CHAPTER 8: OPERATION 79
TRYTON 107/112
6. LOADING
The amount of time the bar-feeder can run unattended will depend directly on the frequency with which the
operator fills the barrel. This operation can be effected during the production cycle.
The barrel is loaded from the rear of the bar-feeder.
6.1. Procedure
• Advance the protective hood (A)
• Raise the rear stop (B)
• If necessary, swing down the rear protection (C)
• Insert the bars (D) into the barrel
• Lower the limiter, while making sure that it is in contact with all the bars that are in the barrel.
If necessary, move the bars back.
If there is an obstacle (wall, machine, etc.) which prevents loading from the rear, the bar feeder will have to
be fitted with a retractable foot so that the barrel can be loaded from the front.
Each time the automatic sequence of the bar feed system needs to be started up, it is advisable to check
the following elements:
• The bars must be butted against the rear stop in the barrel.
• The collet of the bar feed system must correspond to the diameter of the bar.
• The pushing torque must correspond to the material to be loaded
• The front rest (option) must be correctly adjusted (opening and closing) and its elements must be
adapted to the shape of the material.
• On the lathe, the clamping device must correspond to the material to be loaded
