Safety recommendations
READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING MAGAZINE BARFEED
Since we are continuously improving the design of our magazine barfeeds, it is possible that
the illustrations may vary from the equipment you received. Concerning the electrical and
pneumatic diagrams, always refer to this manual.
However, some previously accepted shop practices may not reflect current safety regulations
and procedures, and should be reviewed to ensure compliance with the current local safety and
health standards.
We recommend that all shop supervisors, maintenance personnel and machine tool operators
be advised of the importance of safe maintenance, setup and operation of this equipment. Our
recommendations are described below.

Read these safety recommendations before you start working with your
magazine barfeed:
Read appropriate manual or instructions before attempting operation or maintenance of the
barfeed. Make sure you understand all instructions.
Do not operate equipment unless proper maintenance has been regularly performed and
equipment is known to be good working order.
Do not remove any warning or instruction tags from magazine barfeed.
Do not loosen any screws secured by paint.
Do not operate equipment if unusual or excessive heat, noise, smoke or vibration
occur. Report any excessive of unusual vibration, sounds, smoke or heat as well as any
damaged parts.
Make sure equipment is properly grounded. Consult National Electric Code and all
local codes.
Disconnect main electrical power before attempting a repair or maintenance.
Do not reach into any control or power case area unless electrical power is off.
Do not touch electrical equipment when hands are wet or when standing on a wet
surface.
Allow only authorized personnel to repair electrical equipment.
Replace blown fuses with fuses of the same size and type as originally furnished.
Keep the area around the machine well lit and dry.
Have the correct type of fire extinguisher available when machining combustible
material and keep chips clear of the work area.
Do not use a toxic or flammable substance as a solvent cleaner or coolant.
Do not alter the machine to bypass any interlock, overload, disconnect or other safety
device.

Safety recommendations
Remove any loose parts or tools left on the machine or in the work area before operating
machine. Always check machine and work area for loose tools and parts especially after
maintenance personnel have done work.
Before pressing the cycle start push-button, make certain that proper functions are
programmed and that all controls are set in the desired modes.
Know where all stop push buttons are located in case of an emergency.
Check the condition of the barfeed before operating (water trap is empty, the air
pressure and the status of the indicator lights are correct.)
Make certain that all guards are in good condition and are functioning properly before the
cycle is started.
Dont operate the loading mechanism if the gauge on the channel scale (fig. 4.3/3) is set
to a diameter larger than 80 mm. (102 mm on SS2003 HD)
Check setup, tooling and security of workpiece if the machine has been off for any
length of time and its going to work without operator.
Do not take off safety covers when machine is working.
Do not remove or load workpieces while any part of the machine is in motion.
Do not operate any machine wearing rings, watches, jewelry, loose clothing or neckties, or
long hair not contained by net or shop cap.
Do not leave tools, workpieces or other loose items where they can come in contact with
a moving component of the machine.
Do not attempt to brake or slow the machine with your hands.
Any attachments, tools or machine modifications not obtained from our company, must
be reviewed by qualified safety engineer before installation.
Use caution around exposed mechanism and tooling especially when setting up. Be careful
of sharp edges on tools.

Chapter 1. Description

DESCRIPTION

1.1

GENERAL

The magazine barfeed Spacesaver 2003 has been designed to fit all types of automatic lathes.
The machine head stock length determines the bar length. This allows automatic bar loading
and bar feeding at a low cost to a CNC lathe user, creating a highly efficient and economic
manufacturing process.
The spindle liner centers the bar on lathe center and guides the bar into the spindle. The
spindle liner also prevents damage to the spindle if, during rotation, bar is released from
chucking device in lathe, or when the bar is bent. .
This magazine barfeed was designed for machining round bars, square, hexagonal or shaped
stock. Machining square, hexagonal or shaped bars requires a lathe spindle orientation device.
Machining square bars requires rotating the channels bar guiding block 180 degrees. When
machining bars of special shape it is necessary to install special shaped liner or guide. This
liner is not part of the basic equipment of magazine barfeed.
Its compact design reduces space required behind the lathe.
The bar diameter adjustment is simple and fast, and remnant ejection does not require a
special device.

1.2

APPLICATIONS

The magazine barfeed SS 2003 allows:


automatic low cost CNC lathe operation
utilization of limited floor space due to its small footprint and its lateral loading.
accurate job at high speed, not affected by the magazine barfeed.
continuous operation, avoiding changeovers in setup.
solves problems due to bent bars or geometry faults.
the automatic change of bar stock, by a pre-programmed PLC.

1.3

CONCEPT

The concept and function is very simple, the magazine barfeed SS 2003 is very viable with a
long lasting life and requires minimum maintenance. Its operation is simple even for an inexperienced operator.

OPERATION

The magazine barfeed SS2003 feeds barstock into the lathe according to the following
sequence:
a. The bar stock is loaded into to channel by the electrical loading mechanism. The channel
locates the bar on the spindle center.
b. The flag advances the bar stock into the spindle. Then the flag fully retracts.
c. Pusher is lowered onto the spindle axis.
d. The pusher advances the bar stock into the open collet (or chuck) against turret stop.
e. The collet (or chuck) is closed and the pusher retracts.
f. The lathe machines part.
g. The next bar is fed to the turret after spindle stops rotation and the chuck opens (or when
the lathe gives appropriate signal).
h. The signal end of bar (EOB) is given during the last feeding when bar stock length is
sufficient to machine still one part but no more. EOB starts the NC part program which
finishes last part and gives signal to eject the remnant.
i. The pusher ejects the remnant.
j. When the remnant is ejected pusher retracts and a new bar is loaded

1.8

SUPERVISION AND SECURITY

The magazine barfeeder is equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) that controls
all functions and binary signals are processed.

1.9

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

50/60 Hz (2. Fuses till 240 V 4A, for higher voltage 2A), and secondary 24 VDC after
rectifier for PLC input and output circuits and bar loading motor.
Its consumption is 0.25 kW. The connections between the lathe and the magazine barfeed are
illustrated in Addendum 3 Interface. (Modified diagrams exist for specific lathes)

1.10

PNEUMATIC SUPPLY

The pneumatic circuit of the magazine barfeed requires a supply of filtered (not oiled)
compressed air between 4 and 10 bars (60 - 120 psi). Inside diameter supply hose is 8 mm. Its
average consumption is 0.7 cubic feet per hour. (Supposing 5-6 bars is machined). A relief
valve avoids all excess pressure problems and assures total security.

INSTALLATION - MAGAZINE BARFEED FLOOR


MOUNTING

3.3.1

GENERAL

The alignment of the magazine barfeed relative to the lathe is the most important operation of
the installation and must be carried out with extreme care. The time spent is insignificant
when compared to the possible damage to the lathe or magazine barfeed of misalignment
(axes of lathe and magazine barfeed are not in the correct position).
Accurate alignment of the barfeed is critical to correct operation.
Refer to the installation plans and follow the indicated distances as precisely as possible (see
chapter 2 fig. 2.1).

3.3.2

HEIGHT AND SIDE POSITION PRE-ADJUSTMENT

For the height pre-adjustment to the magazine barfeed refer to the following procedure:

Check with water level, that the barfeed magazine is correctly leveled (with no body
torsion) if not, correct the position with screws for the height adjustment on the leg pads.
Both leg pads must firmly lay on the floor.
Install the pusher
Loosen 4 screws on both legs
To the holes for stud bolts (fig. 3.4/1), insert appropriate spacer tubes (between stud bolts
and holes), which secure clearance for light side alignment later.
Using the 4 screws for height adjustment, lift the magazine barfeed legs upon the leg pad
with clearance for light alignment (about 5 mm). Check horizontal position of the frame in
both directions. Tighten the stud bolts.
Using the height adjustment screw, adjust the magazine barfeed approximately to the
height position. Tapping the pad, adjust the magazine barfeed approximately to the correct
side position.
The pusher should be on centerline with the spindle liner.
Continue with alignment according to chapter 3.3.3

3.3.3

ALIGNMENT

a) Preparation
To properly align the magazine barfeed to the lathe, an alignment kit including ring inserted
into lathe clamping device (3.6/1) and rear carrier of alignment cord (3.6/4) a centering gauge
(3.6/3) and an alignment cord (3.6/2), is supplied with each magazine barfeed.
To perform the alignment, proceed as follow:
Remove the pusher
Install the alignment kit supplied (fig. 3.6)
1. part 3.6/1 in the lathes clamping device
2. part 3.6/3 in the pusher front carrier
3. part 3.6/4 in the pusher rear carrier
Fix flag at the rear (using the mechanical stopper)
Pass the alignment cord 3.6/2 through rings 3.6/1, 3.6/3 and 3.6/4.
In the ring 3.6/4 secure the cord with a knot.
Tie the alignment cord between 40 to 60 kg and fasten it to the ring 3.6/1 on the front of
clamping device.
Place the centering magnetic gauge on the rear of the spindle with the point toward the
center of the spindle bore, where the alignment cord goes through 3.6/2. The centering
gauge must be made from a piece of flexible magnetic strip.
WARNING
When performing the alignment operations, make sure that the alignment cord
does not touch any metallic part at the front of the magazine barfeed or at the rear
of the spindle.

Chapter 3. Installation - set up


b) Rough alignment before lagging to floor
All vertical and horizontal adjustments necessary to align the magazine barfeed to the lathe
are made with the adjustable front and rear leg (fig. 3.3 and 3.4)
Adjusting the rear legs (furthest from the lathe) will affect the alignment string relative to the
gauge (3.5/1) on the back of the spindle.
Adjusting the front legs (nearest the lathe) will affect the centering ring (3.6/3) relative to the
alignment string.
Always adjust the rear legs, then the front legs, as the rear adjustment alters the front centering
ring by a large amount, while the front adjustment alters the rear only minimally.
To get the correct height, use again the height adjustment screws in the legs. Check the height
with the centering ring (3.6/3) and the magnetic centering gauge (3.5/1) on the back of the
spindle. The general tolerance of final position is +/- 0.2 mm. The alignment tolerance before
anchoring to the floor should be +/- 0.5 mm.
WARNING
If the final positioning tolerance of 0.2 mm is not respected, it risks damage to
the lathe or the magazine barfeed during the automatic functioning, pusher could
touch the spindle liners in the spindle. SMW declines all responsibilities in case of
damage to the machines (lathe or magazine barfeed) due to the misalignment.

26

Chapter 3. Installation - set up


1. Check for any interference between cord and any part of the lathe or magazine barfeed

2. Rough align the magazine barfeed.

3. Center cord on spindle back by adjusting rear legs of the magazine barfeed. Once again
check for any interference of the wire.
OK

4. Center cord on front pusher guide by adjusting the front legs of the magazine barfeed.
Once again check for any interference of the wire.
OK

5. Carefully block adjusting screws (se chapter 3.3.1 and 3.3.2). Recheck the cord for
alignment and start again point 3 to 5 if necessary (if you did not get necessary tolerance).

c) Anchoring the magazine barfeed to the floor
When the alignment is correct, bolt the magazine barfeed to the floor with the expansion bolts
(2 per each leg and 1 for table support) supplied.
Drill one hole per leg, using a masonry drill bit, to a depth of at least 110-120 mm
(preferably all the way through the floor)
Insert an expansion bolt before drilling the second hole.
The expansion bolts should not touch the bottom of the drilled holes.
Make sure that all expansion bolts are in place and tightened use the supplied washers (the
washers used to bolt the magazine barfeed to the wooden crate).

d) Final alignment
Fine adjustment may be necessary to complete the magazine barfeed alignment. Take out the
spacers from the holes around the stud bolts connecting the leg with pad and repeat operations
described in point b) on previous page, but move the magazine barfeed only on the leg pad.
When the magazine barfeed is adjusted in the correct position tighten all locking nuts and
fixing screws, then re-check the magazine barfeed alignment. The final positioning tolerance
is 0.2 mm. When the magazine barfeed is perfectly aligned, remove the alignment kit and
store it for future use.

3.3.4 TABLE INSTALATION


To finish installation is necessary to install the table.
Remove the table switch from transport position inside the low machine cover and let
it hang freely on the cable at the back of barfeed.
Remove the right screw for table installation at the end distant from the lathe.
Disconnect table tray (4.4/3) from table frame (Loose 4 screws securing the top on the
frame at the bottom of the material tray and remove the top out by unscrewing the
central screw 4.4/1 for setting the position of the material tray.
Install the table frame by inserting the frame on left screw, insert the second screw
(right) and check, that the frame is roughly in center. If not, remove some spacers
under table fixing screws and finally tighten these screws.
Fix the table leg by expansion screw to the floor.
Install table tray 4.4/3 on the frame and center it in such way, that the claws will be in
center of the slots in table tray.
Check, if the table is parallel to the channel.
Last two items can be reach by correct setting 4 screws under table tray. At the end fix
these screws to allow free movement of table tray on table frame activated by screw
4.4/1.
Install the table cover using two screws on the side of it. Insert necessary number of
spacers to keep free movement up and down in grooves at basic barfeed body.
Install the table switch. SS2003 has switch completed with lever, which must be turn
from the barfeed body. SS2003 HD has switch on special mounting assembly. In all
cases check correct function of the switch. Opening the table cover must disconnect
PLC input 24. (Check it in manual mode, pushing Start, when this Input is displayed
on Output 14). To see the function of this switch, you must have the channel in
production position (not in the red field).

PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS

4.1.1

FOUNDATION, ALIGNMENT

The magazine barfeed must be carefully installed referring to the instructions in chapter 3.

4.1.2

SAFETY

The interface and the safety connections between the lathe and the magazine barfeed must be
correctly connected and systematically checked.
SMW declines all responsibilities if the interface wiring is not installed correctly (refer
to addendum 3)!

4.1.3

OPERATOR

A complete understanding of the lathe and magazine barfeed is essential for correct
functioning of the equipment and operator safety.

4.2

NORMAL (or STANDARD) PRODUCTION PROCEDURES

When changing bar stock (type, material, shape, size) a few adjustments of the magazine
barfeed and the lathe is required:
When changing the diameter of the bar stock:
1. Change spindle liners
2. Adjust correct height of channel (channel loader height)
3. Adjust loading bar tray position to separate 1 bar only
4. Change pusher
For large size bar stock:
1. Change pusher size
2. Adjust loading table angle
3. Adjust air pressure on the magazine barfeed
4. Adjust pusher speed
When you change the length of the part:
1. Adjust End of Bar switch B24, always place the front part of the bar in a position so that
the bar will actuate the switch B27 (material available)
When changing the clamping device type
1. Set the switch B25 (remnant ejection), with the end of the pusher 3-5 mm in front of the
chucking device.
2. Set the mechanical stop of the pusher so that the pusher doesnt go behind this point and
the switch B25 is activated.
3. Set switch B24. The position of B24 depends on position of B25 and length of the
machined part.
When changing diameter
1. If possible retract the pusher all the way from the lathe spindle.
2. If the pusher comes in contact with the spindle during machining set the PLC to retract the
pusher all the way.

4.3

GUIDING TECHNIQUE

The bar stock is guided into the lathe by a spindle liner. The inside diameter of the spindle
liner should be about 0.75 mm (0.030) larger than the diameter of the bar. This allows very
accurate guiding of the bar stock in the spindle, providing optimal speed and performance.
Spindle liner - made of a steel tube
Diameter
- spindle liner inside diameter = bar diameter + (min. 0.5 - max. 2.5)
mm
Concentricity
- spindle liner with spindle = 0.1 mm maximum (.004 inch)
Cone
- spindle liner max. 3 x 30
Straightness
- of pushed bar max. 0.5 mm/meter
Maximum clearance from the end of spindle liner to the back of the clamping device - 30 mm
(1.18 inch)
The bar diameter is much smaller than spindle inside diameter

The bar diameter is a little smaller than spindle inside diameter

BAR STOCK FEED

The pusher assembly feeds bar stock to the previously adjusted turret stop. The spindle must
not be rotating as the stock is being loaded.

4.5

INSTALLATION OR EXCHANGE OF A SPINDLE LINER


(WHEN CHANGING DIAMETER OF THE BAR STOCK)

It is the customers responsibility to ensure that spindle liners are available for the required
type and size of bar stock. The clearance between bar stock and spindle liner must be about
0.75 mm (0.030) (refer to chapter 4.3).
To install a spindle liner proceed as follows:
Raise the pusher to the top position (using the button on operators console in MANUAL
mode)
After opening of top cover loosen 2 locking screws 4.3/1 and lower the channel to the
lowest position by rotating handle 4.3/2 (off the scale 4.3/3 into the red field)
Remove the spindle liner from the lathe spindle
Install the new spindle liner into the spindle
Adjust channel height to suit the new bar stock diameter and tighten the locking screws
4.3/1.
WARNING
If the channel is out of permitted range of diameter (max. 80 mm), and the red
field on the scale 4.3/3 is displayed, operating the loading mechanism may cause
damage to the loading mechanism or other parts.

ADJUSTING THE BAR TRAY - When changing bar stock


diameter

To ensure proper selection of one bar at a time, the table must be correctly positioned for the
bar stock.
Using the button S7 on the operators console in MANUAL mode move the loading
mechanism up into a position so that the claws are just bellow the bar stock tray.
Put bars (minimum 2) on the tray
Loosen nut 4.4/1 of setting screw 4.4/2 and use this screw to set the tray 4.4/3 to a position
so that the claws separate first bar and do not push second bar away. Try bar loading
sequence in MANUAL mode.
Check if the side distance screws under the table are tightened. If necessary use these
screws to set the table to right position according to the claws. For round bars, 3 to 10
degrees tray angle is advised according to the bar stock diameter.
For hexagonal and square bars over 20 degrees angle is advised.
WARNING
When the bar is loading, the channel must be empty. No other bar or tool is
allowed to be in channel at the time of loading a new bar. This is to prevent
damage or personal injury that may result.

Fig. 4.4 - The tray (table) setting for correct bar separation
Note: Bar stock must be cut to a proper length so that the bar is still supported by the
channel when being loaded into the spindle. The minimal length of the bar is determined by
the distance between the end of the channel and the end of the spindle. The bars center of
gravity must be still in the channel, and the front of the bar already in the spindle liner to
prevent bar falling to floor or becoming lodged between spindle liner and channel during
reloading process.
Note: The lathe must be equipped with a spindle orientation to load hexagonal or square
bar stock. When machining square bar stock a 90 adapter must be placed on front of the
channel loader.

Settings
With relief valve (A) set pressure indicated on pressure gauge (B) to range from 1 bar for
light bars to max. 6 bar for heavy bars. This setting determines per application bar pushing
force. Too much pressure may cause damage to pusher mechanism or bar stock.
Set relief valve (C) pressure to 0.5 bar higher than the pressure setting on gauge (B).
Note: To guarantee correct function of the pneumatic components (especially speed of
movement) it is necessary to have an air flow rate of at least 17 to 20 liter/minute at the inlet
to the barfeed.
Maintenance
The air supply unit is equipped with a water trap (D), so check at least once a week or when
changing air pressure (changing size of bar stock.) Also check the tightness of the pneumatic
circuit and if the water trap bowl is empty.

ADJUSTING MOVEMENT SPEED

Setting is performed on the screws 4.6/E located on the solenoid valves in the magazine
barfeed.
Speed decreases when you turn the setscrews clockwise (use 4-mm hex key.)
Y22 Solenoid valve moves pusher forward.
Y23 Solenoid valve retracts pusher.
Speed should be set to the point, when the time of movement is:
a) movement of pusher forward 4.5 sec

S3

Operation mode selector switch


CHUCKING this allows the lathe to operate without magazine barfeed.
These conditions on the unit are necessary:
1. Main switch on the magazine barfeed is ON
2. Pusher is fully retracted (out of the spindle)
MANUAL
This allows to operate the unit manually. When the pusher is in the
highest or the lowest position the flag (pusher) can be operated forward or backward.
When the flag is fully back, the loading mechanism can move (the loading claws can
rotate) and at the same time the pusher raise or lower.
AUTO

This allows fully automatic barfeeding/machining cycle.

COUNT
This has the same function as AUTO but it stops the unit, when the
selected number of bars has been completed. To select the number of bars to be
machined, push the switch S9 forward (each push for one bar). If you select just
function COUNT the unit will stop when machining bar is completed. The count setting
is not dependent on the condition of lathe. When re-selecting AUTO mode, the counter
will be reset (the number on the bar counter will be reset).

Pusher up and down


Permits pusher up or down travel. You can select this operation, only when the
magazine barfeed is set in the manual mode and the flag is fully retracted.

S9

Pusher forward and backward


This allows the movement of the pusher or flag backward and forward depending on if
the pusher is in up or down position. This movement is operational only when the
magazine barfeed is set in the manual mode and the pusher is in limit up/down position.

S11 Pusher fully retracted


When the switch is in one of positions (I0,21 is active) the pusher will move fully back
(out of spindle), after it has pushed material and the material has been clamped. When
the switch is in the other position (I0,21 is not active), the pusher will move back about
50 mm from end of material after the material has been clamped.
Note 1: There are two reasons to use the full retraction of the pusher:
1. When there is vibration problem (magazine barfeed or pusher).
2. When there is danger of contact of the pusher with the spindle liner (when
using pusher and its outside diameter is close to inside diameter of the
spindle liner).
Note 2: It is recommended, to fully retract pusher out of the spindle.
S12 Reversing of the loading motor direction
Reversing of the motor is possible only in the manual mode and it is used if collision or
binding of loading device occurs. The switch is located on side of the electric box. If the
reversion is activated in auto mode an error is signaled. . This reverse movement can be
also used for changing spindle liners or testing channel position setup for huge bars. In
all this cases the table must be free.

ERROR SIGNALS AND MEANING OF LAMPS H14 AND H15

Lamps H14 (green) and H15 (red) are basic indicators of the magazine barfeed condition. If
the magazine barfeed is OK the green lamp is on. When an error occurs, the red lamp is on.
Basic rules:
If the red lamps is flashing fast (period 0.1 s) without stopping or with 1-sec intervals, the
magazine barfeed is in some error situation, refer to error signals on the next page. You
can stop this situation when you switch to manual mode.
If the red lamp is flashing slowly (period 1 s) the magazine barfeed is doing the start
sequence, or its signaling that the lathe is not ready for the automatic operation (signal
lathe in AUTO is missing), refer to Basic meaning of the lamps on the next page.
If the red lamp is ON all the time, the magazine barfeed correctly finished operation
because the set number of bars was machined or there is no material, refer to basic
meaning of the lamps on the next page. If the green lamp is flashing (period 1 s) and the
red lamp is not ON, the pusher is pushing forward (to working area of the lathe) or its
loading a bar, refer to Basic meaning of the lamps on the next page.
Motor reversal:
If the motor reversal (S12) is selected, the red and green lamps are
flashing alternately (period 1 s) in all modes.
Emergency stop:
If any of the emergency stop buttons is pressed, or the top cover of the
magazine barfeed is open an error is caused Emergency stop. But this also causes
disconnection of power supply to the part of PLC output. PLC so both the lamps are OFF.
After the top cover is closed, power is supplied again to the PLC outputs, and both lamps
being on indicate the error.
All errors of magazine barfeed are indicated by PLC output LEDs, when MD LED is
ON (O0.8, O0.9, O0.14 and O0.15; see next page).
Interruption of power supply:
This interruption in automatic mode will cause canceling
of the auto mode, when the supply returns, it will signal fault emergency stop. Any fault
condition (caused before power supply interruption) is preferred to emergency stop signal
caused by power supply interruption. So just turning the barfeed ON/OFF wont remove any
AUTO mode fault. You need to reset the barfeed, using the S3 mode selector switch by
switching it to MANUAL mode, to remove any fault.
Note: In MANUAL mode when the start button is pressed, adequate outputs O0.14 and
O0.15 to inputs I0.24 (input from tray hood switch) and I0.25 (input from K1R relay indication of loading mechanism rotation direction).

GETTING THE AUTO CYCLE STARTED AND STOPPED

a. Before starting work and turning the lathe ON check:


1. That pusher is fully back and down (out of spindle).
2. That magazine barfeed is connected with the air supply and its main switch is
turned ON.
3. That mode selector switch on magazine barfeed is in mode Chucking, which
allows independent work of the lathe.
b. Start the lathe and prepare the magazine barfeed for auto cycle.
1. After turning the lathe on, reach references and do all steps to start auto cycle. The
magazine barfeed when in Chucking mode wont influence your work. Clamp a
bar in the clamping device by hand, after you have done all preparation steps. Set
the requirement to pull the pusher out of the spindle using the switch S11.
2. Put the magazine barfeed into Auto mode and press Start button.
Operations:
a. Choose Auto mode using the switch S3.
Activate Start using button S5.
Spacesaver will now check position of material using the pusher. Green (H14) and red
(H15) lamp is flashing in 1-s intervals. If this process is successfully finished, some of
these conditions will stabilize.
1. Green lamp (H14) is ON.
Lathe and magazine barfeed are ready to machine.
2. Red lamp (H15) is flashing in 1-s intervals.
Lathe is not set in auto mode (input I0.11 is not activated)
Conditions necessary for lathe to start automatic operation of lathe and magazine
barfeed:
1. Collet/Chuck jaws are closed (input 10.3 is not activated)
2. Lathe in auto mode and magazine barfeed operation allowed.
3. Magazine barfeed is ON.
Conditions necessary for magazine barfeed to start automatic operation of lathe and
magazine barfeed:
1. Pusher is fully down and back (inputs I0.13 and I0.14 activated)
c. To start Automatic operation of lathe with magazine barfeed, start lathe Automatic
cycle.
d. Finish the combined operation of lathe and magazine barfeed as follows:
Choose the Count mode on magazine barfeed (with number of bars to be finished, if
necessary). After the set number of bars is finished, no more bars are loaded and
automatic operation of lathe will be stopped by alarm - both lamps (green and red) are
ON (not flashing). Then switch the magazine barfeed into Chucking mode and do all
finishing steps of the lathe alone. Do not turn the magazine barfeed off using the
main switch (this switch is just for service purposes).

INTERFACE

FROM THE LATHE TO THE MAGAZINE BARFEED


These signals on the lathe side are carried out by relay contacts or by switches. Signals are
supplied 24 VDC from the magazine barfeed.
Emergency (Total) stop on the lathe
pin 4 and 5 on X1 - input I0.00 on PLC indicates status.
Immediately stops magazine barfeed and lathe.
Lathe in AUTO mode
pin 11 on X1 - input I0.11 on PLC signals status.
Allows magazine barfeed to run in automatic mode. After the magazine barfeed is started, the
green lamp is ON (continuous). If signal from the lathe is not active, the green lamp is OFF
and the red lamp is flashing in 1-second intervals.
Signal activated
- lathe auto cycle
Signal not activated
- lathe manual cycle only
Note: This is a safety signal from the lathe, proper operation requires this signal at I0,11
prior to the receipt of I0,03 or the barfeed will fault. This signal can be accomplished though
either an AUTO output from the lathe, or (preferably) a Lathe door closed signal. This
input is allowed to drop out (opening lathe door) under the condition that the pusher is not
requested to perform forward motion, otherwise a fault will occur.
Clamping device open (collet)
Pin 12 on X1 - Input I0.03 on PLC signalizes status.
The signal to the magazine barfeed to feed bars.
Signal activated
- collet open
Signal not activated
- collet closed (the logic of this signal can be also reversed,
see input I0.22)
Note: When the collet is closed, the pusher stays 0.5 or 3 seconds under pressure.(See
4.10.9.)
Note: By choosing mode of the magazine barfeed, it is possible to complete the condition to
push with M-code (for signal collet open).

50

Chapter 4. Utilization
M-code
Pin 9 on X1 - Input I0.09 on PLC signals status.
It can be pulsing (after certain amount of time the signal vanishes without magazine barfeed
initiative) or latching which requires a finish signal provided by the barfeed to confirm end of
M-function. The latching signal is preferred. The lathe is programmed according to type of
M-code. In loading cycle the first M-code is used as a signal to eject remnant and load a new
bar into the spindle. A second occurrence of the same M-code is the order to push the new bar
to the lathe stop.

FROM MAGAZINE BARFEED TO THE LATHE


These signals are carried out by relay contacts on magazine barfeed side.
Signals are supplied 24 VDC from the lathe.
Emergency stop on the lathe
pin 21 and 22 on X1 - Immediately stops magazine barfeed and lathe.
Magazine barfeed OK
pin 14 on X1 - Output O0.07 on PLC
Safety signal from magazine barfeed informs lathe that magazine barfeed is OK and it is ready
for function.
Signal activated
- no errors on magazine barfeed
Signal not activated
- magazine barfeed signals error
Note: This signal is also activated when the main switch on magazine barfeed is ON,
magazine barfeed is in CHUCKING mode and pusher is fully back (I0.14 is activated). This
allows lathe function without using the magazine barfeed.
Note: This signal always reports an error when in MANUAL mode.

Chapter 4. Utilization
End of bar - EOB
Pin 16 on X1 - PLC output O0.10 signals status.
Signal activated
- end of bar reached
Signal not activated
- end of bar not reached (enough material to clamp)
This signal will be sent to the lathe during feeding cycle, when pusher passes proximity switch
B24 (end of bar) and is canceled on beginning of loading cycle. Position of proximity switch
B24 is set per application.
Setting proximity switch B24 during testing EOB before machining:
Set the pusher tip 3 - 5 mm in front of the lathe-chucking device and mark position of
flag activating the proximity switch. If the EOB is checked in NC program before
feeding, move the EOB proximity switch to distance that equals to length of the part
plus length of clamping device jaws in direction from the lathe. If normal NC program
is running (see chapter 4.10.5) and signal EOB is not sent, the bar is normally moved to
distance that equals to length of the part. If this movement activates the proximity
switch program for machining last piece is called. The lathe should check for END OF
BAR at the beginning of the program before it signals the barfeed to push out another
part.
Checking EOB signal - EOB after loading cycle for part production:
Move the EOB proximity switch to the marked position that is shorter of clamping
distance. If you pass this position while pushing bar, it will signal that there is not
enough material for next clamping. So the EOB test is made after machining.
Spindle inhibit
Pin 17 on X1 - Output O0.11 on PLC signals status.
Signal tells to lathe that it can start spindle rotation.
Signal is activated
- authorizes spindle rotation
Signal is not activated - forbids spindle rotation
Note: In CHUCKING mode, the signal is active if the flag is in rear position.
M-code finish
Pin 18 on X1 - Output O0.12 on PLC signals status.
M-code finished.
Signal is activated
- M-code canceled (finished)
Signal is not activated - M-code not canceled (finished)
Signals to the lathe that the M-code command has been satisfied...

LOADING MECHANISM REVERSE ROTATION

You can use this mode only on a barfeed equipped with the option of choosing the direction of
loader rotation.
You will use this mode just for special situation.. For example when adjusting the machine
and you may need to unload the bar from the channel back on the tray.
Steps
1.
Remove bar from the tray or secure them so the claws do not push them back during the
reverse rotation.
2.
Using the mode switch S3 choose Manual mode.
3.
Switch the rotation direction switch S12 on the electric box of the magazine barfeed (see
fig. 3.2).
The magazine barfeed signals the reverse movement of the loading mechanism with
the red and green lamps. The lamps will alternate, one on while the other lamp is off.
(see chapter 4.10.2)
4.
With any button S7 for vertical movement of the pusher unload the bar from the channel
on the tray.
If one button S7 does not work, the other one S7 will work.
5.
Now the claws are close to their down lower limit position. With maximum caution
continue moving the claws in the reversed direction until there are close to their upper
limit position. Here stop before the claws hit the bar we just unloaded.
6.
Using the switch S12 choose normal direction of rotation of loading mechanism.
The magazine barfeed signals normal movement of the loading mechanism using the
lamps. The flashing of the lamps stops (see point 3).
7.
If everything is all right press the button S7 for pusher movement down (not up) and
hold it until the claws stop in position under the tray.
The loading claws will move in normal direction under the tray and pusher will be in
its lower limit position. In this position the loading mechanism stops to react on
signals from button S7.
Note: Lever switches B20 and B21 are activated only when the loading mechanism rotates
in normal direction. When the loading mechanism rotates in reversed direction, these two
lever switches are not active.
WARNING
If free movement of the claws through the tray is not addressed (see point 1), you
risk damage to the loading mechanism. Damage caused by not following the steps
on this page (chapter 4.11) is not covered under warranty.

METHODS HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT


PUSHER/CHANNEL

Pusher drifting backward or forward/ Flag is not stopping immediately after forwardbackward button is released.
The solenoid valve does not work correctly.
Check guiding of flag carrier on horizontal pneumatic cylinder.
When checking solenoid valve first check if its electrical control works (lights PLC output
and valve solenoid is operated). If you identify the fault to be in the electrical part of the valve,
it is necessary to change this valve. If the electrical part is OK, check the mechanical part.
First remove electrical connector and try to control the valve by hand (manual over-ride
yellow control button). If the valve does not move, remove the inlet hose and spray lubricant
into the valve (for example WD. 40). If the function does not get any better its necessary to
change the valve.

88

Addendum 6
The pusher is moving slowly
First check the air pressure which must be set according to the size of the bar (2 5 bars). You
should also check the airflow that is adjustable by screw on the outlet of the solenoid valves.
Cause of the problem can be also partially blocked silencer (exhaust muffler) of the solenoid
valve. You can remove the valve and clean in degreasing agent. If you have very dirty air you
can see plenty of sediment in the supply hoses. The sediment may not cause immediate
problem, but it can later cause blockages throughout the system.
Pusher moves in the opposite direction when collet opens or closes
It is necessary to change logic of input I0.03, see chapter 4.10.9.
Pusher vibration
Magazine barfeed may not be aligned with the lathe spindle center (see Installation). Remove
the vibration by retracting pusher fully out of the spindle before machining part. To retract the
pusher out of the spindle put the switch S11 (located under operators panel) in position when
input 21 on PLC is active. The cause of the vibration can also be worn-out bearings of the
pusher, the front carrier or bent bar of the pusher. 6 mm pusher is necessary to pull fully out
of the spindle after any pushing of bar. Use the largest diameter pusher when possible and
optimal working pressure.

PROBLEMS

The magazine barfeed signals no material although the bar was loaded
Loaded bar must activate signal of proximity switch B27. Bars must be placed on the tray so
they will activate the proximity switch on the claw. The metal strip that activates the
proximity switch, must freely movable and it must activate the switch. If the switch does not
activate, check if the sensing distance between the switch and the metal strip is 1 mm, if
