32 CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
MOVE S2
The motor for the bar feeder is equipped with a built-in absolute encoder that continuously controls the
position of the pusher.
When the bar feeder is switched off or there is a power failure, this position is kept in the memory by the
amplifier.
When powering on, the value saved is immediately taken into account, thus avoiding any referencing
position. The status parameters saved in the PLC prior to powering off are then checked by the PLC
which analyses them. The latter then gives the operator access only to those handling operations that can
be undertaken.
To power up the bar feeder, turn (1) the switch clockwise, to the
I/ON position.
To power off, turn the switch anticlockwise, to the O/OFF
position.
The master switch can be locked with a padlock. This means it is
impossible to switch the bar feeder on.
Push (2) the locking mechanism and insert (3) the padlock into
the opening. Lock the padlock.
Damage to the feeder!
Before any handling, ensure the lathe has completed the piece.
To power off, turn the switch to the left, to the O/OFF position.
