Design and functions

The bar loading magazine INDEX MBL operates in accordance with the principle
of "bar stock carried on multiple roller bearing", i.e. the bar stock is guided at equal
intervals by deep groove ball bearings, the open-ings of which have been fitted out
with plastic guide bearings reduced to the stock diameter.
Each bearing is suspended elastically in a bearing plate via an elastic damping ring.
(Refer to Figure "Bearing sets and bearing reduction sets" in the chapter "Operating
Documentation".) All bearing plates are arranged on a support beam, adjustable hori-
zontally and connected by means of two slidable lattice grate (Nuremberg scissors)
which bring the bearing plates together to an exactly parallel position.
By means of the slidable lattice grate, the bearing plates are spaced out equally over
the length of the bar stock. The shorter the bar stock becomes, the shorter the dis-
tances between the bearing plates become by an equal amount.
Once all bearing plates have been pushed together into a little package, the remain-
ing bar stock is pushed forwards by means of a feeding bar, the rear end of which is
also guided by the support beam. The feeding bar exceeds the length of the lathe’s
workspindle only by the length of the package.
The feeding bar and also the first and last bearing plates, are moved backwards and
forwards by means of chain drives.

Technical Data
Loading and discharge

The loading cycle is shown in the last figure.
Stock bars are placed on the slanted stock support.
An adjustable holding down device ensures that bars are supported properly.
Thanks to the slant of the stock support, bars roll to the stop of the adjustable stock
support lips which are integrated into the stock support.
The position of the stop can be altered by means of the adjustment screws.
In its idle position, the loading arm grips the bar lying on the stop.
When a loading cycle is initiated, the loading arm raises the bar, guides it on its path
to the support vees and lowers it there. The loading arm then returns to its idle
position.
Observe the following points during loading and unloading:
- Loading and unloading are only possible when the slidable lattice grate is in its
rearmost postion.
- The stock support is only interrogated upon starting from the loading arm’s idle
position.
Slidable lattice grate and feeding bar

Movement of the slidable lattice grate and feeding bar is only possible when the
loading arm is in idle position.
(1) The next stock bar is prevented from rolling forwards by means of the loading
arm’s gripper.
For this reason, when inserting stock bars for the first time, a „blank“ loading
cycle must be run in order for the first stock bar to roll forwards to the stop of
the material support lips.
(2) The slidable lattice grate can also be moved forwards and backwards manually by
means of an included crank.
If required, it is necessary to release the first bearing plate manually when it is
in foremost end position. This is done with a lever on the right-hand face side of
the bar loading magazine.

Fig.: Stock stop on the bar loading magazine
The stock stop is fitted onto the piston of the hydraulic cylinder and screwed firmly
to it.
It serves:
- As reference point during measurement of the loaded stock bar.

- As protection against inadvertant sliding in of a stock bar in the event of deactivated
feeding.
The stock stop has two positions:
1. up
2. down
It can be moved manually to these positions by selecting the function STOCK

STOP.
In this case, observe the following:
Upwards movement is not possible if
- a stock bar has been inserted and is still in the stop area.
(Refer to section "Stock bar removal" in chapter "Setting up and Operating".)
- the feeding bar is in the stop area.
Move the feeding bar rearwards to behind the stop bolt.

Installing the bar loading magazine

The bar loading magazine has to be installed at the left front face of the machine.The
distance between the cover sheet H40961.70 of the bar loading magazine and the
clamping cylinder resp. external machine cover hast to be 10-15 mm.
The installation plan of the bar loading magazine can be found in chapter "Operat-
ing documentation" of the machine operating instructions; it can, however, also be
obtained separately.
Use the adjustment screws in the baseplate of the uprights for vertical adjustment.
Aligning the bar loading magazine

The bar loading magazine must be aligned so that the bearing plate centre is exactly
aligned with the workspindle axis.
Measuring points:
1. Front edge of magazine.
2. At a distance of 2.0 m to 2.5 m from the front edge of the magazine.
Alignment must be carried out with utmost of care, because not only attainable
speeds, but also vibrations, noise development, surface quality and tolerance of the
workpiece depend on the accuracy of alignment.
Alignment methods:
1. With a grid wire.
2. With an accurately straight circular bar material.
3. Optically with the help of additional equipment.
On completion of alignment, the machine and the bar loading magazine must be
securely anchored into the floor using the supplied fixing parts. (See figure "Floor
Anchorage".)
Hydraulic and electrical connection
The two hydraulic hoses of the magazine must be connected to the corresponding
screw connections (P and T) on the machine.
Refer to chapter „Operating documentation“ in the machine operating instructions

for the hydraulic plan of the bar loading magazine; it can, however, also be obtained
separately.
Electrical connection is established by plugging the supply lead into the corresponding
socket on the machine’s control cabinet.

Fixing to the floor
The bar loading magazine and the machine must be anchored to the
floor.
Before erecting the machine the holes for the anchoring bolts must be drilled
to the machine erecting diagram and the plugs must be inserted..
After aligning the holes for anchoring the bar loading magazine can be drilled through
the strips.
The length of the anchoring bolts depends on the floor property and must possibly
be adjusted.
After fixing with the plugs the bar loading magazine can be adjusted sideways +/- 11
mm for correction.

LH1402.10013 - 26.01.2010
Requirements applicable to the stock bar

The attainable speeds, vibrations, noise development, surface quality and tolerance of
the workpiece depend directly on the straightness of the bar stock. To attain optimum
values, bars may only be machined if they do not vary by more than 0.5 mm/m from
the straight. Bar stock should not even have slight kinks in the area of the bar end.
Bars which do not fulfill these requirements must be straightened.
Both ends of the bar must be free from burrs. The face surfaces of stock bars must
be perpendicular to the longitudinal bar axis (sawn; not knocked or sheered off). The
corners at the front end of squared-off stock should be chamfered.
When machining pipe material, bar ends must be plugged.
Preparation of the collet chuck for machining squared-

off material
To ensure that squared-off material is properly inserted into the collet chuck during
automatic bar feed, the collet must be adjusted inthe following manner:
The slope behind the gripping surface must be reworked in such a manner that a
right-angled face surface with a diameter of "width across the corners of the bar
material +0.2 mm" is produced in relation to the gripping surface.
1 gripping surface
e + 0,2
s 1
2 slope
2 077081.0008
Fig.: Collet chuck for machining squared-off material
Insertion of polygonal bar stock

Pendulum motion of the workspindle must be programmed for correct insertion of
polygonal bar stock into the collet chuck.
If the wear position is not reached during pushing forward of the bar stock, the spindle
swings at the programmed speed, and the feeding bar lifts off the bar end and pushes
forward again. This is repeated untill the wear position is reached; however, this is

Cover accessibility
The cover of the bar loading magazine can be opened on the front (operating side)
and rear.
The folding covers over the stock support on the front side of the bar loading maga-
zine can be opened to load the stock support with new stock bars. In this case, a
safety switch interrupts forwards movement of the bearing plates, i.e. the presently
machined workpiece is completed, but no further stock is fed.
The rear folding covers of the bar loading magazine are screwed down for safety
reasons and are monitored by a safety switch. They must not be opened until no
further machining is taking place in the machine.
It is easiest to convert the bar loading magazine through the rear opening.
Conversion to a new bar diameter

Activities to be carried out, which are described in detail below:
- Adjusting the stock support lips and, if necessary, replacing strips on the stock
support lips.
- Adjusting the holding down devices (only in the diameter range from 5 to 15
mm).
- Adjusting the support vees and folding supports.
- Replacing the guiding sleeves.
- Replacing the guiding ring on the feeding bar and, if necessary, replacing the feed-
ing bar.
- Programming the MBL operating data
Adjusting the stock support lips

The stock support lips in the stock support must be adjusted with the adjustment
screws so that, during each loading cycle, the loading arm only picks up one stock
bar from the stock support.
Corresponding strips must be fitted onto the stock support lips depending on the
diameter range.

On the loading arms there are 120° angle elements which must be removed to insert
squared-off material.

LH1402.10013 - 26.01.2010
Adjusting the holding down devicess

When feeding stock bars within the diameter range from 5 to approx. 15 mm the
holding down devices must be adjusted so that there is a gap between the stock
support and holding down device which is approx. 1 mm larger than the bar diameter.
Adjustment is carried out in an oblong hole.
The strip on the holding down device must be adjusted so that the first bar on the
stock support is free while the second one is still held down.
No holding down device is required for diameters in excess of 15 mm.

In such cases, it can be pushed to the top in the oblong hole and clamped in
place.

The height of the support vee can be altered, and thus adapted to the stock bar
diameter, by releasing the engaging pin and turning the adjustment wheel.
The basic equipment includes a 120° support vee with which the diameter to be set
for round stock, or the width between flats of squared-off
stock, can be read directly off the scale.
After undoing the securing screws, the folding supports can be shifted longitudinally
on the support beam so that their position can be adapted
to differing bar lengths. The last folding support should support the stock bar approx.
200 mm away from its end.

LH1402.10013 - 26.01.2010
Adjusting support vees for squared-off material
90° support vees, obtainable completely with the adjustment spindles if ordered
separately, are needed to handle squared-off stock.
To replace the vees, the engaging pin must be released and the adjustment wheel
turned in counter clockwise direction until the vee, including the adjustment spindle,
can be removed. The new vees can now be inserted.
The scale does not directly indicate the width across flats of squared-off stock, and
the adjustment value must be calculated as follows:
Adjustment value = 1,22 x width across flats
Example: Squared-off stock a/f 40
Adjustment value = 1,22 x 40 = 48,8
49 must be adjusted
Replacing guiding sleeves 42 and 65

One set of guiding sleeves matched to each stock bar diameter is needed. To replace
guiding sleeves, the knurled ring must be turned by 60° and removed. The guiding
sleeve can now be pulled out of the ball bearing.
After inserting a new guiding sleeve, the ring must be slid onto the corresponding
milled recesses of the guiding sleeve and turned by approx. 60° in order for the wire
ring to reliably engage in the next recess.
Bearing reduction set - replacing guiding sleeves 10, 18

and 30
Should diameters from 5 to 10 mm in the case of bar loading magazine MBL42, or
diameters from 5 to 30 mm in the case of bar loading magazine MBL65, be handled,
it is necessary to use a bearing reduction set.
The bearing reduction set has the same outward appearance as the corresponding
guiding sleeve and can therefore be replaced in the same way.
The guiding sleeves for the bearing reduction set are held with a Seeger snap ring.
To replace these guiding sleeves, it is recommended to remove the bearing reduction
set and to replace the guiding sleeves outside of the bar loading magazine.
In the diameter range from 5 to 10 mm, the stock bar length is limited to 3000 mm.

Maintenance and Servicing

Maintenance and service intervals
This section contains guide lines on regular and punctual maintenance work which is
essential to maintain the reliability and accuracy of the bar loading magazine.
To avoid accidents, maintenance and assembly work must be carried

out with the lath switched off (main switch set to OFF, protected
protected against inadvertent switching on and depressurization
of the hydraulic system by opening the safety valve).
However, some work requires an operational machine. Special care
must be taken in cases like this. In all cases it must be ensured
that the machine or bar loading magazine is prevented from any
movement while maintenance or assembly work is carried out.
Work to be carried out after 100 hours of operation:

– Check the tension of the drive chains and readjust it if necessary. (Refer to section
„Checking and adjusting chain tension“ overleaf.)
After 200 to 400 hours of operation, depending on the degree of contami-

nation, the following work must be carried out:
– Clean and grease the skew gear cogging and involutes of the folding supports.
– Clean and grease guide rails and rollers.
Work to be carried out after 1250 hours of operation:

– Clean the guide beam.
– Grease chains and chain gears.
– Grease bearings of all moveable parts.
Checking and adjusting chain tension

The tension of the drive chains must be checked after approx. 100 hours of opera-
tion. Chains must be retensioned if they sag between two support wheels. For this
purpose, undo the clamping screws (17 mm hexagon nuts) and tension the chains
by turning the chain tensioning screws (10 mm hexagon screws) to the right. Then
retighten the clamping screws.
Should the bearing plates no longer be perpendicular to the guide rails (e.g. due
to differing lengths of the drive chains), this can be compensated by adjusting the
retainers on the bearing plates or on the pusher carriage.
For this purpose, the clamping screw must be unscrewed and the adjusting spindle
turned until perpendicularity between the bearing plate (pusher carriage) and the guide
rails is reestablished.

Access to the Lathe by pulling back the support

To obtain access to the left-hand face side of the lathe in the event of malfunctions or
for maintenance, it is possible to detach the upper part of the magazine (beam) from
the uprights and to move it out on castors by approx. 670 mm to the left.
For this purpose, there are two hoisting facilities on each upright with which the upper
part (beam) can be lifted off the uprights after backing off the clamping screws.
This facility may only be used when the magazine has been firmly
anchored to the floor.
Before loosening the clamping screws, it must be ensured that the setting nuts of
the rear clamping screws are flushed with the upright and firmly clamped in position.
This will ensure that the clamping screws can be
brought into the same position after the beam has been pushed back into its original
position and that the magazine is aligned accurately and flush with the workspindle
of the lathe.
By screwing in the 17 mm screws, the bars of the four lifting facilities are evenly
moved upwards so that the beam lifts off the supports of the uprights and can be
moved freely. The beam is pulled back manually, this being restricted by end stops.
After rectification of the fault in the machine, the beam can be moved back to its
original position and lowered by unscrewing the 17 mm screws.
It must be ensured that the rearward clamping screw fits exactly into the notch of
the shim embedded in the beam.
Now tighten the rearward clamping screw until the clamped setting nut lies firmly
against the upright. The uprights can now be screwed to the beam by screwing
in the front clamping screws (torque = 15 Nm). The groove nuts at the front must
then be tightened.

Material dependent accessories
Turning equipment for guiding sleeves

There are four different feeding bars for various diameter ranges (refer to "Material-
dependent accessories - overview".)
For each bar diameter a set of guiding sleeves (9 pieces) and depending on the fitted
pusher a guide ring is required. (Refer to the section “Material dependent accessories
– overview”).
The bores of the guiding sleeves have an insertion angle of 4, 5 or 8mm on one side.
Guiding sleeves must be fitted in such a way that the insertion angle points towards
the machine.
To facilitate positioning of the first guiding sleeve (in the first bearing plate) on the
inserted stock bar, it is possible to increase the insertion angle of the first guiding
sleeve.
With a turning machine with bar capacity 60 or 65 mm a spindle

liner tube with the appropriate inside diameter (bar diameter +
1mm) must be inserted in the workspindle.
The stock stop of the bar loading magazine must be removed
for changing the liner tube.
Turning equipment for guiding sleeves

Diameter of guiding sleeve and guiding ring
Diameter of guiding sleeve and guiding ring

Optimum guidance of the bar stock requires exact fitting of the guiding sleeves in
respect of the bar stock's diameter.
The outer diameter di of the guiding ring is calculated as fol-

lows:
Round material di+0,1 = dst + 0,2 (mm)
Squared-off material di+0,1 = e - 0,1 (mm)

The outer diameter da of the guiding ring is calculated as fol-

lows:
Round material da–0,1 = dst - 0,2 (mm)

Squared-off material da–0,1 = e - 0,5 (mm)
di = Inner dia. of guiding sleeve (mm).
da = Quter diameter of guiding ring (mm).

dst = Bar diameter (mm).
e = Actual corner measurement of square-off material (mm).
Example: Hexagonal material, 50 mm width across; e = 57.7 mm
di = 57,7 mm - 0,1 = 57,6+0,1 mm

da = 57,7 mm - 0,5 = 57,2-0,1 mm
