2.1

Air Requirements and Connections

Air pressure is necessary for installation to operate the bar feeder. A minimum pressure of 5 bar (75 psi)
is required. Maximum pressure: 6 bar (90 psi). Air must be clean and dry. The Sprint is equipped with a
filtering device to provide maximum air cleaning (see chapter 5, point 1.1).
1/2" standard air hose must be provided by the customer.
2.1.1 Connection:
The connection piece (C) is located at the rear of the bar feeder near
the support plate for electrical connection (A) for junction box and the
hydraulic pump (B).
With collar (D) secure hose (E) tightly.
The air hose must be connected and air present before final alignment
of the bar feeder.
Air consumption:
3.

ALIGNMENT

Align the centerline of the bar feeder with the centerline of the spindle by adjusting the height with the
nuts (see chapter 3, point 2) and sideways by moving the front and rear stands.
The alignment can be done by using either a nylon string or an optical unit.
Prior to aligning the bar feeder, the lathe must be leveled.
To obtain optimum rpm performance, position the front of the bar feeder as close as possible from the
rear of the spindle. The bar feeder must be accurately aligned. Should the bar feeder not be aligned
properly, the bar stock guidance will b
4.

ANCHORING

After alignment, to secure the bar feeder, it is strongly recommended to anchor the unit to the floor by
using eight M10 x 120 mm (1/2" x 5") wedge type anchors. Both front and rear stands as well as the
loader must be anchored.
After the bar feeder has been lagged down, the alignment must be checked and eventually corrected.
During anchoring, the stands may have moved and misaligned the bar feeder.
Lock the columns in position with set screws (see chapter 3, point 2).
