1.1 Notes for Your Safety
Before operating the machine, be sure to read the operating instructions carefully.
Your barfeeder is designed and built for maximum ease and safe operation.
Read the appropriate instructions or manuals before attempting operation or maintenance of the
equipment. Make sure, you understand all instructions.
Do not operate the barfeeder, unless the protective cover is closed.
Strictly follow the instructions and warning signs on the machine.
Do not operate equipment, unless proper maintenance has been regularly performed and
equipment is known to be in good working condition.
Do not operate equipment, if unusual or excessive heat, noise, smoke, or vibration occurs.
Report any excessive or unusual vibration, sounds, smoke, or heat as well as any damaged
parts.
Make sure that equipment is properly grounded. Consult National Electric Code and all local
codes.
Disconnect main electrical power, before attempting mechanical repair or maintenance.
Don’t reach any control or power enclosure area, unless electrical power is off.
Do not allow the operation or repair of equipment, by untrained personnel.
Replace blown fuses of the same size and type as originally furnished.
Remove any loose parts or tools left on machine or in the work area, before operating the
machine.
Before pressing the cycle start button, be sure that proper functions are programmed and that all
controls are set in the desired modes.
Do not exceed the rated capacity of machine.
Use feed tube liners in the spindle of the lathe when using barfeeder.
If bar stock will not feed properly, carefully diagnose the problem to determine the best
corrective measures.
1.2 Description
MSV80 is an advanced design electronic barfeeder for all high speed automatic or CNC
controlled lathes, machining high precision pieces from round to different section bars.
MSV80 consists of a servo driven timing belt system, which feeds the bar to the spindle within
the noted tolerance without any stopper on the turret or up to a stopper depending on the
tolerance requirements, a magazine rack on which bars are stocked and loaded on a channel
through an automatic mechanism in order to feed in to spindle by belt drive system, and
electronic control panel, which allows the operator to set parameters to control the operation.
1.3 Identification
The serial number of each barfeeder is given on an identification plate located on the machine.
State the serial number in all correspondence concerning the barfeeder.

1. Mechanism
1.4 Transport and Unpacking
MSV80 barfeeder is delivered in a wooden crate. The net weight around 510 kg, gross weight
around 700kg. - WARNING -
To avoid any damage during unpacking, follow these recommendations carefully.
1.4.1 : Unpacking
.Bring the crates containing the barfeeder near to the machine tool.
. Remove the cover and the sides of the crate.
. Unscrew the anchoring bolts and take the feet of the case.
1.4.2 : Transportation by forklift truck
＜Caution＞
WHEN MOVING BY FORKLIFT , BEWARD
THE screw UNDERNEATH THE BAR FEEDER!
See Figure 6 ‘Transportation by forklift truck’ A and B
1.4.3 Transportation by crane/hoist cables
＜Caution＞
WHEN USING THE HOIST CABLES AND LIFTING THE BAR FEEDER MAKE SURE
THE CABLES HANGING IN THE CORRECT POSITION AND THAT YOU DO NOT DAMAGE THE CASING
OR ATTACHED PIECES!
See Figure 7 ‘Transportation by crane/hoist cables’
1.5 Accessories Supplied
The various accessories required for the operation and maintenance of the MSV80, are
supplied with each barfeeder. These accessories are packed in the crate :
(a) Electrical connection cabinet key
(b) Additional Pushrod.
(c) Interface Connection Cable
1.6 Preparations for installing the barfeeder
To ensure a correct installation and a rapid start up:
1.6.1 The assembly and start-up must be carried out by the technicians or representatives of
Hydrafeed.
1.6.2 In the customer’s interest, the maintenance and operating staff should be present at the
installation of the barfeeder for appropriate training on its use thereafter.
1.6.3 The Lathe
It must be completely installed, with its cylinder and chucking system.
It must be ready for production.
For the day of installation, it must be totally available.
The interface must be completed and ready for the following electrical connections.
Power Supply, 1x220V, 50/60Hz or 1x400V,50Hz(Optional)
Emergency Stop
Safety Lines
‘End of Bar’ Signal
Feed Bar Command

1. Mechanism
1.6.4 The Reducing Liners for the Lathe
The customer must ensure that the headstock reducing liners requires for the lathe are
available for the bar types and sizes to be machined during the first month of the production.
These liners can be obtained from the lathe supplier or made by the customer.
1.6.5 Ground Space Requirements
The customer must ensure that there is enough space for the installation of the bar feeder on
the axis of the machine tool of the rear of the spindle. See floor plan. See Figure 1 ‘Floor
Plan’, Figure 2 ‘Assembly Plan’
1.6.6 Barfeeder Foundation
The foundation for the barfeeder must be a high quality concrete with sufficient thickness for
correct anchoring of the legs. The legs will be fastened to the slab by expansion bolts.
1.6.7 Lathe Foundation
The lathe should be installed on the same foundation as the barfeeder. A perfect alignment of
the barfeeder relative to the head of the lathe is a prerequisite condition to obtain high
precision machining.
As soon as the barfeeder and the lathe have been aligned, any shift is unacceptable.
Accelerations, decelerations and/or vibrations may shift the lathe. To avoid the risk of the
machine shifting, we recommend to secure positioning blocks to the foundation at the corners
of the lathe.
1.7 Mounting, Anchoring and Alignment
＜Caution＞
The alignment of the barfeeder relative to the machine tool is the most important operation of the
installation and must be carried out with extreme care. The amount of time taken for the
alignment procedure is unimportant when compared with the problems which may be occurred
on the machine or barfeeder.
1.7.1 Preparation for the Alignment
Pull the nylon rope through the headstock of the lathe, the front and the rear
pushrod support -use the hole on the piston back support part-.and tighten.
1.7.2 Rough Alignment
Place an arrow shaped sheet metal piece with a magnet to the rear
headstock face of the lathe and into the hole on the front pushrod support,
in order to obtain two checking points around the nylon rope.
Loose the side bolts and adjust the height by adjusting height adjustment screws on the left
and the right of the barfeeder. See Figure 3 ‘Manual Adjustments’ B1.
When lateral adjustment and the height is adjusted bolt the barfeeder to the ground.
See Figure 3 ‘Manual Adjustments’ A1
1.7.3 Accurate Alignment
The nylon rope must be tight-stretched to avoid bending by its own weight
After all these operations, repeat the steps defined at point 1.7.2.
The alignment limits measured at the inlet of the headstock and in the centring lunette should
be +/- 0.2 mm maximum, in both horizontal and vertical direction.
After completing all operations tighten all the nuts and the bolts

1.7.4 Connection to Floor
Control the firmness of the floor. It must be made up of high quality concrete. This allow correct
anchorage by means of fixing bolts supplied with the barfeeder. See Figure 3 ‘Manual
Adjustments’ A1
1.8 Changing the Pushrod Position
In order to take the pushrod piston out, follow the steps shown on the Figure 4 ‘Changing
Pushrod Piston’. By manual operation, take the mechanism up Step 1. Pull the piston to the
right and take out the back pin from its retaining hole Step 2. Turn the piston upside down Step
3. Pull the piston to the left to take out. Step 4.
1.9 Retraction of the Barfeeder for Spindle Service
If the retraction of the barfeeder is needed for any spindle service, unlock the locking system by
sliding the locking pin through its slot, as shown on the Figure 5 “Retracting The Barfeeder” F1.
Unlock the locking device, now it is possible for barfeeder to slide back Figure 5 F2.
1.10 Material Rack Height and Diameter Adjustment
Depending on the shape and diameter of the bar to be used, the height and the angle of
material rack may be adjusted. The height may be adjusted roughly by changing the pin
position, see Figure 3 ‘Manual Adjustments’ D2, or fine by turning the lower support tube.
See Figure 3 D1.
For the diameter changes, by adjustment screw, the material rack may be slide with respect to
the loading mechanism, so that different diameters can be handled by the barfeeder.
See Figure 3 D3.
1.11 Maintenance
Grease the ball screw monthly.
