Threading Operation
1. Prior to threading the rebar, ensure that the step drum is
in the forward position – if not move the ring handle to
the forward most position (# 3 position on the step drum).
2. Load the rebar to be threaded into the front guide ring,
through the vice jaws and into the second guide ring
until you feel the bar stop up against the touch probe.
3. Begin the threading operation by pushing the touch probe
back with the end of the bar. This will activate the cycle
start proximity switch. At this time the vice will close and
tighten on the bar.
4. The machine will rapid forward a short distance – just
short of the end of the rebar – and then go into a
controlled feed forward.
5. Once the bar is engaged by the cutters (chasers) the
threading process begins. The machine continues forward
threading the bar.
6. Just before the threading cycle reaches full forward
stroke, the chaser holders will release from the bar with
a popping sound.
7. As the machine begins to retract, the vice will open
releasing the bar.
8. The machine will rapid in reverse until the outer limit
proximity switch contacts the target and motion
will cease.
9. The threader is now in position to repeat the
threading cycle.
Remove the bar from the threader and check the thread
length with the correct bar end gauge and thread profile
using a chaser.
