2.3 Automatic Operation
There are two conditions in which the automatic cycle can be started.
2.3.1 Automatic Cycle
If the channel is open the automatic cycle starts with Step 1. If the channel is closed the sequence starts
at Step 4.
Step 1: The loading flag feeds bar forward to the vice and returns home. The vice clamps the bar.
Step 2: The guiding channel closes and the pusher moves forward to insert the bar into the collet.
Step 3: The bar is moved forward to the Top Cut position.
Step 4: The lathe makes the Top Cut and starts producing parts.
Step 5: When the ‘End of bar’ position is reached the clamping device opens and the pusher retracts
with the remnant.
