LNS America, Inc.

The company offers many workhandling solutions, including the Hydrobar Sprint 542 automatic barfeed that feeds 12-ft. round, hexagonal or square barstock with diameters from 0.197” to 1.65” (5 mm ­to 42 mm) in a variety of applications for fixed or sliding headstock turning machines.

LNS’s Hydrobar Sprint 542 automatic bar loader feeds 12-ft. round, hexagonal or square barstock with diameters from 1/4” to 1 5/8” (5 mm ¬to 42 mm) into fixed or sliding headstock turning machines.

Communication between a bar feed and machine tool can save on remnant cost.

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.

Swiss Bar Feeder Announces Ambitious Growth and Expansion PlansSwiss company LNS announces considerable plans for growth and expansion into new markets. "The goal is to double the size of our company within five years," explains Thomas H.

 The lastest advances in bar feeding can help you prepare for the coming manufacturing resurgence.  

The Alpha ST 212 and ST 320 bar feeders provide reliability, stability and ease of operation, the manufacturer says. Model ST 320 feeds round barstock from 0. 12" to 0.

The Quick 6 S2 automatic bar feed from LNS provides quck and easy change-overs of the guide tube system for greater range and productivity, and increases safety by eliminating bars of as much as 6 ft. , 2 3/4" protruding from the back of the lathe, regardless of the lathe spindle length.

Machine tool accessories can make or break untended operation.

Model ST 320 Alpha Series bar feeds feed round barstock from 0. 12" to 0.

Quality surface finish of a part is not only dependent on the turning machine itself, but also on the barstock loading and support system. The bar feed system becomes critical to the surface finish outcome by enabling the turning machine to create the desired finish and/or by protecting the existing finish.

It’s probably blasphemous to describe Germans as giddy, but that’s the best word I can conjure for the mood at the recently completed EMO exhibition in Hannover.  

From the perspective of a barfeeding solutions company, this is an exciting time for the screw machine industry. We see our customers turning out a variety of parts, many of which are made to the tightest tolerances ever. We also find that they are rethinking their entire manufacturing process to improve productivity a

Through advanced design and manufacturing techniques, the heavy-duty LNS Hydrobar Sprint 552 and 565 bar feeds provide increased stability while reducing bar vibration, according to the company. As a result, these bar feeds improve productivity by enabling increased machine spindle rpm, improving surface finish and extending tool life. They also provide all of the technology the Sprint 555 offers.

The company’s Hydrobar Sprint 552 and 565 bar feeds provide increased stability while reducing bar vibration. As a result, these bar feeds improve productivity by enabling increased machine spindle rpm, improving surface finish and extending tool life. Both models have improved stiffness to weight ratios.

The Alpha series of automatic bar feeds are designed for pairing with entry level, CNC sliding headstock lathes. The Alpha ST 212 handles barstock diameters from 2 mm to 12 mm, and the ST 316 accommodates 3-mm to 16-mm diameters. The ST 212 eliminates the usual problems associated with feeding small-diameter barstock by mechanically advancing the material to the loading position with a nylon screw.

Manufacturers spend millions of dollars on liquid coolants each year to help machine tools cut metal more efficiently. In many cases, however, the effect of this coolant could be greatly enhanced—in some applications by 100 percent or more—by using a high-pressure coolant delivery system.

Recognizing that variations in material composition, tooling, spindle speeds and other factors require more specific coolant flow and pressure, LNS America, Inc. introduces a new line of high-pressure coolant systems. Named PowerStream BF, the new models can be configured to specific Swiss-style cutting machines and applications to improve production efficiency and cutting precision.

Recent developments in sliding-headstock turning machines allow for faster feed rates and higher spindle speeds—both aimed at increasing throughput to improve productivity. Sometimes, though, these machines cannot reach their full potential because of other equipment that runs in conjunction with it.

The Quick Load Servo 65 (QLS 65) from LNS America, Inc. loads 1/4" to 2 5/8" diameter short bars as long as 51". Useful for standard applications, the bar feed has many of the same capabilities as the Quick Load Servo S3, including precise servomotor-driven bar positioning.

The PowerStream BF high-pressure coolant systems can be configured to specific Swiss-style cutting machines and applications to improve production efficiency and cutting precision. The system offers flow rates from 4 to 10 gpm, 1,000 or 2,000 psi and is available for installations and retrofits. The compact shape and size allow placement beneath an LNS bar feed, thus saving floor space.

Quick Six is a compact, automatic bar feeder for 18" to 6' long barstock ranging from 5/16" to 3 1/8" in diameter. This bar feeder promises quicker bar feed loading, faster turning speeds and 4-minute change-overs. Unlike headstock length bar feeding systems, the bar feeder requires fewer bar cuts, reduces remnants and provides longer periods of unattended operation.

This company was skeptical about replacing its 12-foot bar feeders with an automatic, short-load system until it tested one manufacturer's system.

A flyer on the Hydrobar describes this hydrodynamic manual load bar feed system. It is said to suit all types of turning machines from 0. 039" to 2 5/8" diameter.

This brochure covers the Express 326, which is said to increase production. It features a quick changeover, automatic steady rest, GE Fanuc PLC and AC servo drive, guide channels, a 20" Z-axis retract, remnant retract and more.

In today's competitive marketplace customers demand products that are better, cheaper and delivered faster. This, of course, means manufacturers constantly struggle to improve both productivity and product quality.
