CHAPTER 6: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.4. Limiters
1.4.1. Rear Limiter
The magazine of the Quick Load Servo III MI bar feed system can simultaneously accept bars of various
lengths, from 300 mm to 1,300 mm.
The maximum length (max. L.) of the lathe
spindle determines the length of bar stock
that may be loaded. It is strictly prohibited to
run a bar that extends past the rear of the
lathe spindle. The bar may not extend more
than three times its diameter beyond the
front of the lathe clamping device without
support.
The bars are kept in place by two limiters. The first one stationary (A), is located to the front, and is an
integral part of the loading table. The second one (B), movable, is located on the table and fastened with
screws.
Procedure :
•
Measure the length of the spindle
from the rear to the front face of the
•
Clamping device. Lift the protection
grid. Undo the lock screws holding the
rear limiter in place.
•
Place the limiter at the measured
distance (L.max.) by measuring from
the front limiter. Tighten the lock
screws.
•
Apply the self-adhesive marker on the
loading table. This marker will serve,
in the future, to set the position of the
limiter without having to measure the
length of the spindle each time.
•
Input the maximum length (L.max.) in
the Service parameters (only LNS or
its representative is allowed to change
this value in the parameter).
This allows the loading pusher to advance at
great speed up to the rear limiter, and then
to slow down to avoid a collision at the time
it comes into contact with the bar. Moreover,
if the bar loaded is too long, the bar feed
system notices it when measuring it and
stops the loading cycle.
