2. Technical Information
2.1 Description of the Machine
The Patriot is a PLC controlled automatic bar feeder designed for both Swiss style and fixed
headstock lathes. The bar feeder is constructed to handle a wide variety of material profiles
from round to hex and square stocks and can be adapted to feed materials with a more unique
shape.
The bar feeder uses hydrodynamic design to dampen vibrations caused by bar stock rotation.
The bar stock spins within a polyurethane channel which is flooded with a high viscosity
circulating oil. This creates turbulence within the channel that serves to steady the material and
control vibration. The end of the bar stock is supported by a bearing unit on the end of the bar
pusher and the work holding system of the lathe.
An anti-vibration device is located at the front of the bar feeder. Polyurethane bushings
surround the bar, leaving a few millimeters clearance between the bar and the bushings. This
void is filled with oil to help further stabilize and support the stock. For Swiss style sliding
headstock lathes a moveable anti-vibration device is mounted on the rear of the lathe
headstock to provide even more support and vibration dampening.
Our touch screen control panel gives access to parameters that allow easy set up and
operation. Most job changeovers require only one or two parameter settings. While in the
automatic mode the screen displays helpful information.

2.2 Machine footprint and Installation Area
Caution machine placement is important and proper planning should
be observed. A level floor free from cracks is ideal for anchoring of the
machine. As the customer is the one that decides on machine installation
placement it is their responsibility to be aware of proper floor requirements.
Placement of the bar feeder is important to gain the use of all the features. It is important to
review the lathe layout to be sure proper clearance exists of the assembly. On some lathes
accessories may prohibit proper placement such as tool changers and transformers. On certain
lathes a “Chucker Mode” option is available. This option requires the physical movement of the
bar feeder fore and aft to the lathe headstock Z axis movement plane, while anchored to the
floor. Be sure to place the bar feeder close enough to supply the reach for the pusher when the
lathe is converted to “Chucker Mode” If placed too far the remnant will be longer than normal. Be
advised that too close may allow the bar feeder telescoping nose to collapse into the head stock
when the headstock moves to full negative over travel.
The Patriot models are available in 3 different pusher length configurations reflected in the chart
below.

¹ Although the guide channel is capable of running the minimum diameter listed, the increasing difference between
the stock OD and channel ID allows greater potential for vibration. Spindle RPM may need to be reduced
accordingly.
² Bar stock larger than the standard maximum diameter up to the collet diameter may be used if the bar end
diameter is reduced to fit a standard collet. An ejection collet may also be used if the end of the material is
chamfered to match the angle of the ejection collet.
³ Diameter can only be run with a front ejection collet.

2.4 Safety
Warning safety switches should always be in place during bar
feeder operation.
The patriot is designed to be safe and reliable to operate. However, the machine can be
dangerous if used improperly by untrained personnel. Personnel should be familiar with the
operating instructions of the equipment before using and must follow standard safety practices.
The machine is equipped with safety devices to prevent accidental damage to the machine and
injury to the operator. These devices must not be bypassed or tampered with.
2.4.2 Covers
Warning covers should always be in place during bar feeder
operation. The Patriot is supplied with covers to prevent access to moving
parts during operation. The hood of the machine is equipped with a safety
switch to place the machine in alarm if the hood is not closed. The magazine
cover prevents access to the material on the rack and the bar separators.
2.4.3 Lathe Door Safety
Warning lathe door safety if used should not be bypassed
An input to the Patriot for monitoring the lathe door is available. If used, this input will prevent
movement of the machine when the lathe door is open. This parameter is normally set during
machine installation. It is not advisable that this feature is disabled once enabled.
Please review the electrical schematics for the lathe and bar feeder to use the door Safety.

REV 10:2019
2.5 Emergency Stop Buttons
Warning Indicates a potential danger to life or risk of personal
injury. Exercise extreme caution. These buttons should be tested monthly
to verify the proper emergency stoppage of the lathe and Patriot.
There are two emergency stop buttons on the bar feeder. Button ES1 is the emergency stop
button on the HMI control panel housing. Button ES2 is the emergency stop button on the
remote pendant control. Pressing either emergency stop button disconnects the Emergency
Stop Relay.
Contacts from the emergency stop buttons are incorporated into the interface with the lathe
emergency stop circuit to enable the lathe to be manually placed into emergency stop
condition from the machine control panel.
The lathe emergency stop system will place the bar feeder into emergency stop as well.
During installation, on some lathes during emergency stop the output of 220V to the bar
feeder is removed. This will not allow the bar feeder to meet the emergency stop reset
requirements of the lathe. The lathe will be stuck in emergency stop and the bar feeder will not
power up. Please contact Edge Technologies for appropriate instructions. It is the
responsibility of the bar feeder and lathe installer to verify emergency stop operation between
the lathe and bar feeder is operational. That is when the emergency stop on either machine is
depressed automatic operations are stopped immediately. If this does not occur appropriate
diagnosis by a trained technician is required. Contact Edge Technologies for additional
information.

2.6 Electrical Safety
WARNING!
ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICEMAN SHOULD PERFORM ANY
ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING OR MAINTENANCE TO THIS
EQUIPMENT.
DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS OR ADJUSTMENTS ON
THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FIRST LOCKING OUT ALL ELECTRICAL
CONTROLS IN ACCOURDANCE WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
SAFETY CODES.
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE TRAINED IN OSHA COMPLIANT LOCK-OUT/TAG-
OUT AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY COMPONENTS!
NEVER SHOULD ADJUSTMENTS, MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING BE
PREFORMED WITHOUT FOLLOWING PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL SAFETY CODES.
Before making any electrical connections be certain the voltage for which the bar feeder
requires from the lathe is verified with a voltmeter at the power supply connector. Verify this
voltage matches the required voltage of the bar feeder, see machine operator manual section
2.3 Specifications and Capacities. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the
equipment. Normally a bar feeder is ordered from Edge Technologies to be placed with a
specific lathe model. The wiring interface is set in accordance with current information received
to Edge Technologies. There are times the lathe manufacture may update and change the main
connector pin locations and circuits. It is important this is verified with the schematics of the
lathe and bar feeder. In some cases a harness is provided which must be wired into the lathe.
All previous safety advises and information must be adhered to. This form of connection allows
for quickly unplugged for cleaning or service without having to disconnect “hard wired”
connections.
Before starting the bar feeder, check to be sure no tools, packing, or other material have been
left in the machine or lathe.

PATRIOT 338/551

REV 10:2019
2.6.2 Electrical Connection
Warning The power for the bar feeder and the input and output signals between
the bar feeder and lathe are supplied through the interface cable. The interface cable is normally
pre-wired for the lathe application when shipped from Edge. The installer should verify the
connection to the lathe before applying voltage to the system. If the lathe is not equipped with
an interface connection for the machine plug and cables will be supplied. This supplied harness
must be wired into the lathe electrical cabinet by a qualified technician. The lathe must support a
machine type interface for the machines to be connected. Additionally some lathes types power
output may be higher than the required 230 voltage. If this is the case an additional transformer
will be required to step down the lathe voltage for the bar feeder.
*Note the wiring interface contained in this manual is a generic 1 to 1 pin to wire call out.
Each lathe brand is different from one to another. Please contact Edge Technologies for
the proper interface schematic if you do not have one.
