Common Issues
T
he Quick Load Servo S3 is designed to be a user-friendly, simple, and reliable bar feeder, covering a range of diameters
¼” to 4 ¾”. Although easy to use, including extremely quick changeovers and the capability for unmanned operation this
unit is not flawless. A list of common issues that have been documented by service technicians and problems relayed back
from customers has been compiled in this manual. This chapter discusses the most common problems that have been
observed. Along with each problem, a brief description is given as well as quick reference charts of symptoms/solutions,
sequences, and procedures for adjustments, changeovers and alignment.

QUICK LOAD SERVO S3


2-2 Chapter 2: Common Issues

Low Voltage / PLC Shutdown

Description:
The Quick Load Servo S3 uses a LNS PCD2 controller (PLC) to send/receive inputs/outputs. The PLC is powered by a +24VDC input
supplied by a transformer. The input supply voltage must be regulated to ensure proper functioning. The remote control station,
which is used to send/receive data back and forth with the PLC, is powered by the +24VDC on the PLC.

Through the remote control station, the user can command the bar feeder to perform different functions by sending data to the PLC.
The PLC will then transfer data back to the remote control station to either inform the user the status of what the bar feeder is doing or
is waiting for the user to command the next task.

The following chart discusses possible problems, which may be occurring between the PLC and the remote control station:

Chapter 2: Common Issues 2-3

Vibration Issues
The term “vibration” is being used regarding the Quick Load Servo S3, to indicate that the RPM performance of the lathe is physically
deteriorated, to the point of creating an unbalanced rotational oscillation of the bar stock, within the confines of the spindle of the lathe
that is detrimental to the machining process.
Various items can cause or enhance a lathe spindle vibration issue, requiring the reduction of the spindle rpm to bring the anomaly
back to a normal controlled rotation. These items can be related to the material, the lathe, or the bar feed.

Material
The material must be reasonably straight. LNS has a specification of 0.5mm / meter (non-accumulative). Remember when running a
spindle liner for a Quick Load, the ID of the liner may be only 0.040” over the stock size (which is 0.5m per side). This means you may
not only have a vibration issue, but the material may also be caught in a bind as it is loaded through the liner, if it doesn’t meet our
straightness specification.
If the material has been saw cut, the sharp edges and burrs must be removed
If the material is a hot roll type it may not meet our specifications.
If the material has been “cropped” to length the last 6”-12” of the end of the bar may be unusable due to being bent severely in the
process.

Note: Also, there is a possibility to have a severe angle on the end of the bar,
which has been cropped. This can lead to mis-positioning during part feed out,
depending on the surface area that the Quick Load’s pusher is pushing against, as
the bar has rotated in it’s orientation inside the spindle.

Lathe
The lathe should be level and on a solid foundation. LNS recommend that the lathe be bolted to the floor.
The headstock / actuator assembly should have minimal run out. *
Proper chucking device should be selected to match the machining application. *
The chucking device should have proper clamping pressure. *
The surface of the jaws or pads must make proper contact with the material. *
*Please reference OEM specifications.

Bar feed
The bar feed should be within proper alignment to the spindle of the lathe.
Since the pusher of the Quick Load is a fixed component and does not rotate, it cannot come in contact with the ID of the spindle or
with the rear of the bar stock unless the spindle is stopped.
Remember the pusher must also back off of the bar stock after the lathe’s collet closes prior to the spindle rotating (refer to Pusher
Reversing Distance, pg. 3-24).

Spindle Liner
Ensure that the properly sized spindle liner has been installed (0.040” ideal gap).
Ensure the liner is straight (check total run out), and has all o-rings intact.

Chapter 2: Common Issues 2-5

Part Feed Out Accuracy

Description:
The accuracy of the part positioning can be affected by many factors. Choosing the correct bar feed application and setting
the barfeed parameters correctly are crucial to ensuring the proper accuracy.

Part Setup Parameter:


1. Input overall part length (Located in: 1. Part setup menu)
The parameter determines how far the push rod will advance the barstock during a part feed out. This value should include
the finished part length, cut-off and facing. Otherwise, how much material must be fed out to make a complete part.

Application Selection: (Located in: 2. Application Setup)

1. Feed without help of the turret


This application requires that the lathe be equipped with a pull-to-close type clamping system. If a push-to-close type
clamping system is used then the “Feed with help of the turret” application must be selected. It is recommended by LNS that
when feeding without the help of the turret that a dead-length, parallel gripping type clamping device be used. This type of
clamping system will prevent the barstock from moving forward when the clamping device is closed, thus losing the
positioning accuracy.
2. Feed with help of the turret
This application can be selected when either a pull-to close or push-to-close type clamping system is installed but must
always be selected when a push-to-close type clamping system is installed. This is due to the barstock moving forward as
the draw tube pushes forward to close the clamping device.

For more information on setting up different applications see Chapter 5 - Bar feed Applications.

Parameters related to clamping device: (located in: 4. Miscellaneous Functions menu)


1. Time for clamping device to close (Parameter 74)
Once the clamping device close signal is output from the lathe the barfeed will wait for the time entered in this parameter to
expire then the push rod will reverse off the back of the part.
If this time is set to low then the push rod may reverse before the clamping device is physically closed. When this occurs
with a pull-to-close clamping system then the push rod will not be in place to support the barstock as the clamping device
closes. The push rod can overcome the weight of the barstock moving in the draw tube but can not overcome the force of
the clamping device this is why a dead-length, parallel gripping type clamping device is recommended.
Setting this time to high will not effect the part positioning. However, if this time is set to high the push rod may not reverse
off the barstock before the spindle begins to rotate. This can create excessive noise and possibly damage the push rod.
2. Time for clamping device to open (Parameter 75)
Once the clamping device open signal is output from the lathe the barfeed will wait for the time entered in this parameter to
expire then the push rod will advance the part the distance programmed.
If this time is set to low then the push rod may hit the back of the clamping device before it is physically open. This can
cause a variation of unexpected results.

For further information on part feed out accuracy with special applications (i.e. Shaft Loading) please contact your local LNS
representative.

Magazine and Loading Finger Adjustment


The slope of the magazine rack needs to be adjusted when the shape of the material being loaded changes from round to profiled or
vise versa.
When loading round stock, if the slope of the magazine is too much it is possible for the material to stack up and cause double loading
if the weight of the material is great enough (especially when loading smaller diameter stock). Therefore, the slope must be reduced.
When loading profiled (ex. square/hex) stock, if the slope of the magazine is not great enough it can prohibit the ability of the material
to slide down the rack. Therefore, the slope must be increased.

Procedure: Round Profiled

Conditions:
ƒ No stock on the magazine.
ƒ Bare feed in STOP mode.

Step 1: Rotate the loader rack adjustment axle CCW to increase the slope of the magazine until the indicator on the side of the
magazine references the profiled material. Note: if there is not enough adjustment on the threaded rod, remove the pin and
lift the magazine up to the next hole and reinsert the pin. Caution when removing the pin, the magazine rack will drop if not
supported properly.

Pusher Reversing Distance Adjustment


The pusher reverses a specified distance, after the chuck closes, so that it is not making contact with the rotating bar or the spindle.
Generally, the smaller the diameter of the pusher the greater the reversing distance. This is due to deflection (or sagging) of the
pusher, which is caused when the pusher is far up in the spindle of the lathe and can no longer support its own weight so the tip of the
pusher begins to sag.

Procedure:

Conditions:
ƒ Bar feed power on.
ƒ V-channel in the lower position.
ƒ No bar stock in the spindle.
ƒ End of Bar Position is set.

Step 1: Press the icon for manual mode.


Run the pusher forward until the tip of the pusher sags and is touching the spindle (or spindle liner if one is installed). (Note:
if the pusher does not touch the spindle before the End of Bar position is reached, then the default value will remain as the
value for the Pusher Reversing Distance parameter. If this is the case, then return the pusher to the home position and this
procedure is complete, otherwise go to Step 3.)
Step 2: Reverse the pusher just slightly until there is ¼” clearance between the pusher and the bottom of the spindle.
Step 3: Record the value of the pusher position on the remote control station.
Take this value and subtract if from the value of the End of Bar position. Take this new value and enter it as the value for
the Pusher Reversing Distance parameter.

Calibration of the Loading Table


To obtain optimal loading, the bar must be perfectly centered on the spindle, regardless of its diameter or profile. Whenever the
diameter or the profile is changed, the position of the loading table is automatically adjusted according to the parameters entered by
the operator. If, for any reason whatsoever, the position of the loading table would be incorrect (either too low or too high), it can be
corrected.

ith the help of the latest technological innovations, it is possible to update new software and restore lost data through
the use of Smart Media. Smart Media, which is mainly used in photography, has been integrated for use with the
user-friendly remote control station. The Smart Media Card holds a backup program for the Quick Load Servo S3 if
at anytime there has been a power failure or any error has occurred in the user program. In addition, it automatically
backs up any application/interface parameters that have been set for the most recent application being run.
Following a few systematic procedures is all it takes to be up and running with the most up to date software or restoring lost PLC

electing the correct application is a critical step in setting up the bar feed. This chapter defines the individual applications
choices found in the Application Setup. The differences between each of the applications determine how the feed out
process of the bar feeder will occur. Reference this section of the manual when changing applications on the lathe to
achieve ideal operating conditions and also to attain maximum efficiency of the Quick Load Servo S3 automated bar
feeding unit.

QUICK LOAD SERVO S3


5-2 Chapter 5: Barfeed Applications

Application Setup
The Quick Load Servo S3 is equipped with 7 pre-defined applications and 1 custom application defined in any configuration by the
user.
An “application” is defined as a specific function of the barfeed in automatic operation coinciding with the material processing of the
lathe.
The pre-defined applications when selected will automatically enable the required “Application” parameters on the barfeed to allow the
base application to function without having to select each one individually.
There are three types of parameters “Application”, “Variable” and “Interface”.

Parameter types defined


A. Application Parameter
Parameter that alters the automatic operation of the bar feed. (Set by selecting application)

B. Variable Parameter
Parameter containing a value used in a calculation. (Must change when Dia., Part length or
Application changes)

C. Interface Parameter
Parameter related to the electrical interface between the barfeed and lathe. (Not affected by
changing applications)

Applications defined
1. FEED W/TURRET AND WITH M-CODE
- The turret of the lathe will control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by the barfeed.
- To advance the material the clamping device of the lathe must be open and an M-Code output from
the lathe sent to the barfeed to enable the feeding sequence.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.

Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=3, 9=2, 16=2, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other “Application” type
parameters set to =1)

2. FEED W/TURRET AND WITHOUT M-CODE


- The turret of the lathe will control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by the barfeed.
- To advance the material an M-Code output from the lathe is not required. The barfeed will advance
the material when the clamping device opens and all other required conditions are satisfied.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.

Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=3, 9=2, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other “Application” type parameters
set to =1)

3. FEED W/O TURRET AND WITH M-CODE


- The turret of the lathe is NOT required to control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by
the barfeed. The servo positioning capabilities of the barfeed will control the distance the material is
advanced based upon the value entered into the “Input overall part length” parameter located in “1.
Part Setup”.
- A pull-to-close type clamping system is required by this application for positioning accuracy. If a
push-to-close type system is used the turret must be used for positioning.
- To advance the material the clamping device of the lathe must be open and an M-Code output from
the lathe sent to the barfeed to enable the feeding sequence.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.

Chapter 5: Barfeed Applications 5-3
Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=1, 9=2, 16=2, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other “Application” type
parameters set to =1)

4. FEED W/O TURRET AND W/O M-CODE


- The turret of the lathe is NOT required to control the positioning of the material as it is advanced by
the barfeed. The servo positioning capabilities of the barfeed will control the distance the material is
advanced based upon the value entered into the “Input overall part length” parameter located in “1.
Part Setup”.
- A pull-to-close type clamping system is required by this application for positioning accuracy. If a
push-to-close type system is used the turret must be used for positioning.
- To advance the material an M-Code output from the lathe is not required. The barfeed will advance
the material when the clamping device opens and all other required conditions are satisfied.
- This application assumes that pre-loading of the material in the barfeed is required.

Parameters enabled: 6=2, 8A=1, 19=2, and 83=1 (all other “Application” type parameters set to
=1)

5. SUB-SPINDLE STANDARD
- This parameter is not visible by default, a password is required to unlock. Contact LNS America,
Inc. for more information.
- The sub-spindle is required to pull the material to the desired position. The turret is NOT used to
position the material.
- NO M-Code is used to advance the material.
- The headstock of the lathe must be none sliding type (NO Z-axis movement).
- “Variable” Parameter No. 83 “Number of clamping device openings for the overall part length” must
correspond to the number of times the clamping device opens on the lathe to make one complete
part.
- If more than one clamping device opening is required, “Variable” parameter “Input overall part
length” must equal the total distance of the number of sub-spindle pulls.
- The pusher will remain in its home position except for the loading of the new material into the
spindle.
- When the number of clamping device openings of the lathe equal Parameter No. 83 in continuous
cycle, the length of one part which is entered into Parameter “Input overall part length” is deducted
from the overall material length as was determined when the material was initially loaded or
calculated after a restart. This process continues until the barfeed has determined that not enough
material remains to make another part. At this point the End of Bar signal is output to the lathe.
- If the lathe is removed from automatic cycle and the clamping device opened the barfeed will drop
out of automatic cycle. When the barfeed is restarted in automatic cycle the pusher will advance to
locate the back end of the material. Once the material is located the remaining length of the bar
stock is recalculated.
- The material is loaded to its pre-load position and will remain there until: clamping device is open
and a M-Code output from lathe to barfeed confirming its is safe to load the new material into the
spindle.

Parameters enabled: 3=2, 6=2, 8A=3, 19=2, 25=2, 28=2, and 83=1 (all other “Application” type
parameters set to =1)

6. SUB-SPINDLE SLIDING HEADSTOCK


- This parameter is not visible by default, a password is required to unlock. Contact LNS America,
Inc. for more information.
- The sub-spindle is required to pull the material to the desired position. The turret is NOT used to
position the material.
- NO M-Code is used to advance the material.
- The headstock of the lathe is sliding type (move in a Z-axis movement).
- “Variable” Parameter No. 83 “Number of clamping device openings for the overall part length” must
correspond to the number of times the clamping device opens on the lathe to make one complete
part.
- If more than one clamping device opening is required, “Variable” parameter “Input overall part
length” must equal the total distance of the number of sub-spindle pulls.

from the overall material length as was determined when the material was initially loaded or
calculated after a restart. This process continues until the barfeed has determined that not enough
material remains to make another part. At this point the End of Bar signal is output to the lathe
- If the lathe is removed from automatic cycle and the clamping device opened the barfeed will drop
out of automatic cycle. When the barfeed is restarted in automatic cycle the pusher will advance to
locate the back end of the material. Once the material is located the remaining length of the bar
stock is recalculated.
- The material is loaded to its pre-load position and will remain there until: clamping device is open,
output from lathe to barfeed confirming the headstock is in its home position and a M-Code output
from lathe to barfeed confirming its is safe to load the new material into the spindle.

Parameters enabled: 3=2, 6=2, 8A=3, 19=2, 25=2, 26=2, 28=2, and 83=1 (all other
“Application” type parameters set to =1)

7. ONE-SHOT SHAFT LOADING (High Speed Loading)


- This parameter is not visible by default, a password is required to unlock. Contact LNS America,
Inc. for more information.
- A pull-to-close type clamping system is required by this application for positioning accuracy. If a
push-to-close type system is used the turret must be used for positioning.
- Each piece of material is equal to one complete part
- NO pusher is to be installed on the barfeed.
- The headstock of the lathe can be either none sliding or sliding type (see point below for sliding
type).
- The loading flag must be configured to a specific length as to position the material to its desired
position inside the clamping device of the lathe (“Top-Cut Position”).
- Parameter No. 69 “Loading flag position” must equal the physical length of the modified loading
flag.
- The material is loaded to its pre-load position and will remain there until: clamping device is open
and a M-Code output from lathe to barfeed confirming its is safe to load the new material into the
spindle.
- If using a sliding type headstock lathe parameter 26 “Headstock home confirmation signal
connected to PLC input A7” must be set to 2. For more information on how to do this please
contact LNS America, Inc.

Preventative
Maintenance
P
eriodic maintenance of the Quick Load Servo S3 bar feeding system can only serve to improve the operation and prolong
its useful life. Following a few simple steps can be extremely helpful and takes relatively no time at all. The list of
maintenance procedures has been broken down into four groups determined by the frequency with which each procedure
should be followed, however, some items should be checked more often depending on the operating environment that the
equipment is exposed.

6-2 Chapter 6: Preventative Maintenance

Daily Maintenance

Verify the Air Pressure


The recommended setting for operation with optimum performance should be at a minimum pressure of 5 bar (75 psi.) and a
maximum pressure of 6 bar (90 psi.).

Weekly Maintenance

Verify that the Air Decanter is Empty


The air-filtering device is equipped with and automatic drainage valve, but depending on how much water is in the pneumatic circuit of
the building, the water that is recuperated can build up faster than it can be drained. Excess water in the air lines can cause
pneumatic cylinders to become defective. The water causes the o-rings inside the cylinder to swell up and no longer function
correctly.

Monthly Maintenance

Cleaning of the bar feeder


Wipe down the outside of the bar feeder with a cloth and any regular detergent. For cleaning the inside of the bar feed use a cloth or
brush, however, do not use these on any of the rollers or any other parts made of synthetic materials. The use of compressed air for
cleaning is not advisable, because chips and other particles can become lodged in sensitive areas and can impede the proper
operation of the bar feeder.

Annual Maintenance

Check the PLC battery


The PLC backup battery saves the PLC program in case of any power failure. The battery used in the LNS PCD2 is a non-
rechargeable 3VDC Lithium/ CD2032 battery. Over time, the battery will slowly discharge. The following chart shows the average life
expectancy of the battery:

Avg. Life Avg. Life


Use of Automation Expectancy: Expectancy:
25°C 55°C
100% off 0% on 3 years 6 months
0% off 100% on 5 years 4 years
30% off 70% on 4 years 1 year

Verify the alignment of the bar feeder


Check alignment of bar feeder to lathe spindle to make sure neither have shifted. In case the bar feeder or lathe has shifted, refer to
the Alignment Procedure pg. 3-3.

Belt Tension
After certain periods of time the linear rail belt may need to be tightened, refer to Belt Tension Adjustments pg. 3-10 & 3-12.

Recommended Spare Parts List
As an extended courtesy, a list of recommended spare parts has been compiled for the end user. The list consists of mechanical and
electrical parts that over time may become faulty due to everyday wear on the item. For machines that are running production during
multiple shifts or even 24/7, keeping an inventory of these spare parts can vastly minimize downtime. Keeping an inventory can also
be very cost effective since shipping costs can escalate immensely, especially in cases where rush delivery is necessary.
