.
#3109 LENGTH OF LONGEST
BAR
Length of the longest bar (set to 48, if unknown). Setting the
length close to the size of the bar stock allows faster
measurement of shorter bars. This length must be longer than
the bar stock being used.
#3113 MIN RETRACT POSITION Adjust this to make sure the push rod retracts out of the spindle
liner after each G105 push. Jog the V Axis until there is a safe
gap between the end of the push rod and the spindle liner
(approximately 1 inch/25 mm). Look at your V-Axis position, it
will be a negative number (example: -13.0). Enter this number,
as a positive value under variable #3113 (example:
#3113=13.0).
