9.5 HAND UNIT CONTROL FUNCTIONS
9.5.1 Main Pusher: This will drive the push rod forward in manual mode
9.5.2 Insert Pusher: This will drive the Insert Pusher forward in manual mode
9.5.3 Cross Slide: This will traverse the Cross slide in manual mode, ie align
the centre of channel to centre of spindle or align the push
rod with centre of spindle.
9.5.4 Auto: When selecting auto mode this will engage
auto initialisation and generate a ready signal to the
Lathe.
9.5.5 Full Retract: As the Main pusher gradually feeds material out the collet
this will increase the length of the push rod over hang as
a result of this the Push rod end will have the tendency to
rest in the spindle ie droop, this will cause severe vibration
to the Barfeed and to the Lathe
Selecting this function will prevent this situation from
occurring.
