Alignment
Before aligning the bar feed system, check to see that the lathe is stable and, if possible,
levelled.
Reminders:
· The bar feed system should be placed as close as possible to the lathe spindle.
· To obtain a perfect alignment, it is advisable to install the largest feeding pusher.
· If a spindle liner is installed, make sure that its I.D. is larger than the O.D. of the feeding pusher.
· It is not mandatory that the lateral level of the bar feed system is perfect; just make sure that the
latter is as straight as possible.
· The longitudinal level of the bar feed system must be adjusted according to the level of the lathe,
even if the lathe lies only over three points and cannot be perfectly levelled.
Should the level of the bar feed system not correspond to that of the lathe, the feeding pusher
might touch the inside of the spindle.
Procedure:
· Place the level on the loading channel. Adjust the level with the screws (A).
· Lock the feeding pusher manually, and move it behind the lathe spindle.
· If necessary, adjust the height, (see preceding page) until the feeding pusher is in the centre of the
spindle.
· Simultaneously, proceed with the lateral alignment, by moving the device (with a plastic hammer, for
example).
· Move feeding pusher forward, checking its entrance into the spindle. If the feeding pusher deviates,
check again whether the bar feed system is level.
· The feeding pusher must be centered at the point of entry, as well as behind the collet of the lathe,
and should never come into contact with the I.D. of the spindle.
· When the alignment is considered satisfactory, lock all screw nuts.
Remove the eyed screws and install the plastic caps on the main access cover (the plastic caps should be
among the parts in the separate package).
