Patented Guiding System in Newest LNS Bar Feeder for Sliding Headstock Machines Enables Higher RPMs

Introducing the new LNS GT 342 automatic magazine bar feeder with a patented guiding system to allow higher spindle speeds for greater throughput from sliding headstock turning machines.

The compact base design gives increased rigidity thus dampening the amount of vibration coming from the bar and improving the overall performance of the machine.

The new GT 342 enables machining of bars from 0.12” to 1.73” (3-44 mm) and can guide bars from 32” (800 mm) to 12’.6” (3810 mm) in length. The new toolless channel design allows for partial changeovers of under 2 minutes with full changeover times of less than 7 minutes. Once unlocked, the lower channels simply slide out while the upper channel remains the same for the entire bar diameter range.

LNS designs, manufactures, sells and supports bar feeders, chip conveyors, Chipblaster coolant management systems, air filtration systems including oil mist collectors, and work support devices, worldwide.
