The Sprint 542 from LNS can be adjusted exactly to the customer’s needs. This bar feeder can process bars in a diameter range from 5 to 42 mm. It can handle round and profiled material and the whole range of standard lengths, from 2-m to 4-m bars.

To make the bar feeder and the lathe even more productive, the company developed a new Human Machine Interface (HMI). Touchscreens facilitate the troubleshooting process for operators and assist them in supervising the machine. In addition, E-connect will enable fast and smooth Ethernet communication between the lathe and the bar feeder. A Web browser and Internet connection will be all an operator needs to connect to the lathe.

The company also offers chip disposal and coolant management systems (CCM) and other peripherals. The most important innovation in the CCM sector is the new Turbo MH500 chip conveyor, which can handle a multiple range of applications, materials and chip types and guarantees good filtration to keep the machine tank clear of chips.
