there is no bar stock left in magazine.
0 – When the magazine is out of bar stock, the output will not
contact Y26 “Lack bar” but an alarm message will activate
by contacting Y04.
1 – When the magazine is out of bar stock, the output will
contact Y26 “Lack bar” but Y04 will not be contacted for

Bar change setup 2 of 3 (refer to MODE 7 and 12 for further information)
For cases that the parts machining need multiple chuck
opening, an addition check point should be proceed before
the bar change cycle initiated.
0 – Chuck signal (A1) initiates the loading cycle.
1 – The pusher will be held for 5 seconds before next step
proceeded :
• If the chuck is closed in 5 seconds, the next
