Application Setup

The Quick Load Servo S3 is equipped with 7 pre-defined applications and 1 custom application defined in any configuration by the
user.
An "application" is defined as a specific function of the barfeed in automatic operation coinciding with the material processing of the
lathe.
The pre-defined applications when selected will automatically enable the required "Application" parameters on the barfeed to allow the
base application to function without having to select each one individually.
There are three types of parameters "Application", "Variable" and "Interface".
Parameter types defined
A. Application Parameter
Parameter that alters the automatic operation of the bar feed. (Set by selecting application)
B. Variable Parameter
Parameter containing a value used in a calculation. (Must change when Dia., Part length or
Application changes)
C. Interface Parameter
Parameter related to the electrical interface between the barfeed and lathe. (Not affected by
changing applications)
Applications defined
1. FEED W/TURRET AND WITH M-CODE
- The turret of the lathe will control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by the barfeed.
- To advance the material the clamping device of the lathe must be open and an M-Code output from
the lathe sent to the barfeed to enable the feeding sequence.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.
Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=3, 9=2, 16=2, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other "Application" type
parameters set to =1)
2. FEED W/TURRET AND WITHOUT M-CODE
- The turret of the lathe will control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by the barfeed.
- To advance the material an M-Code output from the lathe is not required. The barfeed will advance
the material when the clamping device opens and all other required conditions are satisfied.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.
Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=3, 9=2, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other "Application" type parameters
set to =1)
3. FEED W/O TURRET AND WITH M-CODE
- The turret of the lathe is NOT required to control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by
the barfeed. The servo positioning capabilities of the barfeed will control the distance the material is
advanced based upon the value entered into the "Input overall part length" parameter located in "1.
Part Setup".
- A pull-to-close type clamping system is required by this application for positioning accuracy. If a
push-to-close type system is used the turret must be used for positioning.
- To advance the material the clamping device of the lathe must be open and an M-Code output from
the lathe sent to the barfeed to enable the feeding sequence.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.
