  • Page 27 MINUTEMAN a crash between the lathe and bar feeder. If the M-code for bar change or feed is never satisfied, it may be an issue with the cycle start signal being set backwards. The first way to correct this issue would be to change the status of the jumper or wire that is controlling the cycle start signal.
  • Page 28 MINUTEMAN Bar feeder on- This signal is typically used as a bar feeder alarm to the lathe. IF the lathe is always receiving the signal that the bar feeder is in alarm it will show a message saying that the bar feeder is in alarm.
  • Page 29 MINUTEMAN IF wired incorrectly this can cause machines to go into automatic mode when the lathe is not in automatic. IF wired incorrectly this signal can also cause the bar feeder to not allow feeding because the automatic signal is not received. *Needs to be check if wired into the machine interface* To check if this signal is working correctly on the Edge product, put the bar feeder into automatic and check the HMI screen.
  • Page 30 MINUTEMAN Chucker Mode: This setting allows the lathe to run without the bar feeder. When chosen the bar feeder sends an auto mode signal to the lathe while remaining in the manual mode. Feed stop- This signal is used to stop the bar feeder from pushing when bar feeder in automatic and collet open.
