INCHING setup
The bar feeder system might struggle to position profiled (hex,
square...) bar stocks or round ones without proper preparation
to arrive at TOP CUT position cause they are not easy to
enter lathe chuck.
The function INCHING consists 2 actions which help the bar
stock to enter lathe chuck :
1) Move the pusher back and forth couple times.
2) Send continuous INCHING signal to the lathe as an
external command to rotate the spindle. This signal is
specially created for the lathes whose spindle is not
rotatable when chuck is open.
This parameter defines if the pusher movement activated. The
INCHING signal is not affected.
0 – Activate pusher movement.
1 – Deactivate pusher movement.
0 : Keep open
1 : Synchronized
with chuck
