CHAPTER 7: OPERATION 7-21
4.2.3. Positions
Position end of bar signal (may be not visible)
5mm
The end of bar position determines the moment when the bar feed enters the loading cycle.
Usually, the end of bar position is adjusted as closely as possible behind the clamping system of the lathe
(approximately 5 mm or a 1/4" behind the chuck jaws or collet pads).This will provide minimum bar stock
remnant.
Regardless of the length of the bars, or parts, the end of bar position is always the same. In very special
cases, a different end of bar setting needs to be selected.
More information the section 6. END OF BAR of this chapter.
Top-cut position
z
During the loading cycle, the bar is automatically loaded and positioned into the spindle, outside 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.
