CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7-13
Number of clamping device openings for overall part length
1
2 1
When the machining of a part requires several openings of the clamping device (for ex.: a long part, or
transfer of the part to the sub-spindle), some interface conflicts may occur during the feeding process.
It is important for the bar feed system to be "informed" of the number of times the clamping device must
open for the machining of a part.
The bar feed system only carries out the first positioning for a single part. The following positioning (if
any) must be done by the turret.
Top-cut position (may be not visible)
z
During the loading cycle, the bar is automatically loaded into the spindle and automatically positioned in
the clamping device of the lathe (chuck or actuator).
This positioning corresponds to a value (Z) programmed by the operator, which is equal to the distance
between the measuring cell and the position of the material in the lathe clamping device.
With this system, the setting is the same for any bar length.
More information the section 7. TOP-CUT POSITION of this chapter.
