50 CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
MOVE S2
This parameter determines
whether the lathe or the bar
feed will control the positioning
of the part.
Additional parameter (option):
The turret is parked in
position:
the turret travels to the
point the bar stock will be
pushed to and waits that the bar feed has pushed the
material to this point.
The turret is moving to position:
The turret comes to the bar stock end; the bar feed starts
pushing against the turret. Then, the turret moves to the
desired feeding length, the bar feed still maintaining the bar
stock pressure against the turret.
The bar feed drives the feeding cycle. When the clamping
device opens, the bar feed pushes the bar stock according to
the parameter "overall part length" value. The bar feed is not
able to drive the feeding cycle if the machining process
requires several clamping device openings.
This parameter is used to deactivate the M function receipt of the turret if this function is not used in the
lathe interface. In this case, a timer can be used to give the receipt.
This function allows the lathe to run without the bar feeder, ex.: hand loading pieces, etc.
When pieces are loaded manually (without the bar feeder), the pusher can be used as a mechanical
stop in the spindle of the lathe and is generally located behind the clamping device to ease the
positioning of the pieces in the clamping device.
To enable this machining mode, the interface signals are inhibited. When the clamping device is
closed, the pusher moves backward to avoid contact with the rotating bar.
