Hi!
Im banging my head against a wall here and really need som help.
I recently acquired my first lathe, Preestech TH25F with GSK980TB3i controller and a Fedek DH65L S2 bar feeder(Ive only had mills until now).
Its worth mentioning that i bought it from China, so support is.. not exactly up to par (which i was already expecting).
The program for the part itself is finished, however im really struggling with the bar feeder since ive never tried anything like it before.
I have an M13 (open chuck) and M12 (close chuck), and inbetween there a move to use the toolpost as a stop.
The bar feeders parameters are all set up and once it sees the M13 it will push out a new part, and when it sees the M12 it will retract the pusher a bit.
The issue is that the lathe does not listen to the feeder at all, it will simply run through its code wether the feeder is done or not.
To temporarily fix this, ive put a 1sec time delay before the M12 to give the feeder time to finish, however this obviously screws up as soon as we get close to the end of the bar.
What i want (i think, im open to suggestions if im attacking it wrong) is to add something before M12 that tells the lathe "wait until you get the ok from the bar feeder", so for example if the feeder needs to pickup a new bar it can do its thing and then go "okay im done" and the lathe will close the chuck and continue the program.
I did get a sample program for bar feeding from the seller, however im afraid im not sure what im looking at, im assuming it has something to do with macros, which ive never dealt with before.
Heres my current program:
And heres the sample program from the seller:
Any advice is greatly appreciated, even it its a "you're in over your head, go read this first".
