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.

turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
