New Lower Priced, Dual Purpose Chip Conveyor Serves Swiss & Multiple Machining Processes
The MicroScraper 500 II is a new, lower cost, filtering chip conveyor from LNS America, Inc. Designed to compliment multi-tasking lathes and machining centers, this system uses an upper hinge belt conveyor to remove chunks, stringy, bushy and large chips of brass, steel, aluminum and other metals. Meanwhile, the lower scraper belt removes any smaller materials that pass through the upper conveyor. Filter boxes that are automatically and continuously cleaned remove particles as fine as 500 microns from the coolant before returning it to the coolant tank.
As a result, MicroScraper 500 II extends coolant life and reduces coolant sump maintenance while removing both fine and coarse mixed materials generated by multiple machining operations. Although this new system is an economically priced filtering conveyor, it is backed by the same national network that services and supports all LNS and Turbo products.

New, Compact, High-Pressure Coolant Systems Are Tailored For Specific Swiss Machining Operations
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, these new models can be configured to specific Swiss-style cutting machines and applications to improve production efficiency and cutting precision.
PowerStream BF offers flow rates from 4 to 10 GPM, 1000 to 2000 PSI and is available for new installations and retrofits. The compact shape and size allow convenient placement beneath an LNS bar feed, thus saving valuable floor space. Additionally, PowerStream BF uses a PLC-based control with multi-port capability to support the variety of operations necessary in today's competitive environment.
There are a variety of options available including extra capacity coolant tanks and heat exchangers, and LNS America applications engineers are available nationwide to advise customers on the correct flow and pressure for their specific situations.

Servo-Driven Bar Feed And High-Speed Unloader Enable Fast, Reliable, Unattended Operation
A proven LNS Quick Load Servo S3 automatic bar feed on one end of a turning machine and the high-speed Blaze Air unloader on the other makes efficient unattended operation a reality. LNS will demonstrate this dynamic in IMTS booth A8369.
In shaft load mode, the Quick Load Servo S3 bar feed loads new bar stock in just 4 seconds, completely changes over from one diameter to another in 15 seconds and permits feed rates up to 4,000 IPM. The bar feed accommodates virtually all CNC lathes with a bar stock diameter range of ¼" to 4 ¾". It accepts spindle lengths up to 63".
The Blaze Air unloads parts from the machine spindle automatically in 2 to 3 seconds, so it is easily integrated into automated production cells. This high-speed unloader is ideally suited to bar feeding applications for twin spindle or sub-spindle machines with thru-hole. Blaze Air removes parts through the back of the secondary spindle after both ends have been machined.
The compact dimensions of both the Quick Load Servo S3 and Blaze Air unloader are designed to provide maximum throughput in minimum floor space. And both are backed by LNS America's nationwide applications expertise, service and support.

New Automatic, Short Bar Loader Provides Faster Start-Ups & Servo-Driven Precision For Under $15,000
The new Quick Load Servo 65 bar feed from LNS America, Inc. automatically loads 1/4" to 2-5/8" diameter short bars up to 51" in length. With a starting price of less than $15,000, the QLS 65 is ideal for standard applications and includes many of the features found in the popular Quick Load Servo S3. These include quick start-ups and diameter changes, field-proven reliability, and the safety and precision of servo motor-driven bar positioning.
Operators can perform start-ups and changeovers quickly and easily by simply entering the new bar diameter, bar profile, and workpiece length through the control keypad. Quick Load Servo 65 then makes these adjustments automatically. When a pusher changeover is necessary, the exclusive LNS Easy Click system makes the process fast and simple.
A proprietary Soft Touch bar positioning system uses advanced servo motor control technology to virtually eliminate turret crashes. Plus, the Quick Load Servo 65 has a compact, space-saving design that requires 15% less floor space than earlier models. There is also an adjustable loading ramp and a convenient housing for storing the spindle liners. X or Z axis barfeed retraction provides easy spindle liner changes and access for machine maintenance

Cut At Maximum Spindle Speeds & Make Fewer Changeovers With New Dual Function Bar Feed
A new automatic bar feed for high production, precision applications is the first to incorporate both Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic principles in bar feeding. The Hydrobar Sprint 555 from LNS America, Inc. uses Hydrostatic operation that permits users to cut up to 12' bar stock at maximum spindle speeds without dangerous vibrations. This vibration reduction produces more precise surface finishes on parts being machined, and extends tool life. The Hydrodynamic principle allows for a range of bar stock diameters in one setup, fewer guide channels, and 2 - 8-minute changeovers, all of which reduce downtime, improve productivity and support unattended operation.
The bar feed's Hydrostatic feature uses a patented, self-opening bearing block design that permits users to run round bar stock at a lathe's maximum spindle speed with or without remnant retract. The Hydrodynamic principle uses an automatic front rest that prevents troublesome bar vibrations from transferring to the machine cutting area throughout the entire diameter range. It also adjusts automatically to the bar and pusher diameters when the operator inputs a bar stock diameter into the remote control.
Sprint 555 reduces the number of guide channels necessary to accommodate the 1/4" - 2-1/8" (5mm - 55mm) range of bar stock diameters, thus requiring fewer changeovers. When a changeover is necessary, a unique quick release system for changing guiding elements greatly reduces changeover times. The quick release feature allows an operator to manually change the guiding channels, without tools, in a matter of seconds.
