• Promptly notify the responsible persons of any safety affecting changes that may have
occurred at the loading magazine.
• During a running program, do not switch off the loading magazine via main switch.
Such switch-off may lead to damages.
• Do not press the EMERGENCY STOP key, unless persons or the unit are exposed to
danger (and prior to the commencement of maintenance and repair works).
• When transporting, be careful that the loading magazine is safely secured and provided
with sufficient stability (see section 2 of these Operating Instructions).
• Install the loading magazine such that the centerline of the autolathe spindle is
precisely in alignment with the feed bar’s centerline (see section 3 of these Operating
Instructions).
• Before commissioning, check the electric interface and operating voltage (see section 4
of these Operating Instructions).
• Before commissioning, fill in 80 liters of any of the oil brand recommended in section 1.3
of these Operating Instructions.
• Speed limitations (vibrations, noise) arising from workpiece dimensions and non-straight
material bars, should be taken into account.
ATTENTION!

• For all works on the loading magazine, especially in case of opened covers, press the
EMERGENCY STOP key and close the compressed air shut-off valve at the loading
magazine.
For maintenance or repair works, the main switch of the automatic lathe must be OFF.
The unit should be free of any pressure and tension.
• When doing repair work on electric devices, the relevant regulations (VDE 0113,
DIN VDE 0160; DIN VDE 0660; Rules for the Prevention of Accidents as issued by
employers’ liability insurance associations) should be observed.
• 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.
• Only use clean oils as recommended in section 1.3 of these Operating Instructions.
This symbol you will find at all work safety notes made in these
Operating Instructions, where danger to the lives and limbs of
persons is given. Mind these notes and be careful in such cases!
Without our written approval, they must not be copied, duplicated or transferred or made
available to third parties.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The inner diameter of the guide tube/telescopic tube depends on the feed bar built-in.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Power consumption: 1 KW
Storage conditions:
The loading magazine shall only be stored in dry rooms having an ambient temperature
between –20 ºC and +65 ºC.
Operating voltage:
400 V/50 Hz (standard version/200 V, when ordered)
As specified in VDE 0113, the continuous operating voltage must range within 100 % ± 10 %
of the mains voltage. Frequency must be within 0.99 up to 1.01 of the rated frequency.
Compressed air supply: min. 0.6 MPa (6 bar) max. 1,0 MPa (10 bar)

Note:
When machining polygonal materials, results can be improved by using oil with a
viscosity of 220 cSt at +40 °C. Oil exchange intervals depend on the degree of
soiling. The legal specifications governing waste oil disposal shall be observed.
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.

• 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.
• 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.
When the guide channel is to be used up to full passage, the material bars’ ends should be
turned off for clamping sleeve reception. Note that the feed bar may never be bigger than
the maximum material bar diameter to be machined on the autolathe.
In case of transport by crane with the magazine being fixed on a pallet, the bigger weight
should be observed. The pallet should be fixed as described in section 2.1.
The fixing bolts are not laid out as carrying ones. The transport
beam must fit close to the carrier as shown in the transport
sketch.

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.
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.
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!
For feed bar stroke limitation, a stop square, after fixation and alignment, is to be mounted
before the loading magazine’s feed bar flag.
3. Press EMERGENCY STOP key and close compressed air shut-off valve at the
magazine in order to vent the unit.
4. Open cover.
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.

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

Attention! The guide channel must not contain any material bar!
6. Put the autolathe into zero position, i.e. the clamping device is open.
In case of opened clamping device, the signal lamp -H2 (green, BT1) lights up.
7. Start autolathe.
• In "zero position", the –Sn1 control cam, after contacting the fixed stop, has actuated
the –S3 limit switch.
• After completion of insertion path E, the –Sn2 control cam actuates limit switch –S4.
• Due to the shifting of the –S4 limit switch with final stop on the chain guide, path E
(insertion path) can be altered.
• If the available variable path does not suffice, the –Sn2 control cam must be displaced
on the insertion control chain. Instead of the control cam a chain joint should be used.
• After setting process completion, check whether the –Sn2 control cam actuates the
–S3 limit switch properly.

6. Modules Description
6.1 Substructure with Carrier, Supports, and Oil Reservoir
The carrier, supports, and oil reservoir modules form the substructure.
On the carrier, all parts of the loading magazine are mounted. The carrier, in turn, is
screwed with the supports.
Every support can be adjusted into all directions by using 4 M 16x60 DIN 916 threaded
bolts each. The screws must rest in the footplates enclosed in the scope of delivery.
After alignment, the supports have to be fastened on the ground by using M 16 anchor
bolts (see sect.3).
The oil reservoir is to be placed underneath the magazine separately. Oil supply and
discharge must be linked with the carrier and the oil pump connected electrically.
Upon loading magazine installation, the switch cabinet is to be placed on the ground.

The main switch at the autolathe must be turned on. If the autolathe is ready for operation,
the loading magazine’s automatic operation can be started when the –S25 monitoring
switch at control panel BT1 is in the "Automatic" position. The loading magazine will
continue its work in the step in which it has been turned off.
If, in turned-off condition, any changes were made, switch-on shall be made in the order as
described in sect. 5.2.
Self-actuated automatic operation switch-off after bar stock exhaust or response of safety
devices on the autolathe or loading magazine.
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:
Before opening the cover, press the EMERGENCY STOP key and

In case of material diameters of less than ∅4, we recommend replacement of the lower
gripper blade in order to avoid bar shear-off.
For material separation, the stop, by turning the star grip, can be adjusted to the material
diameter to be machined minus 1 mm.
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
clamping sleeve
bearing insert
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.
clamping spindle
tube
In case of frequent spindle stock movements of the autolathe, it may happen that the
material bar pulls out of the clamping sleeve. We recommend using turned-off bolts for
bearing insert.
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.

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.
The inner diameter of the guide tube/telescopic tube depends on the feed bar built-in.
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.
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.
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!
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
guide carriage
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.
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.
5. Open clamping block and take guide tube out. In case of fixed spindle reductions, remove
balancing bush first, slide the guide tube into the magazine and take it out then.
6. Remount new guide tube in reverse order.
7. Mount cover.

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).
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.

switching step 8.
Switching Step 8
Display 8 Gripper blades closed, -MVY2 switched on.
Feed clutch -KY1 switched on via pre-set potentiometer -R2.
Feed motor -M1 switched at low speed (132 min) via -K11 and into run
forward via -K2.
Gripper blades keep material bar fast.
Feed bar moves forward and presses clamping sleeve over material
bar.
Switching step 8 starts time T3.
Time T3 switches into switching step 9.
Switching Step 9
Display 9 Gripper blades open, -MVY2 switched off.
Feed clutch -KY1 switched off.
Feed motor -M1 switched off.
Gripper blades open and actuate -S14.
Switch -S14 and the still actuated switch -S6 switch into switching
step 10.
Switching Step 11
Display 11 Feed motor -M1 in run forward.
Feed clutch –KY1 switched on via -R2.
Insertion clutch -KY2 will be switched on.
When -S40 is activated, the motor will be switched on clock-wise (for
better insertion of profile material).
Feed bar slides material bar further forward into the autolathe spindle.
Synchronously to that motion, insertion control moves on its preset
path. When this move of the insertion control is completed and
material bar has reached its specified position, switch –S4 switches
into switching step 12.
Switching Step 12
Display 12 Feed motor -M1 in run forward.
Feed clutch -KY1 and insertion clutch -KY2 switched on.
-K1 switches autolathe on or starts program.
When autolathe collet is closed and the corresponding signal applying
("collet open" released), switching step 13 is switched into.
Switching Step 13
Display 13 Feed motor -M1 in run forward via -K2.
Feed clutch -KY1 with resistor -R1 switched on.
Insertion clutch -KY2 switched off.
First material bar facing in autolathe.
If, after the first facing, the autolathe collet opens, then by means of the
"collet open" signal step 14 is switched into.
Switching Step 14
Display 14 Material bar is machined.
For the duration of the applying "collet open" signal, the material bar is
slid forward against the stop of the autolathe by switching the feed
clutch -KY1 on.
This happens until the material bar is worked up, whilst such work-up
is identified by the –S2 switch.
-S2 switches into switching step 15.
Switching Step 16
Display 16 Same switching conditions as in step 15.
The autolathe produces the last workpiece. Then, the autolathe collet
opens. Via the "cycle end" signal, switch is made into switching step 17.
Autolathe or program stop via -K9 (depending on type of autolathe).
Switching Step 17
Display 17 Autolathe or program stop via -K9.
Time T4 is started. After time elapse, T4 switches into switching
step 1.
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.

3. Distributor
When leaving the factory, the filter pressure regulation valve (1) is set
to an operating pressure of 0.6 MPa (6 bar). For readjustment or in
case of a new setting, the setting knob (1.1) is to be unlocked (U) and,
at primarily applying pressure, turned to the right until the gauge
shows the secondary pressure required. The following locking (L) of
the setting knob (1.1) keeps the pressure setting constant.
Condensate Drainage: Semi-automatically.
In order to make the semi automatic drain valve ready for operation,
the drain screw (1.4) must be removed. The drain valve closes when
a pressure of more than 0.5 bar is available. As soon as the filter is
switched pressure-free, the valve (1.4) opens and the condensate
incurred is drained. Manual condensate drainage is possible by
means of the drain screw in case of available pressure.
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.

Attention! For rotor draw-off from the shaft, the rotor hub is provided with
bores having internal threads. No pressure must be exerted on
the outer thin-walled area of the rotor!
Note:
The loading magazine can be operated even in case of an emptied battery. After
mains voltage breakdown, however, the required switching step needs to be selected
via keys–S0 and –S01.

LITHIUM BATTERY
The battery (FMB ident.no. 2024-608) can be replaced when voltage supply is switched
on. For replacement, proceed as follows:
• Remove battery cover at the bottom of the front plate of the power supply unit.
• Take battery out of the holding clamps.
• Put new battery into the holding clamps of the battery cover.
• Insert plug of the new battery into the socket at the power supply unit.
• Pull plug of the old battery out of the socket at the power supply unit.
• Press battery cover into the front plate of the power supply unit again. Be careful not to
squeeze the two wires.
• Switch supply voltage off and on again. Now, the red light emitting diode "BATT" at the
power supply unit will no longer light.
• PLC control system is ready for work again.
Never throw a lithium battery into open fire and never try to
recharge such a battery. It may explode or release hazardous
vapors!
