• When, in case of specific repair works, the unit must be ready for operation, special
care is required. Ensure that there are no persons staying within the danger area.

• Safety devices removed for repair or maintenance purposes have to be remounted


after completion of the works immediately.

• Only use clean oils as recommended in section 1.3 of these Operating Instructions.

0.3 Intended Use


The loading magazine is determined for assembly with machine tools and exclusively
serves to supply automatic lathes with round, square or hexagonal bar and tube shaped
materials. The commissioning is forbidden until it has been ascertained that the unit is in
accordance with the EG directives.
Material diameters should be in accordance with the "Technical Data" section.
Furthermore, the intended use emerges from the technical data as well as the requirements
in terms of oil filling and material bars, especially their straightness (see section 1.4).
When the requirements as specified by the manufacturer are met, the loading magazine will
work below the maximum permissible noise level. Any application going beyond should be
deemed as not being in accordance with the intended use. Manufacturer shall not be liable
for any damages resulting therefrom; the risk shall solely be borne by user.
The loading magazine shall only be used in dry rooms having a temperature between +15 ºC
and +40 ºC and a humidity of 30 % to 75 % (non-condensing).
Altitude must not exceed 1000 meters above sea level.
Intended use also includes the observance of the operating, maintenance and overhaul
conditions as specified by manufacturer.
The loading magazine shall not be used by any other persons than those being acquainted
therewith and taught in its inherent dangers. The relevant regulations for the prevention of
accidents as well as all other commonly recognized safety rules should be observed. Any
unauthorized loading magazine modification shall exempt the manufacturer from any and all
liabilities for damages resulting therefrom.

0.6 Safety Measures


The flawless and safe operation of the loading magazine presupposes proper transport,
professional installation and commissioning as well as careful operation and maintenance.

Read and carefully observe these Operating Instructions before


commissioning the loading magazine!

The loading magazine is constructed in compliance with the state of the art and safe for
operation. Danger, however, may emanate from the loading magazine, if it is improperly
used by untrained personnel or for unintended improper applications.

The loading magazine shall only be used, maintained and


repaired by persons being familiar with these Operating
Instructions and the applicable regulations on work safety and
accident prevention.

Non-observance of the following items may result in physical injuries or material damages.
Therefore, it should be ensured that the operators read and follow these Operating
Instructions.

For loading magazine manufacture and documentation preparation, the following


regulations were taken into account:

EC-Council Directive on Machines (98/37/EC)

DIN EN ISO 12100

DIN-EN 60204

DIN EN 62709

In case of deliveries within the EU, the loading magazine is "CE" marked. Besides, the "EC
Conformity Declaration" is attached.

Attention: We would like to point out that the operator of the unit must guarantee the CE
conformity if any components are changed essentially.

0.7 Safety Devices


0.7.1 Covers

Following the applicable regulations, the loading magazine is secured by means of covers
that prevent moving parts from being reached. The cover above the lateral material
storage is monitored via a positively actuated and forcibly opening switch with safety
function.

In automatic operation step 14, it is possible to open the cover for bar reload through the
lateral material storage without any endangering.

Via the –S74 switch with safety function and the –K20 contactor, the voltage supply for the
solenoid valves and the –K3 contactor (motor return) is disconnected except for the valves
-MVY1.1 (to close guide channel) and -MVY7 (steady rest), which are kept triggered in
order to ensure continued safe working of the bar being in the guide channel.

Should the cover not be closed again and a bar change initiated, error message 4 will
appear.

When opening the cover at the magazine’s end (monitored via the –S72 switch), no
function will be possible. Error message 0 is displayed then.
Automatic operation will be switched off.

If, in manual mode, the cover is open, no solenoid valve can be triggered in order to allow
any movement to be made. The feed bar cannot be moved either.

When making conversion work, strictly observe the sequence of


works as specified in the Operating Instructions!

Before opening the cover (except for material bar follow-up in


program step 14), press EMERGENCY STOP key and close the
compressed air shut-off valve at the loading magazine to
ventilate the unit.

During loading magazine operation, covers of any kind


(protective hoods, etc.) must neither be dismantled nor put out of
operation. This also applies to any and all non-electrically
monitored and firmly screwed cover parts.

0.7.2 Guide Tube/Telescopic Tube between Loading Magazine and Autolathe

0.7.2.1 Autolathe with Movable Spindle Stock

The guide tube/telescopic tube bridges the distance between the loading magazine’s front
end and the spindle end of the autolathe. It serves as a protective cover and prevents
rotating parts from being ejected.

Before commissioning, the specified guide tube/telescopic tube shall


be mounted in between the autolathe spindle and the loading
magazine. During loading magazine operation, the guide
tube/telescopic tube must be present.

Movable spindle stock autolathes must not be operated without


telescopic tubes or fixed spindle-reducing elements projecting
from the loading magazine into the spindle of the autolathe.

Assemble the telescopic tube as described in the drawing


Attention! enclosed. This drawing can be requested from FMB by stating the
respective order number.

The inner diameter of the guide tube/telescopic tube depends on the feed bar built-in.

Fixed Spindle Reducing Element:

Should assembly of a telescopic tube be impossible, the autolathe can be operated with a
fixed spindle-reducing element. To this effect, the guide tube of the loading magazine as
contained in the conversion kit is slid into the spindle. Thus, maximum possible bar
diameter is restricted.
The following should be noted:
• The guide tube’s outer diameter must be 1 to 2 mm smaller than the spindle’s
inner diameter.
• Guide tube length must be specified such that it bridges the gap between loading
magazine and spindle, whilst excluding any potential spindle destruction.
• The guide tube’s inner diameter must be 2 mm bigger than the diameter of the
feed bar built-in.
• The smallest wallthickness of the guide tube should be 2 mm at least.

Page 10 Edition 01/01 Operating Instructions


mini-turbo
0.7.2.2 Autolathe with Fixed Spindle Stock

The guide tube bridges the distance between the loading magazine’s front end and the
spindle end of the autolathe. It serves as a protective cover and prevents rotating parts
from being ejected.

Before commissioning, the specified guide tube shall be mounted


in between the autolathe spindle and the loading magazine. During
loading magazine operation, the guide tube must be present.

The guide tube’s inner diameter depends on the feed bar built-in. When installing the
loading magazine, the guide tube’s length must be taken into account (see sect. 6.7.4.2).
It shall be specified such that there is a distance of 5 mm at max. between the end of the
autolathe spindle and the front end of the guide tube or such that the tube projects into the
autolathe spindle. This gap must not be within operator’s reach!

Operating Instructions Edition 01/01 Page 11


mini-turbo
0.7.3 EMERGENCY STOP Device

As required in VDE 0113, the loading magazine is fitted with an EMERGENCY STOP
device. When pressing the –S69 EMERGENCY STOP key on the control panel, the 24 V-
direct voltage supply for all PLC outputs is disconnected. The contactors -K20 and -K21
are switched off as well. Via -K21, the voltage supply for the power pack that supplies the
voltage for the drive motor is disconnected. Consequently, the motor, and thus the feed
bar, are incapable of moving any longer.
On the control panel, the following message appears:

EMERGENCY STOP

Through the second switching element of the EMERGENCY STOP key, this
EMERGENCY STOP message is also communicated to the autolathe, where it must be
processed in accordance with the regulations.

When an EMERGENCY STOP is actuated at the autolathe, the loading magazine’s control
system must be switched off as well.

0.7.4 Automatic Lathe Protective Hoods

When there is a "protective hood closed" contact available from the autolathe, the voltage
supply for the -N3 amplifier module, which triggers the -KY1 clutch, will be disconnected.
As a result, the feed bar cannot be moved with the material bar any longer.
Hence, in case of a non-closed protective hood, any endangering by the material bar of
persons staying within the autolathe’s working space is safely excluded.

1.2 Electrical Connection between Loading Magazine and


Automatic Lathe
Detailed data on the electrical connections and voltage supply of the loading magazine are
given in the electrical documentation. The electrical connections have to be made by an
authorized and qualified electrician with due regard to the VDE and local regulations, and,
in particular, to the applicable protective measures.

1.3 Oil Filling


For oil filling, oils following
DIN 51 517 – 2 CL 150
DIN 51 506 VBL 150
DIN 51 519 ISO VG 150, are prescribed.

We recommend the following oil brands:

1.4 Requirements on Material Bars and their Preparation


The speed that can be achieved with the material bar depends on its geometric material
accuracy.

Non-straight bars strongly affect the achievable speeds.

With raising diameters, the negative impact of non-straightness increases. Apart from
straightness, out-of-round shaped and unbalanced bars affect the achievable speed.
Non-straightness should not exceed a tolerance of 0.5 mm/m.
The expression "mm per m" refers to a steady curvature over a measuring path of 1 m, but
in no case to a short bend within one meter.

dial gauge
measuring spots turned by 90°

• For automatic material bar insertion into the spindle and collet of autolathe, the bar’s
front must be without any burr. This is necessary, as the collet opens for a few
millimeters only.

• The bar’s end must not be bent or deformed as a result of cutting work.

• Bars must not be soiled by chips, sand or similar materials.

• Because of their automatic insertion into the collet, square or hexagonal bars must not
have any circumferential chamfer, but a plain end face instead that has been sawn,
turned on a lathe or sheared cleanly.

Operating Instructions Edition 01/01 Page 15


mini-turbo
In case of bar ends with orbicular cross sections, pointing or chamfering is not required in
general, as the bar is lifted by the gripper up to feed bar center level and, through the
clamping sleeve’s insertion taper, safely pressed into it.
When the material bar’s diameter comes close to that of the feed bar and the thin-walled
clamping sleeve, as a result thereof, has no more insertion taper, bar end chamfering or
pointing is recommended.

3.2 Ground Structure


The autolathe data are given in the machine documentation. The building, in which the
loading magazine is intended to be installed, should be laid out for the loads occurring.
The possible weight and operational loads as caused by the loading magazine in
conjunction with the autolathe must have been taken into account. When ready for
operation, the loading magazine’s weight is as follows:
• mini-turbo loaded with ∅25 / 3200 long weight approx. 1020 kg
• mini-turbo loaded with ∅25 / 3700 long weight approx. 1200 kg
• mini-turbo loaded with ∅25 / 4200 long weight approx. 1360 kg
The building should be suitable for installing the unit. In case of doubt, a specialist should
be consulted. Leads of any kind (power, water and others) must not be laid under the
loading magazine.

3.3 Loading Magazine Alignment


The loading magazine should be installed such that the centerline of the autolathe spindle
is in exact alignment with the centerline of the feed bar. In case of an incorrect alignment,
problems in relation to the loading magazine’s functioning will emerge (feed bar seizure in
the spindle; heavy vibrations, damage to the autolathe spindle).

The following works should be done:


1. Lift the loading magazine from the pallet (see sect.2).
2. Align the loading magazine’s center roughly in lateral direction.
3. Height can be adjusted with a M 20 threaded spindle that is available on every support.
To this effect, the M 10 bolt located at the clamping flanges needs to be loosened and,
in accordance with the reachable height, tightened again.
Unevennesses in the ground can be compensated by means of 4 M 16x60 set screws
per support each. The sets crews must rest in the footplates enclosed in the delivery.
4. Installation of the conversion kit as specified for the loading magazine.

3.4 Fixing on the Ground


After its alignment to the autolathe spindle (sect. 3.3), the loading magazine must be fixed
at the intended positions on the ground by using 4 M 16 anchor bolts (recommendation:
UPAT-UKA6-16).

Attention! The fixing elements are not included in the scope of delivery.

To this effect, insert the dowels into the ground and mount the loading magazine with the
anchor bolts therein.
Unevennesses in the ground can be compensated by means of M 16x60 threaded bolts
(4x per support).
Should other fixing methods be applied, the same effect as described above shall be
ensured.

Dowels must not damage carrying parts of building constructions


and other facilities!

Before drilling the dowel holes, check the ground for the
presence of supply leads (power cables, water, gas leads, etc.).
Such cables or leads must not be drilled into. Consult a
specialist, if necessary.

3.5 Compressed Air Supply


Compressed air supply is made via a 1/4" hose nozzle at the maintenance unit of the
loading magazine. A shut-off valve must be installed before the loading magazine.
The compressed air supply should meet the following parameters:

• Pressure: 0.6 MPa – 1,0 MPa


• Air consumption: approx. 6 liters per loading process each
approx. 0.5 liters per steady rest double stroke each

The air must be dry and filtered.

The supply lead must be laid such that no persons or materials


are exposed to danger.

3.6 Electrical Connections


The electrical connection between magazine and autolathe is shown on sheet 3 (interface)
of the electrical documentation attached hereto. Plug assignment and operating voltage
are determined by the autolathe and already preset by the factory accordingly. Following
VDE 0113, the continuous operating voltage must be within 100 % ± 10 % of the rated
voltage, and frequency within 0.99 and 1.01 of the rated frequency.

Check the interface in accordance with the electrical


Attention!
documentation and the explanations given in sect. 4 of these
Operating Instructions.

After having prepared the autolathe for loading magazine mount and completed the
electrical connection, the oil pump’s direction of rotation should be tested.

The oil pump must rotate into the direction of the arrow available
Attention! on the ventilator’s cap. Should the pump rotate into wrong
direction, no oil will be pumped into the guide channel.
Reconnecting two wires of the connection line can change the
direction of rotation. Before reconnecting, turn main switch at
automatic lathe OFF!

Before first commissioning, checking the EMERGENCY STOP


Attention!
device and the electrically monitored cover for functionability is
imperative (see sect. 0.7.1 and 0.7.3)!

3.7 Avoidance of Dangerous Narrow Spaces


The loading magazine must be installed such that it can be accessed at any time from all
sides for maintenance, repair and other works. All control elements must be accessible
and operationable without any difficulty.
It must be possible to open the switch cabinet at any time. Be careful of machines or
aggregates installed in close vicinity. During any work at the loading magazine, no persons
or material assets must be endangered!

3.8 Repairs at the Automatic Lathe


If larger repairs at the autolathe are to be done in the quality required and without
endangering persons and material assets, enough space should be provided beforehand.
This means that, where appropriate, the loading magazine needs to be removed from its
place. In such regard, always observe the transport and installation instructions (sect. 2
and 3)!

Operating Instructions Edition 01/01 Page 23


mini-turbo

3.9 Feed Bar Front Stop


Prior to loading magazine commissioning, the feed bar’s stroke to the front must be limited
in order to prevent the feed bar from reaching into the working space of the autolathe. The
feed bar may be clamped or put into rotary motion or collide tools and moved machine
parts, thus causing damages to the loading magazine and the autolathe.

For feed bar stroke limitation, a stop square, after fixation and alignment, is to be mounted
before the loading magazine’s feed bar flag.

Here, the following works are to be done:


(see illustration on next page)

1. Switch loading magazine into manual mode.

2. Open guide channel.

3. Press EMERGENCY STOP key and close compressed air shut-off valve at the
magazine in order to vent the unit.

4. Open cover.

5. Remove present material from guide channel.

6. By using the crank, the feed bar is moved as deep into the spindle of the autolathe as
allowing the clamping sleeve to push against the autolathe’s collet. Pull feed bar back
by approx. 5 mm (safety distance) then (in case of long turning autolathes, the spindle
stock should be fully pulled up).

7. Loosen stop square and mount it before the aligned feed bar flag.

Standard switch-on is adapted in an autolathe-specific manner.
Attention!
For relay and contact designations as well as plug pin
assignment, see electric circuit diagram, please.

4.1 Contacts from the Autolathe to the FMB Loading Magazine


• Clamping device open:
This contact switches the loading magazine’s feed device on.
• Cycle end, bar change start:
In autolathes having program jump functions, contact should be available in the bar
start program after "collet open".
If there is no autolathe program jump possible, contact will be given after every
workpiece machining when clamping device is open. After such contact, the loading
magazine initiates a bar change automatically after bar end identification.
• Autolathe ready for operation or automatic operation release:
When this contact is available, the loading magazine can be switched into automatic
operation.
• Autolathe EMERGENCY STOP:
Potential-free autolathe contact. This contact is integrated into the EMERGENCY
STOP circuit of the magazine.

4.2 Contacts from the FMB Loading Magazine to the Autolathe


• No loading magazine fault (-K30):
In case of no fault presence, the contact is closed. In case of fault, the contact is
opened. When fault message is given, the spindle of the autolathe must not be capable
of rotating.
• Bar change end, program start (-K1):
Depending on the type of autolathe control, the magazine can output this contact as a
pulse or a permanent contact. It signalizes the autolathe that the bar is slid into the
autolathe or it serves as release for read-in, program start.
• Bar change start or program stop (-K9):
Depending on the type of autolathe, the magazine can output this contact as an
opening or a closing contact. Contact is made during machining of the last workpiece
or after completion of such machining. It signalizes the autolathe that material bar
machining is completed.
• Loading Magazine EMERGENCY STOP:
Potential-free contact from magazine. This contact should be integrated into the
autolathe’s EMERGENCY STOP circuit as well.

5. Loading Magazine Commissioning


5.1 Commissioning Prerequisites
The loading magazine must comply with the original condition as delivered by
manufacturer. All parts needed for its operation have to be mounted properly.
Missing safety-relevant parts shall be mounted prior to switch-on.
Special attention should be paid to safety switches and the transition zone between
autolathe and loading magazine (guide tube/telescopic tube). If you have any doubt in this
respect, contact loading magazine manufacturer, please.

Attention! It is purposeful to have commissioning done by the loading


manufacturer’s service team.

5.1.1 Fixing the Loading Magazine, Working According to Installation Plan

Before commissioning, the loading magazine should be installed and fixed in accordance
with sect. 3.

5.1.2 Connection with the Automatic Lathe

The loading magazine’s alignment and distance from the autolathe (see sect. 3) should be
checked. The electrical connecting cable must be connected properly (see sect. 3.6).

5.1.3 Supply Media

Compressed air supply must be ensured (see sect. 1). Prior to commissioning, the
compressed air system of the loading magazine should be checked for leakage (suds fits
for that purpose). No pressure decrease should occur.
At the maintenance unit (see sect. 9), a pressure of 0.6 MPa should be set. When
pressure decreases below 0.4 MPa, the –S11 pressure switch puts the control system into
fault state.

5.1.4 Oil Filling

Prior to commissioning, the oil reservoir needs to be filled with 80 liters of any of the oil
brands mentioned in sect. 1.3. Before fill-in, the oil reservoir should be checked for
leakage. The built-in oil hoses and leads must neither be bent nor clogged. Oil flow must
not be impaired. The return leads must be laid at steep declivity. Prior to commissioning,
the oil pump should be subjected to a test run (30 minutes), during which the following
items are to be checked:
• Running direction of the oil pump (reconnect electrically in accordance with sect. 3.6, if
necessary);
• Oil flow-through of the guide channel (must be fully flown through after a short time);
• Tightness of the loading magazine, especially during feed bar run forward and return,
when the guide channel is full of oil;
• Oil return flow to the oil reservoir.

6.4 Steady Rest


The steady rest is fitted with replaceable guide jaws.
These guide jaws have to be inserted into the steady rest in compliance with the material
bar diameter. Upon feed bar insertion, the diameter of which is mostly bigger than that of
the material bar, the steady rest opens.

In closed position, the guide jaws are pressed together.


The opened position of the steady rest should be set such that the feed bar may pass
whilst still receiving little guidance from the guide jaws. For that purpose, the setting screw
(illustration) is available.

Changing the Guide Jaws

The steady rest’s guide jaws have to be matched with the material diameter. Selection
should be made such that the jaw diameter does not exceed the autolathe spindle’s
diameter. However, it should be 1 to 2 mm bigger than the diameter of the material to be
machined.
For changing the jaws, loosen the hexagonal nuts at the clamping blocks.
Polyamide-made guide jaws are available in the sizes listed below:

Guide Jaws Ident No. Material Diameters

6.5 Gripper - Function and Mode of Operation


By means of the gripper it is possible to slide the swung-in material bar, before machining,
into the clamping sleeve of the feed bar and to remove the remnant therefrom.
The gripper is actuated via a pneumatic cylinder.
The closing motion is made through a system of levers and the bars are raised to the
center of the spindle automatically.
For draw-up, the material bar, or, in case of draw-off, the remnant, is transported into the
gripping position between the gripper blades. Then the gripper is closed and the feed bar’s
clamping sleeve is slid, by means of the main drive, on to the material bar for draw-up and,
for draw-off, pulled from the remnant.

6.6 Lateral Material Storage


In the lateral material storage, the material bars are stocked up and separated for bar
change. The separation device consists of ejectors and stops, which are distributed over
the bar’s length.
By using the star grip, it should be set to the material diameter desired. In order to prevent
the material bars from rolling over each other, the holding-down clamps shall be positioned
such that they are resting 1.5 mm above the upper bar edge.

6.6.1 Setting the Material Diameter

For material separation, the stop, by turning the star grip, can be adjusted to the material
diameter to be machined minus 1 mm.

Page 44 Edition 01/01 Operating Instructions


mini-turbo

6.7 Guide Channel


To cushion the vibrations as they are occurring during the turning process, the guide
channel is oil-flooded. The feed bar with rotatable clamping sleeve, which is mounted on
the material bar’s end, supports this effect.
Depending on straightness, material bars can be machined without channel change.

6.7.1 Feed Bar

The feed bar enables the bar end to be led behind the autolathe’s collet. At the front of the
feed bar, there is a bearing insert where the clamping sleeve, which is to be changed
depending on material, is mounted with a bolt.
At its rear end, the feed bar is linked with the carriage of the chain drive via the flag.
Feed bar diameter: D25.
If the spindle diameter of the autolathe is smaller than D25, an offset feed bar is used.
Feed bar diameters: D25/22; D25/20; D25/18; D25/15; D25/12; D25/10; D25/7

6.7.2 Clamping Sleeves/Clamping Spindles - Functions and Applications

At the loading magazine, clamping sleeves (1) or clamping spindles (2) are needed to
guide the bar end.
The clamping sleeves and clamping spindles are mounted at the rotatable bearing insert
with latching bolts. (In case of the D7 feed bar, the clamping sleeve is screwed in by
means of thread.

6.7.2.1 Working with Clamping Sleeve

For hexagonal and square materials, especially when brass and light-metal profiles are to
be machined, clamping sleeves with punched-in octagonal or bihexagonal sockets should
be used.
The clamping sleeve’s outer diameter must correspond to the feed bar’s diameter.
If the guide tube/telescopic tube is to be used up to full passage, then the ends of the
material bars, for reception in the clamping sleeve, have to be turned off.

6.7.3 Guide Tube/Telescopic Tube between Loading Magazine and Autolathe

6.7.3.1 Autolathe with Movable Spindle Stock

The guide tube/telescopic tube bridges the distance between the front end of the loading
magazine and the autolathe’s spindle end. It serves as protective cover and prevents
rotating parts from being ejected.

Before commissioning, the specified guide tube/telescopic tube shall


be mounted between autolathe spindle and loading magazine. During
loading magazine operation, the guide tube/telescopic tube must be
present.

Autolathes with movable spindle stocks must not be operated


without telescopic tubes or fixed spindle reductions projecting
from the loading magazine into the spindle of the autolathe.

Mount the telescopic tube in accordance with the drawing


Attention! enclosed. By stating the respective order number, this drawing
can be requested from FMB.

The inner diameter of the guide tube/telescopic tube depends on the feed bar built-in.

Fixed Spindle Reduction:

Should mounting of a telescopic tube be impossible, the autolathe can be operated with a
fixed spindle reduction. For that purpose, the loading magazine guide tube contained in
the conversion kit is slid into the spindle. Hence, the maximum possible bar diameter is
limited.
The following should be noted:
• The guide tube’s outer diameter must be 1 to 2 mm smaller than the spindle’s
inner diameter.
• The length of the guide tube should be fixed such that it bridges the gap
between loading magazine and spindle, whilst excluding any spindle
destruction.
• The guide tube’s inner diameter must be 2 mm bigger than the diameter of the
feed bar built-in.
• The smallest wallthickness of the guide tube should be 2 mm at least.

6.7.3.2 Autolathe with Fixed Spindle Stock

The guide tube bridges the distance between the front end of the loading magazine and
the autolathe’s spindle end. It serves as protective cover and prevents rotating parts from
being ejected.

Before commissioning, the specified guide tube shall be mounted


between autolathe spindle and loading magazine. During loading
magazine operation, the guide tube must be present.

The guide tube’s inner diameter depends on the feed bar built-in. When installing the
loading magazine, the length of the guide tube must be taken into account (see sect.
6.7.4.2). It should be fixed such that there is a gap of 5 mm at maximum between the end
of the autolathe spindle and the guide tube’s front end or such that the guide tube projects
into the autolathe spindle. This gap must not be within operator’s reach!

6.7.4 Magazine Conversion

Unit must be free of any pressure and tension!

Upon delivery, the loading magazine’s guide channel diameter is 25 mm. By using the
conversion kits, this diameter can be reduced to smaller passages.
To this effect, the following operations are required:
• feed bar replacement
• replacement of the guide tube/reduction in the telescopic tube

6.7.4.2 Guide Tube Replacement

Unit must be free of any pressure and tension!

Attention! Also see section 6.7.3.

In the transition zone between the steady rest and the autolathe spindle, a guide tube is
inserted. Depending on the type of conversion kit, this tube may project as a fixed spindle
reduction into the spindle or end just before the spindle (5 mm).
In case of autolathes with movable spindle stock, the guide tube must project into the
spindle or an adequate telescopic tube be used. Guide tube length and outer diameter must
be adjusted to the dimensions of the spindle.

How to replace the guide tube:

1. Switch the magazine into manual mode, open autolathe collet and move feed bar into
its rear limit position.
2. Draw off material, if any, and remove it from guide channel.
3. Press EMERGENCY STOP key and close compressed air shut-off valve in order to vent
the unit.
4. Demount cover at the discharge container.

6.8 Oil Supply


The volume of the inflowing oil can be regulated with the shut-off valve that is mounted at
the submerged pump. The oil should be supplied in the absolutely necessary volume only.
For correct oil volume setting, the shut-off valve is turned roughly into “zero” position and
then opened until smooth running is ensured.

Refill oil only when loading magazine is switched off and after a
waiting time of 1 hour!

For smooth running of the loading magazine, oil viscosity is decisive, too (see Technical
Data).

Depending on the material bars’ degree of soiling, the oil

7. Functional Description
7.1 Mode of Operation
The magazine is loaded from the lateral storage through the bar separation to the opened
guide channel, which will close after material bar fall-in.

Feed bar moves ahead, whilst the gripper is closed and the material bar pressed into the
feed bar’s clamping sleeve. (For inner tube clamping, clamping spindles are used.)

First insert starts. The bar front actuates the switch (-S7) that switches the insertion control
on.
After completion of the measuring path (-S3 to -S4), a signal is transmitted to the
autolathe. Then, machining begins.

The oil-filled guide channel and the steady rest being inserted in between autolathe and
guide channel ensure precise bar guide, as it is required for machining. The bearing
inserts integrated into the feed bar allow for working at high speeds.
The guide tube/telescopic tube mounted on the magazine’s front part additionally acts as a
spindle reduction. The loading magazine works in the cycle of the autolathe. After
production of the least possible workpiece, the autolathe’s workflow will be stopped with
the clamping device being open. To remove the remnant, the feed bar, at first, moves back
up to gripper’s range. If no remnant was fed, an error message will be released and the
unit switched off. After return of the feed bar into its rear limit position, another remnant
fall-out check is made by means of the gripper and switch –S13. If no error message is
given, the guide channel opens for bar take-up.
Workflow starts again.
Should, in automatic operation, a fault occur, workflow would be interrupted (blue signal
lamp –H1 off). The fault message is communicated to the autolathe. Relay –K30 is
released and the blue signal lamp –H3 lights.
The current switch cabinet display goes off, whilst a number appears which an error
message is allocated to (see sect. 7.3). When the fault was removed and the error
message acknowledged by pressing the –S62 key, the current switching step will be
indicated again. Now, automatic workflow can be restarted.

In case of EMERGENCY STOP a "0" will be displayed.


During bar machining, the steady rest is switched on (-S63 in position "1" on the control
panel) and automatically opened upon reaching the –S19 switch (just before the clamping
sleeve). Should, due to material, the steady rest not be needed any more, position "0" on
the control panel has to be switched on.

The following devices, in terms of program flow, are not dealt with since they are of
no significance for it:
Oil Pump -M2
The oil pump cannot be turned on, unless the guide channel is closed.
In manual mode, turn switch -S50 on.
In automatic operation, the oil pump is turned on independently from the position of the
–S50 switch in the switching steps 11 to 16.

Steady Rest -MVY7


The steady rest is activated in automatic operation of steps 10 to16, when switch –S63 is
switched on.
If, within switching steps 10 to 16, switch –S19 is overrun, the steady rest will be opened
and remain open until switching step 10 is reached again.

Gripper Function -S30 (Additional Function)


When switch -S30 is activated, automatic operation runs as described above, however,
without gripper function. The remnant must be removed by the autolathe (in order to
ensure that a new material bar has fallen in, the gripper is to be actuated once).

Synchronized Clutch -KY6


When mounting the loading magazine to the autolathe, the synchronized clutch is built-in.
It transmits, through a chain, the spindle stock move to the feed chain and thus to both the
feed bar and material bar.
The synchronized clutch is switched on when the "collet open" input does not apply.

9.2 Feed Clutch -KY1 - Function and Maintenance


Feed clutch -KY1, laid out as a rigid electromagnetic clutch, transmits the motion from the
feed motor -M1 to the feed chain drive. It delimits the torque to be transmitted, i.e. feed
force is switched on by means of a signal coming from the autolathe when the clamping
device is open.

The feed force of the clutch depends on the direct voltage applied and can be set via the
potentiometer –R1 on control panel 1 and potentiometer –R2 on control panel 2.

The feed force required for moving forward in case of open autolathe collet is set via
potentiometer -R1.
At first insert, feed force is set via potentiometer –R2.

Check, in certain intervals, that air gap "a" = 0.2 mm.


After longer time of operation, air gap readjustment by removing spacers will be required.
